Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

[I, Cosh]

Got holes in my pants. Not the ones which are supposed to be there unfortunately.

[The Legendary Shark]

Thank Grud for the warm weather.

[Tiplodocus]

Got an upset stomach. Meant I got very little sleep.

I don't eat anything sentient. How can it disagree with me?

That's Vegism, man. Plants have feelings too*

Yes because only animal based food stuffs are bad for you!

[Professor Bear]

It doesn't disagree with you, that's just a turn of phrase used to denote that a foodstuff has caused your stomach to produce irregular amounts of acid.

Try a caffeine-free mint tea in such circumstances, but be aware late-night tummy rumbles can also be anxiety or stress.

Could be worse. A woman shat herself in the car park at work today.

doctor, doctor....

For stomach acid, to which I am a veritable martyr, I swear by bicarbonate of soda; a teaspoon full in a little water.

[Dandontdare]

me too, especially after drinking alcohol. Lots and lots of milk is the answer - nothing soothes that burning than a swig o' the white stuff. I find "fizzy" remedies like bicarb or Andrews (can you still get that?) just cause more burping/reflux; whilst calcium carbonate (settlers etc) do very little. If I know I'm going to be drinking wine or spirits, a tiny Pantoloc Control pill beforehand makes a massive difference - prevention rather than cure!

[The Legendary Shark]

I found milk made things worse for me. This is because, I later discovered, milk is rather difficult to digest (for me, at least).

[Dandontdare]

ah, that's unlucky. I love the stuff - when I'm rolling home after a boozy night out, I always pop into the 24 hour Spar for a 1 or 2 litre bottle as I know that'll get me through the early morning heartburn attack.

Got a one week customer site visit scheduled for next week - in Macclesfield. Is there actually anything to do in Macclesfield?

[Colin Zeal]

Go and see the Macc Lads?

To the east there is some spectacularly beautiful countryside (shame it's pissing down); or head 20 miles North to visit the Greatest City on Earth.
