Incongruity


For instance, I sometimes see a guy riding up Dartmouth Road on a bike, smoking a fag and smiling.


Then yesterday, I saw an old guy pushing his own wheel chair up the hilly bit of LSL, then getting back in it at the top to carry on wheeling himself by hand.


Both of these "visions" as incongruous as they are, filled me with absolute joy.



Why is that ?


Do you see such things, if so do tell.

( if not, just p*ss off and read another thread )

There's really nothing odd or incongruous about this though! Wheeling uphill is very tiring. Clearly he has some use of his legs and finds it easier and (probably) invaluable exercise to use the chair as a walking frame when manoeuvring uphill: then into the chair to rest the old legs when back on the flat...

Jeez..


Lighten up SimonM. I've seen a dwarf riding a pony on the Isle of Sheepey and then on the same road a woman in an electric wheel chair with a parrot on her shoulder.


Water of a ducks back to you no doubt SimonM. But I notice these things, In fact I revel in them, whereas you live in a sedated world breathing the staled air of boredom and monotony.


Get out more before it's too.....


Oh who cares about you, this thread is about ME.



Oh & ianr is trying at least.

Of course Polly D.


That is exactly what i'm looking for, if only there were more girlz like us!


I spotted a teenage girl walking to school aided by a single crutch. When a bus came she popped the crutch under her arm and ran like crazy to get on board.


( there seems to be a medical theme developing here )

God is looking down on me, of that i'm sure


Does it get any better than a mohawked paunchy old Punk, sitting listening to a man wearing brothel creepers, playing the bag pipes?

Oh, if only the dwarf from the Isle of Sheepey could have ridden by on her pony.


Now that would have been perfect.

Pshaw! Were you not such an arriviste you'd perhaps be able to recall that a while back I reported on here as having seen a pink hearse (empty!) gliding along Forest Hill Road...Now that was incongruous! :))

    • Hey Huggers, please can you share the fabulous chiropodist's details?  Huggers, I think podiatrists are the same and podiatrists, pretty much. Why aren't you sticking with the chiropractor, out of interest, if they seem to think the problem is more posture-related than solely (sorry) down to the feet? 
    • Thankyou! Originally I had a private referral ( husband had health insurance at time) and so worn insoles for years but I still wear my shoes down in one place at a ridiculous rate! A fab chiropodist agrees with posture is everything stance. Experienced cobbler says some it ain’t right and I’m over corrected. 
    • I've booked a session with Elmcourt Clinic in West Norwood, recommended by our daughter. A two-week wait for the slot, though.  https://www.elmcourtclinic.co.uk/
    • I don't know everyone else's foot problems are, but I have classic and apparently quite bad deformity - bunions, pain etc. I went to the Woodware Rd practice a few years ago and got orthotics for the not inconsiderable price of £600.  The team there seems very nice but, now that I am experiencing a new type of foot pain, I'm wondering if I've been doing it all wrong these years with supportive trainers and insoles. I'm beginning to realise (seems obvious now) that, if I want to cure my foot pain, maybe I need to change the way I walk, and my posture etc. And also, maybe I need to try barefoot shoes, to build muscle where there's been no need prior, because shoes have been doing all the supporting.  I've been educating myself with Helen Hall and Lawrence van Lingen and addressing my gait seems like a more organic way to solve the problem. Podiatrists will convince you that orthotics and / or surgery are the only way to go, but look up reddit forums and you'll find countless people saying they 'cured' their bunions with barefoot walking / shoes / and exercises.
