If I have more than 4 in a morning I'm risking a heartattack Maybe half an hour or so? Gives the boost needed for a good hard skipping session at the gym. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She showed me her large cappuccino and I told her I’d just had 10 espressos and know P&B is more geared towards moaninng about modern phrases but I heard one this morning that cheered me up. Speaking to a young lady (a Christina Hendricks type) we weshe exclaimed “shut the front door”. Enjoy the novelty of it while you can. I'm afraid it comes from this side of the Atlantic and while I've never heard it in real life, it's a phrase very, very overused by television presenters. You should hope it doesn't catch on where you are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Just now, Sergeant Wilson said: You should introduce boot in the pie over there. Remember John McEnroe getting in bother for saying a female player needed a kick up the fanny. I think something got lost in translation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Huh. I figured I was probably on the high end of caffeine users, but I'm comfortably low-moderate, according to Mixu's pic. Bit worried about the quinine in the Bru, but I wasn't going to live forever anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my various health issues resulting in me giving up the fags and then the drink (initially due to meds, now just not bothered), I recently had a stroke and, alongside drawing back from active TU work and re-roling in my job, the last of the unholy trinity has now gone - I'm on the decaff! In all honesty, for all the "I'm useles until my first two brews in the morning" mythology, I'm not missing it and the withdrawal was pretty painless. The only worry I've got now is that if anything serious befalls me in the future, there's nothing left to give up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only worry I've got now is that if anything serious befalls me in the future, there's nothing left to give up! It's a bit annoying how many soft drinks don't have decaffeinated versions; seems pretty clear they only have it in there for its addictive qualities, which can be quite scary when you read into it. I've come off caffeine before and had horrible headaches for weeks, but I'm used to that for other reasons. All my favourite drinks are caffeinated, unfortunately, and it's nice to have something enjoyable in life. Also, your bladder can become allergic to caffeine, which can result in you regularly pissing yourself. A nice wee excuse for the older members of the board 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living near the Roman town of Calcaria*, you can imagine the state of the inside of my kettle (and dishwasher, washing machine, etc,) without human intervention - the man could be bunging all sorts into the supply in addition and we'd never know. Might explain December's election result... *Tadcaster, and we're not that near. It's home to three massive breweries, mind, and apparently they were set up to take advantage of the crunchy water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Honest Saints Fan Posted February 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2020 I had a 3-monthly clinic appointment today which has been worrying me all weekend. Any ache I get in my back or ribs I worry the bones are broken again and the Myeloma back. Anyway my cancer is measured in Free Light Chains. There is Kappa and Lambada. What you are looking for is a good ratio between the two. "Normal" is between 0.26 and 1.25 and mine is 0.49! Worrying for nothing! 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true that once you become an expert in your own situation, you'll start reading a lot more into unrelated, often minor complaints. I'd just trained myself out of that (five years post-ChemoRad treatment)when I had a CVA last year, now I'm back to square one. Additionally for me, a lot of the things I notice are simply the signs of an ageing body. Hope you continue to improve, and enjoy life - it's too short to spend trying to work out what's wrong - there's a lot more that is right! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
