Genuine Hibs Fan Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 In the cause of being adventurous after attending a funeral yesterday and with the day off, we decided to take a dook in the Forth at Granton this morning. Was good fun even if we were only in a minute or two. My legs still feel mental though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be using this brave act to raise money for dementia, as that was one of the illnesses of the person whose funeral we were at #itswhathewouldhavewanted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i know anything about this, but i expect that someone has probably established that old people who go swimming in cold water are less likely to have dementia, and not realised that's because people with dementia are less likely to be out and about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick google suggests Cambridge University have found something in it, a "cold-shock" protein found in regular cold water swimmers which helps prevent degeneration of yer brain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 My work has decided that we need to have cameras turned on in zoom for when we log in in the morning and for any meetings because apparantly isolation has been tough on peoples mental health and seeing other faces would cheer them up. I'm sympathetic to anyone with such issues but I dare say looking at me won't help them with that, I'm sure there are webcam services available if that's what you're in to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
