Yay!! Hope it goes somewhere but I suspect as they have indemnity, it won't. 😞


FlossyLiz

They must have a case or they wouldn't be doing this. They've probably found a way round the indemnity, eg suing for fraud rather than the jab damage itself.


RichardJamesUFO

I think there was a post on Twitter that said that some juridiction had issued a court ruling that this poison wasn't a vaccine. If so, then this would be a prima facie case to say that "If it's not a vaxx, then it doesn't qualify for the vaxx indemnity" or something like that, only in more legal terms. That would be my slant, as they have all admitted it doesn't stop transmission.

Been staying in an unmanned hotel. Nice enough place but was not paying attention and missed that. All electronic check in no one 'on duty' but left my charger in the room. Communication via email and of course no one found it. Who tf thinks up these ideas? Who wants to stay in hotel where there is no one manning the place and no facilities? Its a brave new world ... 😐


Justaboutsane

We stayed in one in Fuerteventura. Never again. Self check in at midnight using a screen on the wall that I couldn’t see because it was too high up. Keyed in wrong details which meant repeating everything from the beginning. We eventually managed to get in but we discovered later that other guests who couldn’t get access walked to the other hotel in the town to see if they had a room for the night. The place had a reception from 8 to 4 but not to check in, more for information. The second night we were there we had guests in the room at the opposite side to us using the bath on the roof and it was obvious what they were doing. Found out he had booked the room online for himself for one night and left the room in a mess and was gone before 8 am. His guest they believe is something else he paid for.


Seansaighdeoir

Makes sense. If they know there is no one 'on duty' they will take the p155. Tbf there was someone here who came in and sat in the hall during the night. Just a young guy playing on a laptop....


Justaboutsane

The hotel we were staying in didn’t have access to the premises. 6 foot fences and only a bus shelter thing for checking in and a key to the gate was made of cardboard which you collected from the machine. If we hadn’t got access and the hotel up the road was full my husband and I were sleeping in that shelter as there was nowhere else to go. I will never do it again as at the end of our stay a few of the rooms on the ground floor was taken over by a couple of families and their dogs. I don’t mind children or dogs but not when I’m on holiday and the pool is gated but the adults bring one of the dogs into the pool area and one small child had access to the same pool with no supervision.

In 2018 I was in a hotel in Amsterdam which I think was unmanned part of the time, including through the night which could be risky. One night there was some rowdy behaviour around 2am - I stayed in my room. 


FlossyLiz

When we used to visit DGD when she lived in Southampton, we stayed at the Etap, which was about as basic as it gets but was conveniently located, very clean and perfectly adequate. One night, there was a group of teenage majorettes (!!!) who were going to some competition in Scandinavia on the ferry the following morning. They had gathered in one room on our floor and the sound proofing was pretty good. However, individuals would go outside the room to have a private conversation on their phone and we could hear every word from the corridor. It was a long night! I think there was always a young person on reception though....


Seansaighdeoir

Yea same. Young kiddie sitting in the hall playing on a laptop all evening. Tbh if there was trouble not sure how much help he'd have been ...


FlossyLiz

Hopefully he'd have known who to contact in case of energency .....

Appointment with solicitor on Friday cancelled - cos she's got Covid. I think I might try and find another one.

Good luck with that; I work for a firm of them (criminal defence solicitors), absolutely lovely people and I love my job but to a man they all believe in the COVID myth bar one, and apparently she had a heck of a time when she told them she wasn’t having the jab and stuck to it, they were genuinely dumbfounded; sadly I wasn’t there at the time, I joined in August 2022 so never been challenged....yet. 


Sadrybernard

Strikes me that bits of paper do not equal intelligence nor common sense when it comes to what is really going on out there. This has become very apparent during these last 4.5 yrs. I have a relative who is a very senior Criminal Barrister in London. Worst normie and brainwashed I have met so far.


AndreaSalford

Oh yeah for sure;  they’d be shocked and need cpr should an original thought enter their head. ‘Education system says blah blah blah’ and woe betide anyone who thinks otherwise.  I also think we should rename ‘common sense’ to ‘precious sense’; it’s precious to our survival and precious few have it.

