Random Irritations

Such as???? Intrigued

Oh nothing exciting, just stuff like playing 36 holes every day for a week on holiday, or working all day in the garden then playing golf and then working on the mini. All things I could have done 10 years ago.

Now the hands and body says no way.
 
She's just signed us up to a double date with her friend and husband. He doesn't like any sport.

We'll just sit and talk about nothing then shall we.

Just start the conversation with, "Right, Brexit, Racism, Feminism, Immigration, Uber drivers in London and religion, pick your topic"
 
Nosebleed, just had my first ever one, just sitting down and it started flowing, a bit of a panic to be fair as it took an hour to stop.
I used to get a lot of these, ended up getting both sides of my nose cauterised. Apologies if this is patronising but I found if you get one that really doesn't stop then get material, an old tea towel for example, run it under cold water and then hold that against your nose. The cold seems to help. Keep wetting the material every so often and hold against the bleeding side of your nose for a good while before removing it. If it keeps bleeding then hold for longer. You need to be patient for a biggie but it will work in the end, better than simply pinching with your fingers.
 
Best is just pinching with fingers, and swallowing the over flow. Been to the docs with this, and this was his advise. I was having 40 minute nose bleeds, and can now stop them in seconds, as long as I catch the start.

You swallowed it, I was spitting out lumps of congealed blood,never experienced anything like it before.

Since changing my life style a bit, losing some weight, cutting back on the booze, getting a bit fitter, I have stopped having them. Came out of nowhere, and now gone. Blood pressure was high ish, now normal

If it's free, why do I need to register with my email address, a user name and password, and then enter the code on the screen to authorise everything. :mad:
 
In a week where Justin Edinburgh has passed at a young age, I've just had a call from my mum telling my cousin had massive heart attack yesterday morning, admitted to hospital where he was saved. Unfortunately whilst in care this morning he suffered a 2nd fatal one and nothing could be done, it's a cruel world sometimes.

Ended up in A and E, had to get my capillary veins burnt back together, nose is in bits, hopefully never again 😂

So sad. Unfortunately I see it a lot where I work to the point where we get them into ICU, they seem to be making progress and then for nowhere have a fatal cardiac arrest. Sometimes as you say it's a cruel world
