reb Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Windows 11 seems to largely involve pointless moving of things and making it all a bit softer. I'll be avoiding using it for as long as I can. I stayed on XP until quite a while after 7 came out and stayed on that until I started working somewhere that used 8.1. I held out on moving to 10 too because it disagreed with something on my system, though that seems to be fixed now. I've only just got used to 10 so I'm not ready to let it go yet!

Tamworthbay Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 2021 the year that keeps on giving, my Mum broke her hip three days after getting out of hospital, emergency 7 hour op and she has a new hip but will be ages before she is out of hospital again. At this rate I will have a personal parking space at the Derby Royal. Thankfully she still keeps her spirits up somehow.

Jerzy Woking Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Sun has done for the plastic fixing that attaches the hoover hose to the swimming pool suction outlet. Been to at least a dozen pool shops, and no one has them. One shop assistant told me that he hadn't seen one this size for about 10 years. Bollocks!

Stanky Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 A couple of weeks of agonizing pain after eating, turned up to 11 in the evenings, with vomiting what I suspect was blood after even a drop of alcohol and I've been diagnosed with a stomach ulcer. The docs were really good, I explained over the phone what was going on and wasn't actually that surprised when they said it sounded like a textbook case. They prescribed Omeprazole and I picked it up the next day. Its calmed the extreme pain in my stomach down but given me headaches (which should pass in 7-10 days) and permanent nausea. They've said I'm not allowed any booze for a month. A MONTH! So I'm eating occasional, tiny meals, stone cold sober, with what feels like a permanent hangover. I have a review in 4 weeks when they'll see if I need a camera down the gullet which I'm really, really hoping is not going to be required.

I have a review in 4 weeks when they'll see if I need a camera down the gullet which I'm really, really hoping is not going to be required. They have recently started giving me Omeprazole. Omeprazole forms a protective lining in the stomach, and reduces the amount of acid the stomach makes. It's a widely used treatment for indigestion and heartburn and acid reflux. It's also taken to prevent and treat stomach ulcers. I was told to take one 30 minutes before taking my pain killer, Naproxen. Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug, and can irritate the stomach lining so that an ulcer (a small erosion) forms, although I personally have never had any problems in the years I have been using Naproxen. I take Naproxen for a frozen shoulder, an old injury that can be painful, but I only take it when the pain comes on, not regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 A mate of mine has terrible problems with acid when he eats rich food + beer, so he's on (what I assume is) Omeprazole. Long term use of it apparently can cause depression, so he's ended up on Sertraline for that. Which has killed his libido so as a patch for that he's also been prescribed Viagra. I suggested he perhaps changed his diet with a view of tapering off these various medications, but because he's a depressed, one of the only things he really looks forward to is a nice curry and a few pints. Fucking complex thing, the human body/brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozeydustman Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Back in Chichester 🤬 Need to isolate for 10 days. Not a problem I knew I’d have to and from Thursday the new rounds project I was working on will be completed from home. Flight back was delayed as someone was ‘taken ill’ on the plane and needed a deeper clean than normal. Brother’s 2y/o was a pest throughout the whole flight. 4y/o just wanted to sit with her ‘uncle dustbin’ and play a peppa pig game on her tablet, and the baby slept which was nice. 2y/o is a complete sod and neither my brother nor his mrs can control him (no form of punishment works!) 21 people on the flight. 7 of which was made up of members of my family and the only people in the scumbag section of the plane. Not allowed to move seats to stretch out. One of the elastics on my mask snapped while taxiing around Málaga airport. as often happens when you have a large head but are forced to wear masks for a standard sized face. Within 5 seconds whilst rummaging through my rucksack for a new mask 3 of the cabin crew had descended on me not to go through my bag and to put my mask on. A snapped strap was apparently not a valid enough reason to get a new mask out of my bag. I would have expected better than that from BA - it was a bit overkill and they could easily see I was opening the sealed new mask in my hand. Plane was an Airbus. Airbus planes are absolute shit. Their seats are uncomfortable and their safety belts are fine if you have a 12” waist (irrespective of airline, I have found Boeings have more generous safety belts and seat widths) Flight was rough. I still feel turbulent this morning. And our pre-ordered meal wasn’t provided. Again I’d have expected better than this from BA. landed at heathrow over half an hour late and the gangway between aircraft and terminal was broken. Waited 20 mins for a new parking spot and the plane was low on juice so had to be towed. Only available gangway was at gate A and was a 25 minute walk to border control & baggage reclaim. With heavy hand luggage and by now 3 sleeping kids between 4 adults so I was loaded up like a pack mule with a rucksack on my chest, another on my back, my cabin bag and the wife’s For the third trip abroad in 5 years my biometric passport didn’t work again and had to go to speak to a grumpy man. It hasn’t worked since I got it in 2016 when I went on honeymoon. Brother’s family’s luggage didn’t get loaded at Málaga airport. Including their pushchair. It’s still in Spain. Didn’t find this out until we got to baggage reclaim. So we still had to carry 3 sleeping children and donkey haul 7 lots of hand luggage between 7 of us. Above delays meant we all missed our paid-to parking times and had a row with someone who said it wasn’t his problem and had to cough up and extra £5 or so to get out. I hope I can claim this back. Got home and stepdaughter had a party the previous evening. She didn’t tidy up and let 2 of her friends sleep in the marital bed. So we had to change the bedding because no idea what went on in there. (Told her if she had a friend round but not her shagpiece she could sleep in our bed on her own). Woken up by someone working on behalf of the government. At half 7 wanting to verify my passenger locator form details. The cat is an arsehole and has harassed the wife constantly since we got in including all last night so the wife is in a foul mood, not helped where she’s picked up a sinus infection. Can I go back to Spain please? Saabnut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twosmoke300 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 As I found out recently - holidays just aren’t worth the stress . My brother always says you should make a life that you don’t need a holiday from . Not managed that myself yet tho Jerzy Woking, The Moog, bobdisk and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