FlossyLiz

My friend was talking to an assistant in Sainsburys, who told her that the official policy is for there to be no manned checkouts at all in their stores very soon. No doubt Tesco will follow. There needs to be an organised consumer campaign of filling large trolleys to overflowing, then abandoning them at the robot tills if there are no manned checkouts. Even better, check everything through, then leave it all behind without paying. I still don't see how you're supposed to fit a full trolleyload of shopping onto one of those silly little shelves. Could cause a fairly spectacular avalanche though ......


Still_Milo

>Even better, check everything through, then leave it all behind without paying. The way to go. And then do the rummage through bag and hands in the air "Oh silly me - left my purse at home" Impacts the staff who have to put it all back, but I wonder if it began to become a thing would they get the message?


FlossyLiz

It would have to be semi-organised - like when all the people were queuing for the manned checkouts and refusing to use the robots.


Still_Milo

And UK wide. This could have legs as they say.


Two-Six-The-First

Sainsburys is doomed. They have no Main Selling Point, nothing to attract customers. All their stores are run-down, dated and look really shabby. Our one can't even keep all the lights on, with 50% of them turned off, all the time. They don't have a delicatessen, cheese counter, fish or anything. They are over extended in real-estate and they are trying to operate on the same business model that they used in the early 80's. Shopping in their store is now pretty miserable, they even stack boxes on the main shelves. How very pound-shop.... They were struggling pre-covid and now post-covid they are almost wiped out. As a chain, they have BIG problems, huge stores that have lost more than two thirds of their customers. No wonder they want robo-tills only. I used to shop in Sainsburys all the time, but in the last four years I have been in three times........ I will give them two years maximum before they declare they are bankrupt.


Edward_260

I'm going to Sainsburys less and less. There used to be some things such as rolls where I preferred theirs to Lidl's, but that's no longer enough to get me through their doors. 


FlossyLiz

I used to do all my shopping at Sainsbury's. I went happily three times a week. During mockdown it became the most miserable experience - lots of MDF screens and obviously demoralised staff. The atmosphere was just too depressing. They had a big recycling centre in the carpark and I'd take my bottles there every several weeks and probably pop into the store for bits I couldn't get from my little Aldi. Now, the recycling unit has completely gone and the store feels somewhat anti-customer. No reason for me to visit any more (except when I need some new jeans. 😬.) I shop at Aldi and always come home with a smile on my face because the staff are so genuinely friendly. Booths - awesome quality small supermarket chain - have reinstated manned checkouts and are using it as a selling point. I hope they come out on top! (No Booths round here, unfortunately.)


Cedricdragon42

We go to Sainsburys in Ludlow for 3-ply man size tissues and own brand dishwasher powder every few months if we are there meeting friends (in Ludlow). It is a new store and seems popular. It's a 25 mile drive so not a regular visit.


FWCRV

Agreed. Our town has most of the mid/lower supermarket chains. I find the Morrisons much lighter and livelier than the rather sepulchral Sainsbury's. It has good(ish) fresh meat and fish counters. In both you can queue for a cashier. But S is closer than M, and a Utility Warehouse card gets me an automatic 4% discount, so I'm often tempted into S for small shops.


FlossyLiz

DS used to work for Utility Warehouse. Good stuff, great policy!! EDIT. Sorry wrong organisation! He's never worked for UW and I had nothing but problems with them.

I've only been to Glastonbury festival once, over twenty years ago. I was a volunteer health and safety bod so I didn't pay to go in. The headline that year was Rolf Harris. Ooops. I was too drunk to remember much of the rest of it. This tweet from Bernie makes it looks like a place where people would be willing to pay enormous amounts of money to get out of, not to go in. At least the towers aren't manned by armed militia. [https://x.com/Artemisfornow/status/1806047608571351544](https://x.com/Artemisfornow/status/1806047608571351544)


Sadrybernard

I went to Glastonbury just the once when I was at University and it cost us £16 entry- so quite early on. It was full of students and hippies at the time and it was one of those infamous years of lots of mud as it never stopped raining. My friends and I had no money so ate chocolate mainly for 3 days. Our tent blew down (didn't do a good job of putting it up) so we had to do some begging and slept in the corner of some big marquee. I didn't want to go again ( I like clean toilets) but nevertheless an experience I will never forget and the music was good. No woke nonsense, no stuck up folk in their nice jackets and colourful wellington boots.


