After spending quite a bit of time and money on physio, osteopaths, resistance band exercises and whatnot... i was intensely annoyed to find that this does actually seem to be the case.
The solution to back pain is weightlifting.
You’d imagine it would aggravate it but unless you’ve got a slipped disc or something it’s actually the cure.

Couldn’t get back to sleep so checked the internet and wow that is some serious twisted nightmare shit going on out there, I’m going back to the comfortably straightforward dream about being naked during the exam I didn’t study for. I want this all gone by the time i wake up again, is that clear?

Every time I have to use one of the terms “vega”, “vanna”, or “volga” I die a little bit inside.
I once worked somewhere that insisted on calling vega “kappa” which was great but made talking to new hires or anyone else very confusing.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

Actually, thinking about it, I would probably quite enjoy it if someone made this game.
Oxygen Of Publicity in play so I get +2 charisma because nobody can hear Gerry Adams’ silly squeaky voice; however Culleybackey is in knip so you have to pass the “Say the Letter H” trial before you can draw from the Flegs deck.
