    So how tall and how heavy is Mr Slowly?

    I don’t actually know how tall or heavy Mr Slowly is now. 

    I remember at his pique fitness playing for Bristol he was about 5’ 10” and 17 stone but that was when rugby in England decided athletic was good and heavy was bad. Then they got stuffed in the scrum many times and realised weight mattered. 
     

     So he went up to 20 stone and decimated anyone that was in front of him. 
     

    Light on their feet they are not. Formidable they definitely are.

    We need a psychiatrist on standby for this place!

    Our two DIY medical experts have cautioned me against getting the 5th Covid jab........so what's your view on that advice?

    Well they and an army of armchair experts misusing Dr Google can’t possibly be wrong can they 😆

    Being a nurse....just curious do you believe at time doctors prescribed just too many pills to someone?  

    Oh FFS alright. 

    You’re grasping at what is known as iatrogenic illness or disease. A topic that is studied before qualifying by anyone who works in the medical profession.

    It is far more prevalent in countries where private healthcare dominates and pharmaceutical companies find it easy to push their wares. The tidal wave of opiate addiction from prescribed meds in America is well documented and quite sinister. 

    It is the opposite way round in the UK because meds cost money and they don’t want to spend it unless they have to. But there are still cases of inappropriate polypharmacy.

    It happens here occasionally that older people go into hospital and the first thing that happens is stopping almost all their meds because in combination they’re doing more harm than good. But that is rare. Most of the time those blood pressure pills, or diabetes meds are keeping that person well and alive.

    Why someone who’s devoted their life to studying disease and developing vaccines would know more than someone who’s read a few crackpot articles and come up with some bizarre theories after contemplating it for a few nano seconds is truly a mystery.

    I’m certain with a few days wading around the internet watching a few youtube tutorials you would have been delighted to let that person operate on your recent obstruction. No? Rather it was someone knowledgable who dedicated their time to that task? Well just make sure you only believe the people that it suits you to and dismiss everyone else who is dedicated to a field you clearly don’t understand.

    Reading some of the unbelievably ridiculous things on here it’s clear some folk really do need to go see the Doc and get more pills not less.

    Antibiotics are for infections, as far as I'm aware they don't work on viruses. Is that right @Slowlycatchymonkey?

    When the flu led to infections for me (throat) and the wife (chest) then we were prescribed antibiotics.

    Correct. 

    Antibiotics work on bacterial infections not viruses. 

    Giving someone with a virus antibiotics will not stop the infection. It is usually done to -

    A. Protect a someone who has a nasty virus from getting a bacterial infection.

    B. To cover all basis if theres a suspicion the patient with a virus may have subsequently developed a bacterial infection. 

    The inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics is what led to resistance eg MRSA so it had to stop. If everyone with a virus was given antibiotics we would be back to the days where there were none and folk would die from bacterial infections pronto.

    Bacterial infections tend to be fast and extremely nasty, without working antibiotics we’d be living in a very different world.

    Much better looking than the previous one but still can't understand where all the weight comes from at 195KG for a 450cc bike it must be made of osmium. Reading the bumf on it they say it's 7Ibs lighter than its predecessor, i it would be fucking hard to make it any heavier.

    I thought that too 😂 

    But they manufacture with indo-Asians in mind who expect to be able to fix things cheaply (ie it bends back and is easily welded) so they make a lot of it from steel.

    Looks like the Flu jab and the 5th Covid jab is available for me and the wife.

    I didn't have the Flu jab last year because I was feeling too rough with Long Covid! I wish I had taken it, because the Flu that I eventually got was responsible for me getting this fucking Hernia due to coughing!

    @Slowlycatchymonkey is 5 months gap between 4th and 5th Covid jabs OK?

    No idea what the current advice is on Covid jabs Pete. Seems theres a lot of making it up as they go along.

    Generally you can be re-jabbed with any vaccine after twelve weeks. So I’d guess 5 months is ample.
