Random Irritations

[Orikoru]

That's soo bad for you. About 2 1/2 years ago during the summer I came across a collapsed Rob Key at my local train station, had to give him first aid and at first I thought he'd drunk too much alcohol, turns out he had been a lords all day and only drank 1 coffee all day. Then the train staff gave him a bottle of water and before I could say wait and just sip he puked his guts up!

Moral of this story is drink a minimum of 3 litres a day of water. It is so good for you.

As I said though, I struggle with it. I only drink when I'm thirsty and I rarely feel thirsty for some reason. I can go 3 hours without drinking anything let alone pure water.

One way you can do it easier is to drink a glass of water with every meal - to start.

I use Robinson's juice to make it taste nicer, that accounts for my one pint of water during the day anyway. In the evening I drink Pepsi Max Cherry because I love it so much. I mean there must be water in it. ?

A problem I have is that I perspire very heavily, therefore constantly dehydrating.
If you don't sweat much you probably don't need to drink as much.

If you’re drinking the No Added Sugar squashes then it’s basically water anyway. No issue there. Just try to avoid too many caffeinated drinks because long term use of caffeine is bad for your bladder.

I know all about those stents, lithotripsy, cystoscopies, nephrostomies and the like from my work and I know that I agree with Joey from Friends when he says nothing is going up the urethra. ?

I've been subject to several flexible cystoscopies, not recommended at all.

It's the Robinson's fruit & barley thing where you only put an inch of it in and the rest is water.

One 500ml can of sugar free Monster Ultra a day! I don't drink coffee or tea though.

I think other drinks that contain water are ok too, I don't drink a lot of plain water either, mostly tea and decaf coffee. The only water is a bottle in my golf bag

Monster is one of my vices but I try to stick to the sugar free stuff where possible. One every other day but I don’t drink any other caffeinated soft drinks so I give myself a pass. ?

Some of my favourite drinks are 60% water. Even more if you wait long enough for the ice to melt.

The media who seem hell bent on talking us out of the relaxations on 21st June, one suspects so as they can then cry out in disgust that the relaxations did not go ahead as planned.

I strongly advocate the use of decaf tea, it honestly tastes the same and is not a bladder irritant.

And when did other members of the press become a reliable source for a headline story. Just read a headline 'No new countries to be added to travel green list' article goes on to say 'according to The Sun' and that the government announcement is later. So, you can put up a definitive headline based on speculation published by another media outlet.

Sorry, seem to really have it in for the press at the moment.

Why apologise, it's not like they don't deserve it.

One of the sad things for me that has come out of the pandemic has been a personal total loss of faith in just about all media outlets. It seems that this has really exposed their true colours.

The press have links to inside number 10 and often stuff is leaked to guage reaction so amendments can be made to seem less unpopular than reports

On that theme the other common one is "xyz is expected to be announced later today" or similar.
How about when that actually happens, then report it as news...

Agreed and if you can report it as being from an inside source then that is understood but to put up a definitive headline then quote The Sun as your source is a step too far.