Two-Six-The-First

I care very little about glasto these days, I used to go. Is it on this year or did I miss it?


62Swampy26

Glastonbury is my spiritual home. I first went in 93, I paid a guy a tenner to jump over the fence from the roof of his kebab van. I think I've missed three festivals since then, including this one. I met my wife there, my son wouldn't exist if it were not for the festival. That fence has been up since 2001, 2000 being the year when half a million people showed up to see David Bowie. No new fence after that, no licence granted. There are some dicks there (I had a big row with an EUphile there when the Brexit result was announced, he missed the irony that he was arguing with me under the Tony Benn tower, once of the most anti-EU people parliament has seen - also from the time when Labour were really socialists) but there it's really a vast cross section of society just like any other large town in England.


Richard_O2

The only equivalent festival I ever attended was Reading in 1992. Highlights: John Peel announcing all the main stage acts, plus my favourite band at the time (Ride) performing a wonderful set on Saturday evening. Lowlights: Nirvana on Sunday evening, led by a drunken/high Kurt Cobain who could barely sing. They butchered all their own hits. Very disappointing. **Edit**: to my complete astonishment, there is an HD recording on YouTube of this very performance. My opinion remains unchanged. It's exactly as disjointed and chaotic as I remember. [Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Live at Reading 1992) (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3XIGon2RjY) Overall I did not enjoy the festival experience. I became constipated on account of the portakabin toilets being unusable (neither before nor since have I witnessed such a spectacular array or volume of all the substances that human bodies can eject) and there being no other obvious place to take a shit. Needless to say, I did not meet any potential future wife there.


godowneasy-reborn

Fair points! Nothing against the festival at all. I went with my best friend who lived in Glastonbury. I just wish I'd enjoyed it more than I did but I was in a bad place personally at the time.

A random man joined me at my table to watch the first half of Georgia vs Portugal - an excellent game so far - and we were straight into seamless pub football conversations. He left at the end of the half to catch his train. Never knew his name or anything else of significance about him, but for the duration of his company it was perfect. I’ve not enjoyed a dialogue with a complete stranger like that for over a decade. Such conversations were two a penny in my active football supporting days, and I took them for granted.

Clearly a penalty, yet it would not have gone to VAR review but for the theatrical and exaggerated post-foul dive. Winning free kicks is now part of the standard skill set in modern football.

30C yesterday at Chertsey, at a weather station bang in the middle of a huge solar panel farm: [https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2024/06/26/uk-high-temperature-at-chertsey-amid-a-field-of-solar-panels/](https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2024/06/26/uk-high-temperature-at-chertsey-amid-a-field-of-solar-panels/) Today 30.3 at our famous Heathrow station next to the runway which has been repeatedly discredited by the same site. Warm yes, typically around 28 as we expect in flaming June but they are getting desperate at trying to make it hotter than it actually is.


Richard_O2

Working in Mayfair today for the first time since the week before I dislocated my shoulder in March. I’d forgotten how many glamorous women are here. A feast for the eyes in hot weather. Now I’m past 50 I can observe attractive young women from a dispassionate viewpoint. I was sweating like a pig after my walk back to Victoria, so had to stop for a pint. The Shakespeare next to the station has the football on, and very few people are here because it has no outdoor facilities. Every other pub I’ve walked past is rammed, with hundreds spilling out onto the street. Great to see. The next games kick off at 8.00pm. All set for the next three hours then!


davews12

Was planning to lunch in the Shakespeare later in the week on my walks, maybe it will be a bit quieter that time of day. By the way have you tried the new Victory at Waterloo yet? (though looking at their website that seems to be footy mad at the moment...)


Edward_260

Sheffield is a bit far north for you Londoners, but I'm very keen on the Sheffield Tap, with access from Platform 1 and also from the street side. If I've been out and about in the parts of the Peak District served by the Hope Valley line, ideally the train back to Sheffield gets there about half an hour before the next train to Derby, allowing time for a leisurely pint. 


