Cheers, Gareth, appreciated, but I posted an update a couple of posts above yours. Should have added that I did take Ibuprofen 400mg as well. Didn’t find it that effective TBH...

Update: Just about back to normal. Now just a bit sore rather than unable to walk! Had a proper night's sleep last night.

What didn't work (for me YMMV of course)
Google - too much info, well...

Neil, that must be horrendous. I wish you all the very best my friend.

Essexman - Many thanks. Will check it out.

Mark - have a physio near me. Will make an appointment ASAP

Again, many thanks for the replies. All advice taken on board. One of the (few) drawbacks of living alone is there's no one to moan...

Many thanks, gents. Have currently got a hot water bottle on it which is helping and need to take the dog out in an hour. Would take Naproxen but don't have any. Doubt a pharmacy would oblige...

Fell asleep on the couch on Thurs pm. Must have been in a twisted position as developed a pain in my lower back. Has happened before years ago and usually sorts itself out after a few days. Of...

I'm going for J Seaton, but the triangle in the middle is weird. You would think as an artist he or she would be legible otherwise why bother?

I understand what you're saying, but that’s the wrong way round. When removing, I've always used a springbar tool from the front (dial side). Opposite for attaching. Reason being that you're then...

Love old watch ads. Must be a labour of love to compile these. Brilliant resource. Thanks for posting.

38mm Hamilton Khaki Auto would be my recommendation. Looks good with a decent spec, and very hard to beat in this price range. Can be had new for around your budget.

Clicking probably due to spring bar end moving in the lug 'ole. Some SBs can have a thinner end than others or could be due to wear. Some experimental R & D should fix.

Was thinking of having a go myself in the not too distant future. Decided on a Bergeon case knife and a reasonably priced caseback press with dies. Both from Cousins. For opening, choice of tool...

Simple answer - Yes. Couple of purchases a few years apart. No issues and good comms IME. Has a solid reputation on here.

No. Never sold a watch. I'm a fussy beggar. I know what I like and don't like so only buy if I'm sure it's a keeper.

For around £200 you can have various models with:

316L Stainless steel case with screw-in solid caseback and excellent finishing
200m WR
120 click bezel with black...

Not quite my thing but enjoyed reading. Like many PRC brands you have to wonder how they do it for the money. Yes, I know it's cheap labour and narrow margins but you still have to have the...

I nearly went on WUS but didn't. I don't think I'd have been able to live with the shame...

There are 'better ' NATOs (CWC and Timefactors) but there is something about OEM Pheonix straps that I much prefer. Could be the webbing, the thinness, the tighter weave, the hardware, the fact that...

I wonder if you'd still hold that view if it was your meat and two veg that had been lopped off. It is not a piece of performance art. It's mindless destruction of something beautiful. At the very...

Well, that is a really lovely thing. A modern version in steel and ~38mm and I'd be first in the queue.

I think we need to be careful of our wording. The general consensus is that vaping is most likely LESS harmful than fags, and is the number one method enabling folks to successfully give up tobacco....

I'm an ex-smoker (and ex-pipesmoker - Falcons/Petersons were my pipes of choice). Switched to vaping over ten years ago and still vape though not as much as previously. I've tried all the gear and...

Like it very much but (please take with a big pinch of salt) I'm not sure about the two trees on the left, perhaps a bit too close together. Also good to include a focal point that draws the viewer...

Apologies if this has already been posted, but news to me living under a rock. Just learned that Network Distributing ceased trading in May. For those of us of a certain vintage, Network were...

Davie McPhail - Fly tying by the world's best. Very relaxing. (I don't fish)
Guido Warnecke - Ferry pilot (I don't fly)
Fred Dinenage - one of the all-time great broadcasters and still going...
