Oh cool. Congrats on finally having your bris -- it's unusual at your age, but c'est la vie! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Thanks. I'm not usually one to brag, but apparently it's not everyone who needs 8 mohels and 5 litres of local anaesthetic. (And 10 shots of vodka)

The charity I walked for (and some of you kindly sponsored!) have asked me if I would be prepared to speak at an event they are putting on about recovery from abusive relationships.

I'm about to go on holiday so have said I'll discuss when I come back. It's in this thread because I'm beyond honoured to be asked, but I'm honestly not sure. Aside from the fact I've never been a good public speaker (I don't like being the focus of attention in a space - and it doesn't come a great deal more direct than standing in a room delivering a talk), I just honestly don't know what I'd say and feels like a lot of responsibility with such a tricky, highly personal subject.

Still, wonderful thing to be asked to do!

Why not suggest to the organisers of the event that you make it more of a discussion rather than just you talking? For example it could be you being "interviewed" for want of a better term by one of the staff about your experiences. You could prepare the answers beforehand rather than doing an actual talk...

That's a really good idea - thanks Tiste! Posted Image

First game of indoor season. Started with no subs, played second half a man down against a team with almost 3 full lines.

Won 5:1. Felt like I was in good enough shape to run another game.
Mind, the team we played was pretty terrible (the score, and the fact that I scored a goal- which is something that happens like once in a few years), but it was still a good feeling.

Later in the day my trivia team totally bombed out pub quiz tho, so the cosmic balance was restored,

You just loop it like an 'O', but leave a little gap on the right.

Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

We are on holiday in Cornwall. It has rained a lot but it's a lovely part of the UK. Can't believe I have never been before. We have eaten a lot of icecream in the rain. It has been the quintessential wet British seaside holiday until today when the sun shone and we had fish and chips on the beach in Newquay.

Physicists are suggesting that there may be a primordial black hole in our solar system:

If their hypothesis is correct, we should be able to detect it and hopefully use it to test physics theories that had previously seemed practically untestable for the foreseeable future.