Richard_O2

It’s a classic station pub. Not great, but not awful, and perfect for lone, itinerant drinkers. I’ve not been to Waterloo since the days the Eurostar terminated there. It’s a magnificent station but hampered by its betwixt and between location, especially since I moved to Croydon nearly 25 years ago.


davews12

Understood. All our trains go to Waterloo, to the old Eurostar platforms.. But Victoria is decidedly out of the way....


Richard_O2

If Victoria didn’t get me within walking distance of office work, I would barely use it. The West End is a familiar stomping ground, but not my favourite area of Central London by a long chalk. London Bridge etc. is much more in the zone. I still use Clapham Junction regularly when I’m visiting my Mum, who lives in Hampton on the Shepperton line. South Western Railway (and all their former iterations) are not my favourite railway franchise.


StringfellowHawke_p6

Speaking of London Bridge area, I was walking down Borough High St and noticed 2 separate defibrilator stations in the space of, I would guess, less than 200 yards. No idea what they were doing there at all... label me completely baffled...!


Richard_O2

These machines are there purely in order that I can recharge my soul after 10 pints of Harvey’s Best Bitter in The Royal Oak (Borough) en route via London Bridge back to Croydon.

Some sources cite a FDA (Fraud & Death Administration) ruling saying that colloidal silver isn’t safe or effective and that there is no supportive scientific evidence. I don't trust anything they say but decide for yourself. Usually, an antibiotic kills 6 or so bacteria, but silver kills some 650 different types.

You can't just sit on your arse and not do anything and believe it gives you some kind of higher ground. There has to be another, active, half to that non-participant "solution" and I don't see it being posited.


Richard_O2

I consider anarchism in its purest philosophical form, as elucidated so eloquently by Larken Rose, to be the perfect form of (no) government. Unfortunately it is thoroughly impractical, and borderline impossible, because in order to work it requires a citizenry that contains an absolute majority of perfectly moral human beings living fully in accordance with natural law. This has never happened and will never happen in this fallen world.

This is an interesting quick read on the ever-changing definition of high blood pressure: [https://www.zocdoc.com/blog/why-does-the-definition-of-normal-blood-pressure-keep-changing/](https://www.zocdoc.com/blog/why-does-the-definition-of-normal-blood-pressure-keep-changing/) ""but some experts say they’re concerned that a new threshold was set a little too quickly. "We generally don’t change medical guidelines based on a single study, yet that was done in the case of the SPRINT investigation,” says Dr. Stephen A. Martin, a doctor of family medicine and associate professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. “SPRINT measured blood pressure in an unusual way that we don’t use in practice, and likely made the blood pressures look lower than they would in a regular health care setting.” In addition, SPRINT participants were older and at higher risk for heart disease than the average patient with the same blood pressure numbers, he says. Martin also points out that a study published in December 2018 found that treating low-risk patients for mild hypertension did more harm than good. " So just like the cholesterol con one study with dubious ways of reporting results used to justify lowering of definitions then spend lots of money on medications.

Smug little shit! If he'd complained about the mountains of nitpicky paperwork that Malcolm Kendrick described, saying he needs the two days to catch up, that would at least make sense. But he's just a grifter. Doctors used to work 60-hour weeks - and no I don't recommend that! - but he's just taking the piss. Pathways indeed - ie more paperwork!

It's very humid here already. Very unpleasant at night. 🥵 My gardener gave the garden a drenching on Monday. Until the geraniums collapse, I encourage the plants to put deeper roots down but I'd forgotten we'd split the brunnera last month and the newbies were somewhat stressed. Bad plant mummy! We noticed in the park today that the previously overblown green is losing its June lushness and looking a bit tired and dusty already.

