You lost me from your first sentence

Find someone else to play with you mischief maker.

I would never have known, your spelling punctuation and grammar are always flawless

Well Marcel you are on fire today

Try what, talking to you in the language you profess to be fluent in ie common sense?

Well they and an army of armchair experts misusing Dr Google can’t possibly be wrong can they

Was hoping for a quiet one but the boys have both just txt to say they’ll be down tomorrow, then two are going to the rugby club for a Colts reunion and one is going to a surprise birthday party. I swear if I have to wipe up vom splatter again I’ll.. I’ll.. umm.. probably just wipe up vom splatter

Oh FFS alright. You’re grasping at what is known as iatrogenic illness or disease. A topic that is studied before qualifying by anyone who works in the medical profession. It is far more prevalent in countries where private healthcare dominates and pharmaceutical companies find it easy to push their wares. The tidal wave of opiate addiction from prescribed meds in America is well documented and quite sinister. It is the opposite way round in the UK because meds cost money and they don’t want to spend it unless they have to. But there are still cases of inappropriate polypharmacy. It happens here occasionally that older people go into hospital and the first thing that happens is stopping almost all their meds because in combination they’re doing more harm than good. But that is rare. Most of the time those blood pressure pills, or diabetes meds are keeping that person well and alive. Why someone who’s devoted their life to studying disease and developing vaccines would know more than someone who’s read a few crackpot articles and come up with some bizarre theories after contemplating it for a few nano seconds is truly a mystery. I’m certain with a few days wading around the internet watching a few youtube tutorials you would have been delighted to let that person operate on your recent obstruction. No? Rather it was someone knowledgable who dedicated their time to that task? Well just make sure you only believe the people that it suits you to and dismiss everyone else who is dedicated to a field you clearly don’t understand. Reading some of the unbelievably ridiculous things on here it’s clear some folk really do need to go see the Doc and get more pills not less.

Boris is that you?

@XTreme If folk don’t have the desire or ability to read various credible resources to form coherent thoughts theres not a lot of point even trying is there? There is a cool word for them though - Mumpsimus!

Correct. Antibiotics work on bacterial infections not viruses. Giving someone with a virus antibiotics will not stop the infection. It is usually done to - A. Protect a someone who has a nasty virus from getting a bacterial infection. B. To cover all basis if theres a suspicion the patient with a virus may have subsequently developed a bacterial infection. The inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics is what led to resistance eg MRSA so it had to stop. If everyone with a virus was given antibiotics we would be back to the days where there were none and folk would die from bacterial infections pronto. Bacterial infections tend to be fast and extremely nasty, without working antibiotics we’d be living in a very different world.

Same way you think you’re 5’ 10”

I thought that too But they manufacture with indo-Asians in mind who expect to be able to fix things cheaply (ie it bends back and is easily welded) so they make a lot of it from steel.

No idea what the current advice is on Covid jabs Pete. Seems theres a lot of making it up as they go along. Generally you can be re-jabbed with any vaccine after twelve weeks. So I’d guess 5 months is ample.

Itchy Boots is currently riding it somewhere or other, India probably.

Aw-shucks.

Just humour Pedro. You and Buckster would make a fabulous welcoming committee

You up for it? She does own amongst other things half a motorcycle dealership, how does a free bike sound?

Funny name for child but Sovereignty must be a big boy by now, thats gonna hurt.

Talking of planning for the future my Pop’s has just text me to say he received a letter from one of my mums friends saying she’s worried about her, so he rang her and it sounds like the dementia coming on has descended to the point she’s doing dumb stuff. My Pa has declared he’s going to do precisely nothing, likely thinking he can lump this on me to deal with and I’m not up for it, not one bit. It’s going to be a tough time as no-one wants to care for her

Nope just another little microchip implanted cos the government doesn’t believe the one you got with the vaccination is working, no-one spends that much time buying teabags and visiting abandoned buildings, it’s very suspicious.

If thats what Bucks told you it must be true.

Ok here it goes- No cutty anything outy. Just pokey muscley thing back inny. How’s that?
