So I was feeling a bit rough last week and chowing down on the Nurofen cold and Flu to get me through. Any way after a couple of days I started feeling really rough, shivering weak and looking very pale so I took myself round to the doctors where all hell broke loose. The Dr went uhoh anemia and then things got a bit more urgent when she couldn't locate a pulse and it took 10 minutes to find a vein to get a blood sample. Straight off to the hospital - express pass through A&E- and hooked up for a 12 hour blood transfusion. So it turns out that I my stomach lining had been attacked by Nurofen and I was losing masses of blood internally. My Hemaglobin level was 4.5 (normal I think is 13 to 17) . I later asked the nurse how bad that was, her reply was "that's fairly fatal" Good news is once I stopped taking Nurofen my body started healing itself, and after various probes through various body openings, and one more blood transfusion they sent me on my merry way. So four days in hospital, a brush with death and a life ban from ibuprofen. Interesting few days. I have to say the care I received was fantastic start to finish. Glad it happened before the coalition destroy the NHS

To be fair I didn't mean to just bomb Saudi, I meant to bomb the lot of them. My position is at least consistent, whereas Cameron is on the one hand backing pro democracy protestors in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, on the same trip attempting to sell weapons to the dictators of Saudi et al. My criticism is valid, my position is, whilst admittedly non mainstream, at least logically coherent
-
Camerons grandstanding on Egypt and democracy shown up to be the hypocritical sham it was now pro democracy protests in Bahrain and Saudi start. No surprise to anyone obviously. I have no idea what to do in this situation, unless we bite the bullet, and the get the whole of the west to unite and bomb the fuck out of the lot of them. At least we would get cheap oil for the next 30 years

Congratulations DrG. Same birthday as my daughter who is 21 today, and I still have no idea what I'm doing.

Ignoring the fucking tedium of the back and forth, that is the most important statement about where we are now, and the most depressing -

Do You Still Like Andy Carroll?

Fuck him. Hope he is permanently injured or banged up. Or even better both. Him doing well for England would stick in my craw -
Beat me to it it's fucking shit. I really enjoyed it; it's not thought provoking, but the action sequences redefined the camera work and brought complicated wirework into blockbuster films. I mean, forget about the meaning, just as an action film with a sci-fi bent, it's a fucking corker. It takes itself so seriously imo. Whereas I was completely unable to take it seriously at all. I'm probably being harsh like, i.e. judging it in relation to the hype but I still think it's canny shit. If it was on telly and there was fuck all else on, I still wouldn't watch it again. I loved it - its pretty dated now I know, but when I first saw it at the cinema it was completely visually revolutionary. Behind Apocalypse Now it is the most I've ever enjoyed the visual cinema experience. edit: ironically enough I would put Blade Runner at number three in my list

Good idea mate lets talk Newcastle! Is Ant still pumping Dec up the arse? and why did geordies turn miss Cole to black dudes? (Mind you its not hard if you think about it) This is ridiculously pedantic but it was completely fucking me off the other day too - it's either 'Miss Tweedy' or 'Mrs Cole' not 'Miss Cole.' Now fuck off Not strictly correct Catty - surely Ms Cole is acceptable -
Exhibit one, your Honour:The Matrix I think the Matrix remains a quality film regardless of the poor sequels. In fact I can't think of original films that I've found wanting after watching a sequel, all I've ever felt is disappointment that the franchise was weakened and that my hopes were not met. To be fair, I think if you'd watched Matrix 2 and 3, they work as stand alone films, not in the same class as the 1st, but decent none the less. I wish this was true for me. I absolutely loved the Matrix, but whenever I watch it now and see Morpheus my brain always says "Zion, are you ready to rock" after that mindnumbingly bad rave thing in Revolutions
