It is hard to understand pain.D'oh, that was me being a bit dense. I kinda did notice the other six threads made by the Dutch lad earlier today
I understand that Yogi may seem functional and able to work, but to understand the pain a person deals with is subjective.
I agree that Yogi creates a persona here, but I have always restrained from telling him that his pain was an excuse.
Perhaps it is, or perhaps Yogi doesn't bother us with his daily problems with his pain.
Whatever he receives in disability is a pittance. He is not living a life of luxury pretending to be injured. He lives on the edge to be sure.
Bottom line, I don't try to assume what pain he deals with. If he does get benefits which are unfair, because he can obtain a normal job, I don't care.
He lives on the fringe and sacrifices accordingly.

Well, I do care.
I've been similarly restrained up until recently but it really is a pet peeve of mine. If people want to hold their hands out and not attempt to get work, then okay - stfu about it, if you don't then I'll say what I think about the situation.
As I do with every other situation I read about, should I feel moved to reply.
If a man can drive, walk, type and think then he can work. Yogi could easily do my job, physically - but he can't be arsed.
Pain is subjective but it isn't dependent on environment. Sitting on your arse playing interweb in a caravan or sitting on your arse typing stuff at my office. Your back still hurts.

Thanks, Hobbes.
You really touched me there.

Looking for loopholes
Guillaume, there are attractions to this approach believe me. It is that or perhaps I could run away from home.
Fortunately, the Aberdeen connection is not one that is plugged into the equation too often. At nearly 15 a little rebellion is to be expected + I think she enjoys seeing my hair turn ever more grey.
We have since discussed steroids and safety and hopefully all is now well on that front. I had emphasised no alcohol prior to the trip to the detriment of other avenues. I will simply have to be more specific (and wide ranging) in future.

@gemby! - My face didn't go puffy but there are a lot of different types so-
That's the way the potato mashes.
That's the way the pan flashes.
That's the way the market crashes.
That's the way the whip lashes.
That's the way the teeth gnashes.
