Great thing about today is having an MRI scan. Nothing like that existed in my sporting days and it was good old fashioned X rays and lead aprons for the technician.

One of my ex army friends suffers from it and he has had to change his life style to try and slow this down.

At least you seem to accept it and that is good. Denial is the worst in all of our issues.

Good luck and no regrets.

if that is a condition.....

HAVING a big Ananconda is not an issue, BOASTING about it is a serious mental problem.
In case you didnt know already Thai girls tell everyone they got a a big anaconda until after they get paid, then they go tell their girlfriends ur an easy customer cos you got a wiener
Thats why its called lieland

I wont even pretend ... sigh.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the aim not to get hit but to hit the other guy instead?

I always thought the aim was to duck and dive and avoid getting hit, and then when you spot an opening whack the other guy? That was my take on boxing anyway.

I hated boxing and relied on speed to keep out of the way of the other guy.

I worked on the idea that talking was the first option.
But "when the mouth gives out the feet take over" I run better than I can fight.
