Two (presumably famous) youngish women, stars of Dune 2, talking about how one of the voices had been done by 'Margaret Faithful'. Who? A quick Google revealed it was indeed Marianne Faithfull. Four people in the conversation, and nobody picked up on it. Tsk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about the time google glass came out because I remember thinking how much easier that would make things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted February 15 Moderator Share Posted February 15 As far as I know, I've only ever broken each arm once and both before the age of 13 But if a doctor told me I'd broken bones in either of my ankles at some point, I wouldn't question it given the state of them and how easily they occasionally give way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I fell down some steps at high school and properly broke my arm, “banana arm” is what was the term for it. Had to have an operation to have it straightened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Just to join in with the 3 villa boys, I snapped my ACL 18 months ago. Also tore my meniscus and slight knee fracture at the same time. Sadly not being a professional footballer or in my 20s or 30s they deemed that an operation to fix my ACL (which basically involves creating a new ACL from tissue elsewhere on the body) was not necessary and could make matters worse. The ACL is basically a kind of rubber band inside the knee joint, so once it's snapped, it's gone. So I just had to do loads of rehab to strengthen all the muscles in and around the knee and leg. I can still do most things but high impact sports are a no-no. But I'm 50 now so that isn't really something I'd be doing anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I broke my wrist whilst playing in goal. The opposing team didn’t take well to my rolling around theatrics and gave me a kicking for wasting time. Missed half a year of school PE, on the first week I turned up able to do PE, someone set fire to the gym and sports wing. No PE for an entire school year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Just saw that not only do you get ads with Amazon prime now, but they've also ditched Dolby Vision and Atmos from the tier as well. Unless you wanna pay the extra 2.99 a month your stuck with 5.1 at best by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now TV did the same thing years ago where if you didn't buy their booster pass you get standard definition and stereo sound. Just pisses me off that everything that can be charged for will be. If the family didn't use Prime for delivery it would be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar, we buy Amazon Prime mainly for the shopping side. The other thing is the music (free / inclusive tier). I very rarely watch things on Prime Video as I have other options for that.

lapal_fan Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Broke my leg in 3 places because I was having a piggy back on my brother and I shouted "YEE HAW!" and pulled back on his neck to impress a girl, he landed on me and i broke it in 3 places, two fibia, one tibia or vice versa. I was 7. Broke a rib fighting with my brother over the last piece of my birthday carrot cake. I was 24, he was 30. He won.. Snapped my ACL when flying a stunt kite in some shit Northern Welsh town near a Haven or pontins or summat. My feet were buried in sand and one of the two kite cables snappe and it twisted my knee. I tried to play football on it 2 hours later - LOL bad mistake. I tore my hamstring jumping for a volley at 7 a side, no-one near me and my hamstring rolled up my leg into my arse and I had to drive to the hospital. Every time I had to change gear, it was agony. Twisted my testicle when getting out of the car when I was 10, that was pretty nasty. Few stitches here and there falling when skating on quads 8-12. All pretty standard.

I would have been around 45, if you can imagine the most ungraceful central defender of the kick them first and take the ball later variety with all the grace of a baby elephant on ice scoring a perfectly timed flying volley that went in off the underside of the bar... yep that was me, my landing on astroturf, however, f***ing hurt, hurt so much I never played a second of football ever again. ... and to be fair, I went out right at the top of my game, I was never going to be capable of repeating that goal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