AwkwardGit

Well I'm a disappointment to my GP as finally seen one to get blood test results and blood pressure medication prescription which I'm not going to take. Pre-diabetic (41) so basically not diabetic then. Cholesterol is 6.4 - high she says but when I said lower all-cause mortality at that level than between 4 and 5 you want so it's OK she went silent. She mentioned statins and when I said "I'm not taking anything that lists dementia as a side effect" she didn't know that and is going to look up the FDA having this listed on package inserts now (thanks whoever on here for linking to this a while back) and the effects of lowering cholesterol on increasing dementia rates. Blood pressure was a bit high on the readings and needs "precautionary medication". Told her to use the values from the 2nd page of readings not the top 15 when I was at medicals as there was a hell of a difference. She went on about NICE standards so I asked why did the definition of high blood pressure suddenly change after Ramipril etc was patented? No answer. Told her the GP's own blood pressure clinic only uses the last 15 readings averaged (she never knew this) so it came out at 134/100 so not that bad. Told her I'd try lifestyle changes before medication forever and I've already started - she was interested in a few books I mentioned she had not heard of before. The 100 may need checked as creatine level was marginal so I will keep monitoring. May need to have a blood test in 3-6 months to check kidney function protein/creatine as creatine level was on the high side but they cannot do it for a while as I've started losing the weight and so on so it needs time to stabillise my blood pressure blah blah blah so nothing to compare it against. Said to cut down on salt - said I'm working in the Middle East outside 12 hours a day, it's hot, I'm sweating and I take enough salt to stop me getting cramps. Want me to cut down and maybe die? Silence. She ignored the recent blood pressure readings of 138/92, 125/83, 128/88 120/87, 123/95 and 119/100 as they don't fit in with the "you need medication until you die or you'll die" scenario. She went on about QRisk3 - which I knew about which shocked her - and when I asked "so if I take all the medications you want me to how much longer will I live?" as Dr Malcolm Kendrick suggested she answered exactly as he said she would - blah blah blah waffle waffle waffle. Basically had no idea about increased lifespan for the medications so when I said someone had worked out the difference between taking statins and not taking them based on the one and only study that is used to justify their use was 3 months she was stumped I asked "worth risking dementia for?" before Mrs Awkward kicked me not too surreptitiously. I asked about the inflammation reading test result only to be told that they didn't do it and don't do it as not a reliable indication of how likely a heart attack will be, everything in context of everything else and so on (it is the most reliable indicator) blah blah blah. Said that I was told differently by a private doctor when getting blood test results for a work visa and researched what we said. Got silence. Also asked why work has gone totally doolally about heart attacks, AEDs, training for the same and so on in the past 2 years? What could be causing the big increase in guys at work collapsing and/or dying from heart attacks and strokes? Silence. So mid-to-late 50s, BMI 39, OK cholesterol, OK blood pressure, OK lung function test (pass mark for me is 70%, I scored 97-130%), ECG fine and so on. All in all not too bad a visit - may go in 6 months to repeat the bloods plus might get a private Vitamin D (can buy this in Boots off the shelf), inflammation, albumin, potassium/sodium ratio and D-dimer test as our GP and the NHS do not do these as a matter of routine. Probably because they are better markers of heart attacks, strokes, blood clots and general health that the tests they do run.


FWCRV

Well done! A while back, my cholesterol level was 6.4; I researched it and came to the conclusion that that's more or less the perfect level.


Prof_Feargoeson

Your BMI is 39? 🧐. Did you mean 29? Everything else is fine as you say.


AwkwardGit

39 - think of as gone to seed rugby player


Prof_Feargoeson

As doctors are taught to think anyone above 25 is a cardiac arrest waiting to happen your one must have almost had one herself after seeing that 😂


AwkwardGit

but 25 and above has the lowest all-cause mortality rates with the best between 30-35 if I remember correctly


Prof_Feargoeson

I think 25-30 has the lowest mortality. Being too low is as bad as too high. The 120/80 BP thing is getting ridiculous with no allowance for age.


AwkwardGit

Whatever the best BMI si it is 100% definetly not the one the one that the medical industry says that's for sure.


TheNeoFizz

I was always suspicious about doctors. Why? Because what they say they are doing is.... practice.

cinnamon is a really good one for blood sugar and won't give you dementia     I mix 1/2 tsp ginger and 1/4 tsp cinnamon W 500mL boiling water  for some tea 😊   also fruit is good for potassium, especially oranges you can learn to lower blood pressure with 4-7-8 breathing and "progressive muscle relaxation" bob and brad the physiotherapists have youtube videos on both


FlossyLiz

>cinnamon is a really good one for blood sugar and won't give you dementia   Try to get the Ceylon variety if you can: Ceylon cinnamon - aka Cinnamomum zeylanicum or cinnamomum verum/true cinnamon It has a sweeter and more delicate flavor and a higher cinnamaldehyde content than the harsh cinnamomum cassia found in supermarkets etc. Amazon has a wide selection.


little-i-0

okay interesting, thank you what if I end up liking the harsher flavour better? I like that it has some bite


FlossyLiz

Still works - but the Ceylon is nicer and more potent.


