Participation in sport - big assumption there old boy!

Hockey, Golf, Powerlifting and Skirmish sports have been a part of my life for several years.
Prior to that I played Rugby, was pretty big back on the day when I served… was good at it too!

Can’t do any of it in lock down… and if local sport cannot, then neither should the leagues.

One thing to do it, very different just arm-chairing it.


If Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V was an Olympic sport you’d win Gold

Your “if it suits me” rhetoric is amusing.

And we begrudge no State locking their borders to keep covid out.

All your posts are designed to stir the pot Bob.
It’s evidenced in almost every post.

Thinly veiled.

Those with a genuine interest in what’s going on aren’t reading your posts - they’re looking at the stuff directly - you know, on the net, where you get all your stuff from.

Stress is a huge problem for many. Heather- Roverlords comment about medical staff who are being abused resinging on mass was reinforced by a Doctor this morning who was clearly very very distressed by a person repeatedly demanding to be seen by her despite the issue not being urgent and the person being at a Tier One and Tier two site and required to stay home for 14 days. Apparently calling hourly to demand what she had been clearly told cannot happen.

The psychologist or psychiatrist on the radio chatting about that felt the person doing the demanding was probably showing a clear stress/anxiety disorder and probably needed a referral to help with that issue more than the help they where demanding from the stressed specialist.


My selfish return to running is my mental health tonic I am soooooo lucky to be doing again now. Dropping a line in the ocean or a river, watching the waves, walking, Marathons ( sorry I have an obsession ) are all meditation

Pick yours and do it your way. Reading is cool. Note reading bad news all the time gives us a outlook which might be better helped by keeping another enjoyable reading book at hand.

Mindfulness is helpful to everyone

Exactly! Trawling the web for all the bad outcomes of say Covid, does not help.

Condensing all of that into posts on a forum that is an escape for many - our LRs doesn’t help.

Best to let people go elsewhere to seek the Covid news (and other topics like politics, wars etc).
