Your girlfriend is a superb owl?

My girlfriend is a Mensamillionaire.

Exactly. Remarkable stuff tbh, total dissociation from the physical = perfect painkiller. Some previous experience in related areas will assist with this process not becoming terrifying.

No. Should I sniff your finger?

I am pursuing this possibility.

Only used it twice, purely for medicinal purposes.

I was T-boned 12 years ago by some complete moron from Penshaw, a genuine mouth breather. He drove through a STOP sign straight into my passenger side at 30 mph. Had there been anyone in the passenger seat they would have been killed. My car was written off, my lateral whiplash has been challenging and it is getting worse as I get older. I am always in some pain and discomfort, mostly I can function however I manage my lifestyle very carefully to avoid episodes as the merest thing can set it off. When I say manage my lifestyle I have given up most things which involve extending the neck, scuba diving being the most notable (I was an instructor). 18 months ago I swatted a fly with a teatowel and ended up on my back in bed for 3 days. A few weeks ago I slipped on my front step and put it out, and of course each time it's worse than previously. During these episodes the pain goes up to an 8 or 9 and I struggle to do anything, on or off medication. This is the shite side of self employment. I go back around the diagnosis loop every 2 or 3 years but this time I am going private as the NHS seems geared toward treating the symptom not the cause. My GP prescribes me with Tramadol, Valium and Codeine to manage the pain. The Tramadol doesn't touch the sides but I do find the valium helps. Codeine makes work and sleep impossible as well as playing havoc with your digestive system. Cannabis is good for the pain and I am going to ask my GP to refer to a pain clinic as they can prescribe Sativex (cannabinoid medicine). I alternate between ice and heat patches, I also use anti inflammatories although I am never sure if they work tbh. Hot baths can be useful, or generally getting into water (if able). You tend to get into a mindset of throwing whatever you can at it to make the pain go away for a while. Booze can help. The best painkiller by a country mile, for me anyway, is ketamine but that has some unfortunate side effects including losing the ability to properly manage your posture which is really critical at all times if you suffer back pain. When you are in tremendous pain, the laws of the land can go and fuck themselves. I just got the results of my MRI and so for completeness to my little moan here it is; At C5-6 there is a prominent left posterolateral disc bulge causing mild to moderate left C6 foraminal narrowing. This encroaches and impinges on the exiting left C6 nerve root. Some thecal flattening is noted here. Basically they don't tend to get better with age so I would pursue every course of action for treatment of the condition/cause when you are young - or rather - as soon as possible. Good luck Tooj, ROPH and Gloomy.

I'm thinking a joint bank account could be a good strategy to avoid marriage for another few years. I might propose it tonight.

Invest in stamps, this is a disastrous.

Agreed, they've got enough on their plates.

Good to go into administration every now and then too.

Not on Atari Lynx either ffs.

He's just a black Michael Owen.

Looks fucking class.

Fuck all chance he's coming here.

Careful now, we'll have that massive Thatcher freak back on here.

Asda, isn't it?

Brock had a full beard at 14 iirc.

This is the droppings from a hard shelled reptile.

If we're shit this year I wonder what excuse he will use. The loss of Llambias? The arrival of Jokey?
