CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

certainly not, oh go on then...

but no axes !

Oh gawd....go on then Keaydian......

Tell you mother I sympathise with her stockbunny. I had to have blood tests once every few days many years ago and my veins are very difficult to find. Where I was a bit bemused was when the nurse didn't even take enough blood for the testing and I had to go back again. I was allowed to eat before the tests ;0).

Spaceman, oh you want the yellow haired warrior, lol. I'll tell them to bring some red yeast which is a food colouring for chinese food. That helps to lower cholesterol the natural way.

Morning Bluey, I'm very well thank you. How about your beautiful self?

Bunny, I will have the porridge ready and waiting.

On the veins issue, I had a trainee anaesthetist trying to knock me out once. Good job she was stunningly good looking. In the end they had to gas me as they couldn't get the needle in. And then when it was time for the morphine injection in the stomach, Nurse Robinson had about 10 goes before telling me that it wasn't worth effort. So in short being fit and healthy is not all it's cracked up to being.

bunny, yes your right, I smoked 40-60 a day for about 5 years, but I havnt smoked since 1984 but it must still have done some long term damage, but how much? its impossible to know.

Re cholesterol, my doctor has lowered what she accepts as bordeline for the ratio (ldl/hdl) from 5.0 to 4.0. Mine was 5.2 for years but I didnt take anything for it, when the level was changed she suggested that I should go onto statins as they were proven to prolong life.

However with my current illness just surviving the next few days is all I can think about ;-)

Spacies a bit to big for the Inglenook so I suggest we start with his feet..........

Didn't try the mallet approach then?
;>)

Gawd - keaydian there's the axe go chop wood, has to be a better atlernative then him sizing poor spacie up for kebabing....

J Stratford, I was very well until I read Keaydian's last post. It was the timing which did it for me, well done Keaydian you caused me to split my sides with laughter. Perhaps I need some morphine for the resulting pain, lol. Sounds a delightful experience, not, ten times.......before they gave up.

Spaceman I have read that stress is more dangerous for the heart than perhaps high cholesterol,...........so relax and enjoy the neck massages the nurses will give you.

in the same way that all talk of lambs and sheep in relation to cooking or eating is banned in the coffee house so is any talk of cooking or eating me ;-)

Bluelady, the yellow haired warriors have not arrived yet, could you tell them mto hurry, after all it is an emergency.

Who invited Boris Johnson and look alikes then? ;>)

Thank you Bunny. I now have hot tea sprayed across my monitors!!!

Now what did you go do that for JS?
;>)

I have no idea. Could it possible be something to do with the thought of Uma Thurman turning into Boris Johnson as a yellow haired warrior. I mean can you imagine Boris as a general on a field of battle?

Sadly - yes I can JS LOL :>)

Spaceman, must be the sat nav system delaying them.

Stockbunny, good one, lol.

J Stratford, could be worse, it could have been one of your shares which caused that sort of reaction ;0)

stuffing dried dates and some homemade flapjacks - anyone want one?

Yuck

There's gratitude for you! Yes please Bunny, and I'll have K.'s share as well please :-)

Here you go JS - sorry about the wait got too engrossed reading Forsyth's Avenger and having a trot round the garden in the sun :>)))
