He told me what caused his problems, it all stemmed when he dropped his wallet on his foot, just thought you would all like to know.

Up until the other day though I could still feckin walk, cycle and swim (well if the pools was open). I was off climbing Alps only six years ago or so.

Can you relate the deterioration to any specific change of life or even diet?

Well I lost about five stone between 2011 and 2013 when we were extensively travelling Europe. I lost that partly because I was having knee trouble and it did make a massive difference but 2016 to now we have not travelled as much and I put it all back on again. Now its much worse.

So, that adds yet another thing to avoid, this is beginning to sound like my wife -avoid this, don't eat that, you must have your 25 a day, all totally fat free and lacking any enjoyable carbs....
If this keeps on going I might be tempted to go out and try and give a hug to every Frenchman I see, without wrapping my scarf round my face like Kid Curry used to do and I don't even HAVE a six shooter for added fun.. . We all know that Himself wrecked his bits by playing too much heavy rock - and not using the correct Manual Handling Regulations when he did it.....
Bend ze nees....... as every currently furloughed ski instructor would utter, frequently.

Not quite. I was diagnosed back in my 30s that they were on their way out and would likely be fucked before my time. My father had similar issues. Hips done in his late 40s (one of them three times in his lifetime), knees both done in his 60s. I know plenty of fat bastuds without knee problems. You are correct though, its not helped being a fat twunt. Its hard though. Its not like I didnt exercise though. We were regular gym goers and when I swim I feckin really swim! Sadly the catch 22 of being able to do fuck all else and eating and drinking too much caught up with me and I just kind of gave up. Now Im fucked. My own fault I guess. I enjoyed travelling and getting fit. Our motorhome trips were never about sitting around watching the world go by but the last few years there hasnt been much of that and ive let it spiral out of control. I am going to have to do something though.

Good luck with this journey, Baz. It's hard.
And it won't be made any easier by piss-taking Fruitcakes...
But seriously, good luck. Don't start before Christmas, though.

Rather large friend who played lots of sport had to have new knees in his 40s. Now in his 60s the docs say they can't do anything cos he is too heavy. Yer pays yer money and takes yer choice but I never played much sport except snooker and swimming and so far touch wood no knee problems.

I was fine until I laid the oak flooring throughout this place - a LOT of kneeling, even wearing knee pads. I was in my early-mid sixties then. That fucked my knees and they've not been any good since.
A strange thing has happened since I fucked my knees up... whenever I see someone "drop to their knees" or even sometimes just kneeling down, I get real pains in my lower legs, like "sympathy pains"... It's real and it bloody-well hurts, even though I'm just sitting at home!

I have done it before so ill have to do it again. The only thing to do is to feckin starve now I reckon if I cant get exercise. If you think I was a grumpy bastud before you aint seen nothing yet! I have pals that eat and drink way more than I do and the feckers never put weight on.
