  1. What's the difference between a nurse and a helicopter? Not everyones been up in a helicopter.
  2. I think it looks great. I'd definitely put my name down for that.
  3. The problem with making the visor too dark is when you move from bright light into a darker area (tunnel, tree canopies etc) your eyes aren't able to accommodate quickly enough so they tend to aim for a light tint to try and cover both bases. When its really bright I use sunglasses and the sun visor together, that combo works well cos you can flip up the sun visor in shaded areas but still have the sunglasses for when bits of bright light breaks through.
  4. Ferry booked for 16th October so if you could have a word with the weather In a rather excellent score this is when my Dad will be discharged from hospital after his knee op. So I'll be about to take him to hospital and do the important stuff and will skip the irascible PITA recovery part which my mother will have the pleasure of doing
  5. Sierra Nevada is next to my place, only been up there in a car though, tis on my hit list to ride when I get back to Spain. The route we took up the mountain was good, the route we took back down was bordering on terrifying. I couldn't believe the road was open, ridiculously steep, narrow, single track with tight 180 degree turns and sheer drops. It makes the road down to Robin Hood Bay look flat I don't recommend riding down that either, there are kamikaze pedestrians all over the shop. Mind you you'd probably pay attention to the sign saying 'no vehicles access only'
  6. Excellent. I was surprised. I thought you’d end up with a new house! Loved the deer crossing your path
  7. Phantom pain is definitely a co-codamol thing. Try a couple of spoonfuls of this in a cup of tea or anything unfizzy. So many patients bung up after painkillers and this seems to be the most effective least awful solution. It's almost completely tasteless and doesn't alter texture like most disgusting concoctions. Although its best to start taking it before the painkillers cos once you're backed up its a different matter! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Resource-Optifibre-250g/dp/B019552U4Y?th=1
  8. Not the sort your after, Bristols uniform looks like a cleaning overall, tell him @boboneleg
  9. TLDR buy the ibuprofen and co-codamol separately and layer them. They have completely different actions so it depends on the cause of the pain. If the pain is caused by anything inflammatory (it often is) then the ibuprofen would be more effective than the codeine in co-codamol. If the cause of the pain is unknown or not inflammatory codeine which works to alter your perception of pain rather than acting on the cause would be the best choice. The nuramol if its 200/500 and you take two tablets is the full dose of ibuprofen and paracetamol which would mean you couldn't then take the co-codamol with it. Layering individual painkillers is the best way to go. That way you can take the maximum or minimum you need to control pain. Buy the co-codamol and the ibuprofen separately. Take the co-codamol and wait an hour, if thats not done the trick take the ibuprofen. These are safe to take together but are often staggered to take it easy on the liver! If this also doesn't do the trick then its GP time for something stronger but whatever they give you will likely be opitate based and these type of painkillers have diminishing returns ie you body produces more receptors for them so they have a decreasing efficacy and aren't really something you want long term. ps codeine and opiates really constipate a lot of people so if you end up going down that route then soluble fibre is a good addition!
  10. Yer I hear the slow death and extended exposure to adrenaline improves the flavour no end.
  11. It's hard to judge eating something only once because it's age, diet, how hard it has to work to get fed, how long it's hung for and the cooking method have a major impact on the flavour and texture. Ostrich steak was the biggest surprise I had, thats a fine tasting meat.
  12. Yer thats not for me then. Unless it's a pest that needs culling I wouldn't want to fuck about with the natural order. I've never been impressed with wild meat, you can't ask it to come in for slaughter when it's at its optimum so you never know how good its going to be. Rubber duck anyone?
  13. Blimey I didn't see that wee joke sending things off in this direction Is porcupine meat farmed or wild?
  14. Nice boots but are they the sort of thing you could wear clubbing….?
  15. Yep garaged at home was the only criteria I found that made any difference too.
  16. I think the padlock thing is a complete con, in this area it makes no real difference to the premium. I rang the insurance company and asked for a quote with a lock and without, it made £7 difference. So no way I’d commit to something that would let them off the hook if I forgot it. Also asked them for a quote with and without pillion cover and that made zero difference. As insurance companies are scum I’m resigned to the idea I’d be lucky to get anything out of them. I only bother because the one thing they do is protect other drivers from your own mistakes.
  17. That’ll be interesting
  18. Seriously, with a chainsaw?!! How big is it? ps so nice to ask that knowing you wont be the one with a smutty reply.. well maybe not a really smutty reply
