I always keep Gaviscon nearby. If symptoms didn't go in 15 mins, I'd be on the phone to the hozzy.

Then pop 300 mg aspirin too.

(As long as you haven't already, don't have an allergy, no liver or GI issues)

Should have said:

Aspirin 300 mg, ideally soluble tablets, and chewed not swallowed

It was subsiding by the time I got there and Docs did some tests and said it wasn't a heart attack

I felt very embarrassed about the whole thing and started to apologise but doc was having none of it. He said indigestion and heart attacks can initially give very similar symptoms and its right to go to A&E to be sure!

If it isn't indigestion you would be likely expired.

While I think of it, the sequence can often be:
Chest pain - heart attack - cardiac arrest

Guy I know is a first aid trainer in one of the emergency services.

In the morning he was training his mates.

In the afternoon he quickly went through the chest pain to CA. His mates used the CPR and defib he'd taught them to keep him going.

FWIW, starting CPR within 10 minutes of cardiac arrest improves survival and brain function. CPR within 2 minutes boosted survival by 81% and reduced brain damage by 95%. Even with a delay of up to 10 minutes, survival improved by 19%.

Last night I made myself some king prawn sandwiches in a home marie rose style sauce with sriracha to bring to work for lunch today. But I bastard well forgot them!

Rightly so, Porky

Halfords bike hut service kit toolbox.
Want to remove a cassette, no problems
Lower bracket and bearings, fine
Spoke tension, check
Pedals off, tyre levers, fit or shorten a chain, NEARLY everything you need to service a bike........except for a valve tool, which if course is where the tyre I'm fixing is leaking from.....PWATB!

What time is thursday?
Can we open the cat yet?
Is it thusday yet.....

I bought an MTB item from online retailer, used them a lot before.

It was reduced from £245 down to £137. However only in a specific sizing... but happily it was the one i wanted.

They then sent the wrong item in terms of sizing.

"send it back for a refund and order the new one" not my preferred way of doing it, but acceptable.

However all the items are now back at £245. So not a lot of use to me..

The Masked Singer.

Not the show as such, but the fact I don't understand how it works. And I don't actually care enough to actually watch it.

How does it work? I know celebs dress up and sing, but then what? How did they turn that into a popular hour long show?

I saw it once here once in a Spanish bar. It was Jorge Lorenzo.
Racers are household names here.

No one knows who the celebs are, the panel and the people at home get to guess who they are based on the voice alone (and some very very tenuous clues in short VT clips).

I don't love it, but I don't have the energy to hate it.

My wife works in a infants school and she says the kids all love the masked singer and don't seem to care that they dont know who the celeb is! So I guess its just good old fashioned, light hearted, family entertainment!

Yeah I get that bit but it's the competition bit I don't get. Do they all perform each week? Does the panel guess at the end or can they guess any time? I assume only one singer leaves each week, so do the panel only get one guess?

I seem to care more about the mechanics of The Masked Singer than I really should

I do so wish I wasn't such a clutz.

A parking guy asked me to reverse the sprinter a little so I said of course, turned to go back to it and forgot I'd got off the pavement and promptly took a proper flyer cos I tripped over it

My hand was not a happy hand -



Less red and angry now but still not happy (the index and pinky fingers already looked a bit FUBAR ) -



Looks quite blue in places Here's hoping it's not too bad in the morning - about to pop a load of meds to try and help me sleep (my left knee is a bit painful for just a graze and need to go to sleep like 'now'!!).

But seriously. How. The. Fuck?? I mean, I know - dyspraxia causes total lack of connection for mundane tasks, like walking No issues when I'm focussed - driving, skiing, motos etc.

But just walking around?? Regularly incapable - you'd have thought that I'd have sussed this out after over 50 years of falling over - without the aid of alcohol

It was that or Pride & Predudice and as much as I fancy Rosamund Pike, Suranne Jones and Maya Jama won me over!

Just picked one post at random re 'fuckwits'.

In the news today:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/202 ... ys-council

Gritting crews have been stopped in their tracks by “about 200 cars” double parked on a road along the Peak District.

Derbyshire county council said crews were prevented from gritting the roads on Saturday morning due to parking on both sides of road at Rushup Edge and Man Nick near Edale.

Just on a call to my sister and I mentioned that the property tax on the old mans house in Ireland must be due by now. Turns out it should have been paid last week, she has the bill but forgot to do anything with it. I now can't pay it online either, the old man's Irish tax number no longer works (not surprising really, he's been dead for almost a year) and my tax number doesn't work.
