Meccano

Have got one of the grandsons round for a sleepover. He's 8 and into Lego and Meccano, so I dug out my childhood Meccano. Most of it came to me secondhand from a lad who was about 6 years older than me. So by my calculations that means most of it is over 65 years old!

Can’t believe I’m agreeing with Beaker but those chairs are indeed excellent. I had one in my hotel room in Kagoshima about five years ago. Bloody awesome after a day at work!

There speaks someone who doesn't suffer with their back....:cool:

After the spinal fusion that I had a couple of years back, I suffer upper back pain every day. Some days it's just background pain, other days it really grinds me down. The therapeutic power of a good, long, hot soak should not be underestimated.

A mate of mine married a Thai girl about two years ago .. During the party we had last July to wet their new babies head I asked how his back was nowadays ( he broke his back in a quad accident several years ago.. it is held together with pins and they also had to fuse it in places )..
Told me that he lies on the floor and his woman walks on his back. Does it at least once a month and he aint had so much as a twinge for yonks