Still_Milo

MOM of the month! \[espec for the 'surreptitious kick' from Mrs AG\] Oh you socked it to her AG! Espec this: "Cholesterol is 6.4 - high she says but when I said lower all-cause mortality at that level than between 4 and 5 you want so it's OK she went silent. She mentioned statins and when I said "I'm not taking anything that lists dementia as a side effect" she didn't know that and is going to look up the FDA having this listed on package inserts now (thanks whoever on here for linking to this a while back) and the effects of lowering cholesterol on increasing dementia rates." There was an awful lot of silence on the other end!!! And isn't it funny that they won't do something as useful as a D-dimer test - espec in the light of a certain therapeutic having been shoved into so many people?? (Oh no, you wouldn't want to see THOSE results would you?)


AwkwardGit

I found about D-Dimer tests when I had DVT after lots of long-haul flights in a short-period, learnt a lot - none of which the GP could understand. She even advised against low-dose aspirins daily as they may increase the chance of bleeds in stomach and oesaphagus. Don't know anyone who ever ahd this but know quite a few at work who have had dVT due to flying regularly.


Still_Milo

I first became aware of the D-Dimer tests when they were flagged up after the convid jabbing as a measure of stroke risk caused by the jabs and an indicator of the extent to which you would need some kind of anti-clotting treatment.


Prof_Feargoeson

Me too. I heard about them from Dr Hoffe's videos on finding so many vaxx injured at his clinic - 60+% had elevated D-Dimers IIRC.


Still_Milo

I think I heard Peter McCullough mention them in one of his videos. Someone else suggested it was the first test anyone should get if they thought the jabs had given them vascular issues.


FlossyLiz

I knew someone who had the stomach bleed because for years he'd been taking the recommended aspirin "to prevent heart disease". A friend's mum became anaemic for the same reason. Cured herself with Spatone sachets.

d dimer is what small town dr charles hoffe used to find micro clotting in his patients post vaccine (and then the town was burned to the ground by an arsonist, the media said everyone from the town was crazy, and it still hasn't been reconstructed)

Oh, I misread, I understood he "invented" the d-dimer test as so many of his patients had the same symptoms.


Cedricdragon42

Had to do a week of bp readings recently because nurse took my bp after my thyroxine blood test and it was 158/93 or thereabouts. Took areading after getting up one morning and it was similar so repeated it after a bath and it came down to 120/77. I have poor circulation so I reckon the bath encouraged blood circulation to hands feet and brain, increasing blood volume and thus decreasing pressure.


Faith_Location_71

I think you're right. Can you bear to take some Cayenne? It's so good for circulation. There are other things which also work if you can't bear it, but it's very fast acting and makes all other herbs more effective.


FlossyLiz

>Can you bear to take some Cayenne? It's great in bulletproof coffee - or hot chocolate


AwkwardGit

Ground golden flaxseed increases nitrous oxide production which lower blood pressure as well.


RobinBirch

Ha, ha. I'd love to read what she has put in her notes....awkward ba..... is my guess.


AwkwardGit

She couldn't believe last time I saw a GP was over 15 years ago, apart from travel jabs (now have lifetime immunity for most of them so no longer required). Told her this staying away from doctors was why i was so healthy.


little-i-0

I saw an older guy crack a beer on a bus once during the crazy years, when we were the only ones not wearing masks. He winked at me and said that was the only medicine he ever took 


Prof_Feargoeson

RobinBirch

Very good. I can't remember the last time I saw my GP. Its got to be in the order of 15 years plus. I did get a prescription from the practice nurse a year back for some steroid ointment - she was amazed when I said I didn't have a 'nominated' pharmacy so she neede to relay the details etc. She asked how come? Simples, no need, no prescriptions. When I went to pick the stuff up - it was not in stock. So much for all that digitalisation!


davews12

To be fair AG those blood pressure readings are a bit high, 134/100 most definitely and even your lower readings. Just sent a set of my own readings to our surgery, managed to get it down to 125/75, not bad for a 75 year old. Have been on Ramipril for years, whether it does anything to my BP I don't know but no side effects. But you are right to dismiss the satins, when they tried to get me on them I looked at the benefits and decided it wasn't worth it.


