When of course, the fine residents of Fareham should be more alarmed that their kids canât do A levels in the borough.
Technically, I think it means we need to reoccupy Brittany.
I think I can happily ignore the patriotic rallying cry of a ruthless Australian lunatic.

Builders, plasterers, electricians and plumbers who canât be arsed to either turn up or to contact you.
What the fuck is wrong with them?
We are trying to give you money ya twats - just turn up and you get money for it - yes, itâs called business.
Or if you are being asked to do a job, answer the fucking phone.
If you donât want the job just say, but donât promise to turn up and then not bother.
No wonder we have a frigging housing crisis.

TBF, weâre all a bunch of wankers in the building game, but i donât think weâre solely responsible for a housing crisis. A bit, mind.

Well done on getting back to me - thatâs progress. 
See if you can tell some of the other trades about this new concept.
When the groin Injury youâve been nursing for 6 weeks goes TWANG just when you thought you could step up the exercise level.
Wondering if it might be a hernia problem. Anyone had one?
Sorry mate, I bunged them a few quid to come and do my job instead.
Thatâs capitalism for you.

Hmmm. Iâve pondered whether or not to start a physio questions thread but to be honest Iâm far too lazy, and I mostly only really come on here to let my stupid out and talk about football (sometimes I do both at the same time). Iâll try this one though, was your âtwangâ above or below the âfunzoneâ? Or does it match up with any of these areas?

No its none of those areas.
The problem is at the join between the top of my leg and pubic bone / pelvis. It seems to be a muscle tear and Iâm guessing that the muscle must attach somewhere in the pelvis.
There is a slight swelling that is level with the femoral one in your diagram. But itâs not on the leg but in the groin (edge of pelvis area).
BTW how did you know that I have no penis and unsightly warts all over my body?
PS after all that Iâm guessing that youâre a sheet metal worker, right?

1/ Unlikely to be a hernia then, likely one of your hip adductor muscles, can take ages to settle as easily tweaked.
2/ Educated guess, based on clues provided to me by certain Sotonians on matchday drinking sessions. They all talk about you when youâre not there, which I donât discourage.
3/ I am. Just with a penchant for discussing/examining groin injuries.

Whatâs the best course of action, vag star?
Rest?
I strapped it up last night when I went out dancing with The RaleighBoy, and that gave some relief.
I also got a massage device* for Xmas and Iâve been massaging it** which seems to stimulate blood flow and makes it easier.
Anything else?
*Mrs Bletch basically bought me/her the worldâs biggest vibrator.
**my penis, should I focus on my groin instead?

Focussing on your penis will provide you with some distraction and likely some temporary releif but will not resolve the injury, nor will it delay healing so crack on.
Massage and gentle stretches will help, as will light activity, otherwise the already tight adductors just heal tight and shortened, making them more likely to get strained again, this is why they tend to be niggly re-occurring problems.

Can I show you mine next?
Similar to his issue but I donât whinge about it so much.
I put him on a course of Man-up tablets four times a day but he said he needs them in liquid form as he gets a sore throat if he doesnât wear his winter cravatâŚ

Whilst we look like brothers, they call us the scissor sisters.
Yoga was helping before it went twang again so Iâll build that up slowly.
As a sheet metal worker, you wonât know this but it looks like itâs my adductor longus or the adductor magnus as I can trace the painful muscle to the rear of my left leg.
However, it only really hurts significantly if I try to move my left leg towards my right such as trying to make my knees touch. Looking at that diagram and using my very rudimentary biology (O Level) knowledge, it looks like the adductor brevis that would control that but that seems to be on the top of the thigh.
You were right about the penis, BTW.

1/ Definite possibility.
2/ All of the adductor muscles will be involved with this movement.
3/ I didnât need feedback for this (not that it isnât appreciated), I was never in any doubt.

I suspect it was over enthusiastic âfocusâ on his penis that caused the strain in the first place
