I've got an awful pain in my right heel making it quite difficult to walk if I've been still for a while. Hurts like hell!

[Boboff]

Well Deadly I think more of you for your response to said criticism.

Good.

No if we could work on polishing that chip of your shoulder..........

[dimtimjim]

Or maybe I'm just dense.

Must... resist...

My hip is really painful today - the worst it's been in a while. As soon as I left the house this morning I was limping along. It sucks.

[dimtimjim]

Ankles up near ya ears last night?!

[Nicola_Red]

Yes, having degenerative osteoarthritis at 38 is hilarious. OH NO WAIT

[The Deadly]

When did he mock you for that??? Not Tim's fault your hip hurts is it?

[Nicola_Red]

Where did I say it was? What I said was I don't find it funny. Apologies if this pain leaves me short on a sense of humour.

You implied he made the comment in the full knowledge he was mocking your condition in the fact you mentioned it in reply to him. In fact he was probably just trying the lighten the mood.

[chrysostom]

Ah c'mon now oldies. Lighten up, Tim was just having a laugh and Nic was understandably over sensitive because she's grumpy given her pain.

Noone else needs to get involved, or get offended on behalf of others

edit. I imagine DTJ is no stranger to making a light hearted comment only for the recipient to judge the context wasn't appropriate. Like that time rigamortis set in at that wake and he said this was as awkward as an erection at a funeral.

[Nicola_Red]

You're right, I'm probably being overly precious. I just find it difficult to joke about.

So would I.

* helluva difficult condition to spell.

[Nicola_Red]

Osteoarthritis? It's not so bad. Not as bad as when Dan had Guillain–Barré syndrome

[flyingbadger]

Not as bad as when Dan had Guillain–Barré syndrome

He thought he was a winger for Paris Saint-Germain?

Bloody hell. That's awful.

[chrysostom]

Don't worry Badge, I was trying to come up with a Guillem Balague pun but thought noone would get the reference.

[Nicola_Red]

Well, I certainly didn't.

[Yudster]

I would have.

[dimtimjim]

Amen to that Andy.

So sorry Nic, obviously, no offence intended.

[Misfit]

The girl sat next to me on the train back home is reading everything I write. As I know you're reading me write this...please stop. Thanks

[Bonanzoid]

Would that be a condition relating to average journalism? He's a bit of a choad.

[chrysostom]

I used to run a Balague parody twitter account which consisted of him having various meals with different football related people and gaining exclusives.

He complained about me and had me shut down personally.

[Yudster]

Surely Twitter aren't allowed to do that unless you have actually pretended to be him? If it was clearly a parody account, they can't shut you down just because the parodied party complains can they?

That's brilliant. What a touchy git he must be.

[The Deadly]

The coverage of the Woolwich incident is bugging me. It's slightly reminiscent of the London riot coverage which was absolutely shameful.

This was a while ago, maybe around 4-5 years ago - before Twitter had a policy on parody accounts, and I didn't have 'parody' in my bio. It all came to a head when @TheBig_Sam got suspended and there was outrage as he was very popular. Then they set out their guidelines, although I might fire up the Balague thing again!

The one I remember most was "Just out at Prezzo with Marcos Senna discussing Villareal loan targets. Waiter won't accept my 2 for 1 voucher,considering causing a fuss "

(this was all based on anecdotes which Balague would tell about meeting up with famous la liga stars and getting exclusives)

Although I so despise parody account which are in no way parody...just an excuse to gain followers under someone else's name. The bios say ridiculous things like "not in any way affiliated with Will Smith", yet their name is 'Will Smith' and their username is Will_Smith - and all they do is post 'inspirational quotes' or 'hilarious' pictures.
