I apologise to everyone.
like I said I don't want things getting nasty and people saying things that are offensive to others .
I didn't actually think the thread would be locked. I did not think I had that much power.
My list of people I want banned will be published later today and I will expect immediate action.
Thinks. That won't work as the mods will be top of the list ,so who will ban the others?
direct appeal to bluemoon?
i get exactly where you were coming from btw, including the scope it had for getting heated/personal/messy, but well... it hadn't so far, and there are few and far between opportunities for such interesting discussion to be honest.

If it needs a reconstruction (it might not, a few weeks of physio will tell) then they'll take a piece of the medial ligament and graft that onto the stumps or whatever's left of the ACL. Big old op though. Pretty horrendous pain and leg in plaster for a good few weeks followed by another God knows how long on crutches/limping/not doing any exercise. Rather do without if I can.
Concur on the religion chat.
frigging ouch. oh i think i know some of that - they split the ligament, then take a couple of bone plugs to reattach the donated bit to the two ends of the joint it needs to be attached to. but yeah, if it is that one i'm thinking off it's painful and you're immobilised for a good long time. it is the kind of thing to get done when you're younger and suffer a few months, rather than leave it and suffer from a completely fucked knee in middle-old age.
hey, could be worse though. know a lad who got drugged, mugged and dumped off a bridge - shattered his left leg about two inches down from the hip joint, when they pulled him out the joint had rotated 90 degrees to the side and popped through the skin. long shot is he has a plate and screws that expand and hurt if he sits in sunlight, the bone is healing funny so after three months he still cannot weight bear on it, and he's been told he will be on crutches til at least january. oh and they seem to have made his leg about an inch longer than it was, so he'll always have a limp/back problems. and he can't work cos he's a doorman and they have no other positions they can put him on.