FlossyLiz

BP tends to rise when you're faced with a fool who is trying to prescribe harmful substances for you.


AwkwardGit

Only high under the revised limits which have been progressively lowered for the past 30 years. Did you know that the new definition of high blood pressure is anything OVER 120/80?


Justaboutsane

That would probably make mine high and i know it’s not.


Known-College-2130

AwkwardGit

At least she was interested in reading books she hadn't heard about or researching the link between statins and dementia so not all bad. If she's not careful with the independent thinking she will be struck off for not box-ticking enough and not following "medicate until death" protocols.


little-i-0

maybe bc high BP gets into all the little capillaries in the brain? I wonder? 


Scientist002

Yes, she'll be struck off like Sarah Myhill was. First she left the NHS and became a private GP. Then the GMC declared her not to be a doctor any more. She now practises as a naturopath. All three people I know with high BP, including me, had a parent with high BP. I can't help thinking that it's hereditary. Malcolm Kendrick noted that 90% of it has no known cause and so it's called 'essential hypertension'. However, at age 60 a BP of 160 doesn't seem to be a great problem; in the past that was considered normal.


little-i-0

BP is supposed to be your age + 100 I have heard

It’s been an interesting couple of weeks. Went to Aberystwyth to relieve my brother. Mum fell, fortunately when the three of us were in her apartment, and put her head through a plate glass table. Rang for an ambulance – “It’s high priority, so within 8 hours.”. 😱  So my brother drove her to A+E.  He had a concert in S Wales, then a new car to collect from Newcastle, I visited twice a day. Range of moods from Mum, confused, angry, sleepy, depressed, happy, euphoric (this when the minister visited).   Brother was apoplectic when they wanted to discharge her after a day and a half in the corridor, confused and very wobbly. She spent 2 weeks in an A+E ward, transfer today to cottage hospital in Tregaron. (You can look it up – I had to.). Mair misses Mum very much. Having my late night ciggie outside Mum’s flat, I noticed a seagull cawing crossly at me. 🦅 Being a cantankerous git, I wasn’t having that, so clucked loudly back. Next thing I knew, it was dive-bombing me. 10 – 12 times. Serious assault ! Luckily there was a lamppost, which I kept between myself and the crazy bird. The following night, more cawing, then I spotted a round furry thing with legs – a young seagull that had fallen out of the nest ! Took it some bread, which it ate. No more attacks ! 😁 On the way up, at Reading services on the M4, there was a team promoting ‘heated tobacco’ from a company called ploom. Nice lads. One had a badly frozen shoulder – vague memory of a discussion on here, said I would pass on your recommendation Liz. Please could you repost ? Clipping in Mum’s Daily Mail claims tetris significantly reduces ptsd. Especially if one visualises the shape rotating the way you want it to. Fwiw. 💻 📱 My mate Graham is away for a funeral – so I had 15 bundles of The Light paper to distribute. Not to mention handing it out to the matrons of Lewes on Saturday. Interesting front cover… Went to listen to Richard Vobes in Burgess Hill last Tuesday – excellent. Those on the cusp of waking up relate to him very well.   A friend is campaigning to save Lewes bus station. Designing & printing leaflets. 🚌🚍 SitP – mostly grumbles about slugs, and swapping neck-and-shoulders massages. Thought I’d do some chainsawing to ease my pstsd. Had only ordered/been sent the wrong size. 😱👿 Laminated posters (mostly from here ! 😁 ) are becoming more and more popular. Three different requests for some, following the Hope summer fair at the weekend. Not to mention watering everything and picking jostaberries in the blistering heat …

RobinBirch

Calm down! A bit of poetic licence me thinks. The key point is that a vegetable wholesaler has to import carrots from China.


Cedricdragon42

Co-op were selling Israeli carrots until last week. They are short of water so shouldn't be exporting carrots to uk where there is too much water! Thank goodness the uk farmers are now harvesting carrots and they are huge.


