Random Irritations

Thanks Kellfire.
No, it's a sign of impending kidney stones.
I'm drinking water, like it's going out of fashion, hoping to pass it/them naturally.
My previous one had to be physically removed under general anesthetic.
An 8mm stone trying to pass through a 5mm pipe ........................... and, if it had managed to do that, there was only one way out of the bladder!!!!
I don't EVER want to go through that again.

I share your pain (twice). They removed my gall bladder after the last one.

That's not helping me feel any better.

Not being silly. The best police officer might notnbe the one who knows the law the best. Which is why I asked the question?

My point about the best police woman was because you had written policeman. Unconscious bias maybe?

Give over. We’re both adults… no bias on my part, unless you’re looking for it. The argument goes way beyond the semantics you seem to enjoy.

Try standing up at a golf club AGM, as I did nearly 40 years ago, and arguing for equal access. Survive that wolf pack and then argue who’s right and who is wrong.

The Eagles concert at Wembley cancelled again & not rescheduled.

I saw Eagles at Wembley Arena a few years back.
You've had a lucky escape.

Whilst your point re knowing the law may be correct. Considering the first point that was raised about positive description. I’m confirmed that in my life I’ve never though that I really need a “insert race here” person to make things better for me.

In your clueless opinion.

The removal of the gall bladder and a change of diet* meant no more stones.

*Mainly avoidance of food high in fat such as pies and pastries.

I heard it was cancelled because Hotel California was fully booked for people self isolating.

The latest suggestion that Portugal is about to go into the amber list.....

Of course it's fully booked.
The business plan of letting people check in but never leave, means it must have been full years ago!

The Eagles have only been good once since Donovan McNabb left

Do you think this is how @chrisd feels about the eagles and wembley every year? Sorry Chris

Mandatory break after 9. What's that about?

Because of enforced tee times, which are 8 minutes apart, it was deemed a mandatory 10 minute stop at the half way (typo n my first post was 20 now amended) allows for groups to spread out a bit.

I’ve read about kidney stones a lot at work and I know it’s something I never want to experience. All the best! I’m going to go hydrate myself now just thinking about it.

Had one about 2 years ago, THE MOST painful experience ever. Hospital, morphine drip the works. Mine was relatively small at 4mm and passed it naturally after drinking a reservoir dry over two days, was fortunate as they were talking operating to remove it, which involves inserting a stent where no stent should ever be inserted, left in for a period of time and then going back to have it removed..... no thanks. Supposed to drink 3 litres of water a day now, no matter how I try, that's a hard task, closer to 2 for me, but that's still 2 more litres a day than I drank before I had the stone.

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 not seen that anywhere.

I know the WHO are now giving new variants a designation based on the Greek alphabet to try and move away from the possible stigma of having one named after the originators country.

Our good old Kent is the Alpha, Indian is Delta.

Man, I never drink any water at all. God knows how you're meant to get near the recommended levels. Even on a round of golf, or if I've played 90 minutes of football, I still probably have less than 1 litre. The metal flask I use is 750ml so normally I finish that and that's it. On a normal day when not doing anything I probably only drink just under a pint of water. ?

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.
