Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

[I, Cosh]

Couldn't find the key for my bike lock until lunchtime was nearly over.

[Grugz]

Now I just have to wait for my eyesight to come back...

that's something entirely different, your mother warned you it'd happen...dirty boy!

[Theblazeuk]

Torn rotator cuff. :/

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Goes my inner monologue all bloody day long for the past 2 weeks.

[von Boom]

Terrible news blaze. Hope you heal quickly.

[The Legendary Shark]

I don't know what that is but I hope you can heal it soon.

[Theblazeuk]

The bit(s) where your arm pops back into your body. Lots of muscles, nerves... most of the time much less than say an abcess but always, always, always there.

[The Legendary Shark]

Ouch. Fortunately, I've found a cheap cure for abscesses but I don't think garlic would help in your case   Maybe Scotch to dull the pain?

[Batman's Superior Cousin]

In pain, bowel problems!!!

[Grugz]

ibs or wind? if its the latter we have some gripe water you can borrow...if its the first you have my sympathies as I have yet to find a cure for that.

One step ahead. Thank you Duty Free.

Talking to me?

I think he is.

"Trapped wind" sounds like a minor niggle, but the first time I had it I was in agony. I'd recently read about twisted intestines in racehorses which is usually fatal, and I became convinced in the wee small hours of the night that this is what I had. After a few hours of pain when I was on the verge of calling an ambulance, I farted mightily and all was well.

IBS cramps aren't fun either.

[Theblazeuk]

I always find Rennies actually really work. Or Andrews Salts.....Short of that a bit of coffee....



(Update on my niggle, Doc says it's not torn after some examination, just some massive spasming going on in minor muscles... and lovely lovely codeine now available again.)

[Dandontdare]

when did youtube automatically start auto-playing one video after another? My home broadband is quite slow (and my PC clogged up with shit), so I often used to click on a vid then look at other things so that when I went back and hit 'replay' I could be confident it had fully loaded and wouldn't buffer half way through. Now I find it's been merrily playing video after video. Or I'd watch a vid and the leave the site open to look at something else, but again it just starts playing another vid straight away.

A minor impediment indeed, but pointless and annoying.

You can switch that off by clocking the little switch above the top video on the right hand side.
