ICTChris Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Zuckerberg seems like he might actually be quite good at jiu jitsu, he won a tournament a few months back. No idea about Musk's background in anything though. They will both have amazing trainers and loads of high end PEDs of course. I trained in jiu jitsu for a while many years ago, it's a great martial art - probably the best I'd say. Highly recommend it to anyone. I still think I could batter both Zuck and Musk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its widely accepted that the most functional combo for proper self defense is jiu jitsu and muay thai. Traditional Martial Arts have been rendered obsolete by the MMA scene, although i'm a big fan of them for body conditioning and mental health. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Woke up this morning like Quasi Modo. Phoned my doctor who after ten minutes told me I'm better phoning the optician as they deal with eyes and after ten minutes on the phone to them I can't get an emergency appointment until next week. Splendid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just walk into Specsavers and see if they can fit you in for an emergency appointment, think I might have had the odd email over the years but that's about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they want to talk to you about other parts of your body, get them blocked. I had a hospital appointment yesterday about my eyes. (I've got glaucoma - I've also got a cataract starting now.) I was there early and they took me right away, there seemed to be a distinct lack of patients. An hour and a quarter later I left, I certainly got my money's worth with everything from measuring my field of vision to an eye scan to your standard eye test. Keep taking the eye drops, and back in 6 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
