So I have an irrational fear of heights (falling) and rollercoasters.

I know this won’t be much to a lot of theme park regulars but since a child I have feared rollercoasters and still have a horrible fear of heights or falling, not quite sure which, on Thursday my wife stuck me on Oblivion and I was shitting myself but actually really enjoyed it.

We went to the late opening of Thorpe Park last night, howeverI chickened out of Swarm because of its first drop. I was so frustrated with myself that we went back this morning because I shouldn’t be setting a precedent to my daughter of irrational fears.

Anyway I’m rambling, for those that fear coasters, go on swarm, it’s buttery smooth, fun as hell and that first drop is nothing once you’re up there. It’s a great ride if you’re like me and fear something that you really shouldn’t to help retrain your brain.

Also as you can tell from the commentary my wife is oh so supportive!

Is there anything glaringly obvious wrong with my swing?

Just looking for some opinions, I’m a relatively new golfer, well I feel like it anyway but been playing on an off for 3 years, more so last year and have been getting some lessons. Most of which have focussed on position, particularly my right knee at impact because I was very face on. I am still a bit but I ruptured both by cruciate ligaments several years ago in that knee so think a little bit of it is me protecting my knee subconsciously.

I play Talormade P770 irons and hit my 7 iron around 160 for reference.

I feel like in my setup I am standing quite tall and my neck looks odd but I don’t actually feel like I’m too close to the ball so maybe I’m just odd looking.

Settling in or something wrong?

Hi all, hope you are good. Just looking for some thoughts.

Ive had this Honey Gourami now for around 3 days and for the most part he is doing well. Quite inquisitive, doesn't hide much and isn't afraid of people coming to the tank, he's also eating.

He is settling down and for a large portion of the day he's just swimming around but for half an hour yesterday and today he is just glass surfing like in the video. I know the side looks very reflective just he does it even with a black screen on the side.

I know he could just still be settling but wondered what others though as he is my first honey gourami.

My parameters are:

20 Gallon tank, PH 7.3, GH 9, KH 4, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 10-20 so I don't think its parameters, in the video the Chilli and Phoenix Rasboras are quite stationary towards the bottom but they're normally fine and swimming together at the top, the video was just taken towards the end of the day and this is where they sleep.

Any advice from those Gourami owners would be much appreciated.