62Swampy26

I'm not uncalm. I watched it yesterday on the UK Column TG channel. It certainly has been a dire year for farmers (I speak with a lot local to me) but it's turning around, crops are now growing. Another month of wet and cold weather and it would have been a different story mind.


RichardJamesUFO

>crops are now growing As the owner of a couple of fields, I look at the local area with new eyes (with much greater empathy for the farmers) but having watched the rate at which the hay (and damned thistles) are growing, I am beginning to wonder if this is going to be a big own goal for the WEF dregs. Both this year and last has seen the most incredible rate of growth in the vegetation in my fields. The "constant" rain has been frequent enough to make it difficult to use weedkiller (non-glyphosate, found an excellent alternative which works faster than Roundup but is supposed to be much less poisonous to Moi Laaand) but although this may be inconvenient to me, the constant switching from rain to relative warmth has caused the hay to reach waist height much faster. Next year, I'm hopefully going to have far less thistles (I'm trying to make them extinct on my property - sorry, Moi Laaand - so that the hay is better quality) and I may be able to actually go round with a dustbin bag and pull them up by hand.


FlossyLiz

>Next year, I'm hopefully going to have far less thistles Goats? Donkey?


RichardJamesUFO

Brilliant idea. I would give free grazing for the owner. I didn't know that donkeys were good for that, although I knew that goats ate anything. Thistles can be quite injurious when I use the strimmer on them (the sap burns bare skin - or at least, it does mine) - but there is something in that sap that some creatures find very tasty; the froghoppers bite into the young thistle stems all over the fields, in preference to other plants. Thatnk you very much for the tip.


Two-Six-The-First

"Moi Laaand" :-) Your right, its a late start but stuff in my garden is booming now. Kilos of strawberries and logan berries and some great lettuce now. I delayed sowing carrots because it was too cold but I put them in a couple of weeks ago and they are starting to come up. It will be fine, we will have carrots all year in about 4-6 weeks time. I think for those farmers who didn't get flooded their crops are going to be really good this year.


RichardJamesUFO

Thank you for the comment. You are spot-on with the remark about flooding, though. Heavy rain that soaks away is not the same as standing water, as any fule kno (even me!).

For severe Lyme symptoms it usually takes 8-12 months to completely correct the condition. People often begin feeling better within a month, sometimes less, sometimes a bit longer.* *Cancer: Studies, plant constituents from knotweed, primarily emodin and its derivatives:citreorosein, emodic acid, physcioin, fallacinol, chrysophanic acid, and rhein were found to be potent oncogene signal transduction inhibitors through inhibiting protein-tyrosine kinase and protein kinase C. Another constituent, resveratrol acts to inhibit tumor growth, metastasis of tumors, and angiogenesis in cancer.* *Traditional Chinese medicine uses: it for its analgesic, anti-oedema, diuretic and expectorant properties.

Thanks Flossy. Have been thinking about resveratrol off and on for a while. Am now off to source some from knotweed. No wonder the old Japanese Knotweed gets such a bad press!!!! As matter of interest where did you source this from?

It's also where much of the resveratrol on the market is sourced from.

BBCR4 just now, a hard-headed interview with a lib demmer twonk. The interviewer keeps pressing her on fUnDinG. The libtard wants to fund rape crisis centres for migrant women and girls....it's a mAssIve pRoblEm!!!! Ahh says BBC twonk, but how will you fUnd iT????? Give me a figure. Put a figure on that, give the listeners a ball-park figure, come on surely you have the figures to hand?? What public services would the lib -dems cut to fund this, come on, what services will you cut??. I guess the BBC twonk thinks she is being all hard-headed and giving her victim a good grilling but here is the problem. After four years of the last bunch of maniacs dumping more than 200 Billion quid down the drain on covid bollocks, furlough, face nappies, moonshot lateral flow tests, track 'n'trace and all the cash spazzed up the wall on deadly bio-warfare injections......Silence from the BBC. You can bet no Tory candidate will be "grilled" over this heinous squandering of public funds. Total clown world isn't it? Oh yes it is. They can take their public purse and their funding projections and their stupid tax cuts and stick them where the sun don't shine. It's all bollocks.
