  • Emma Hart,

    I'd like to talk to you about fibro.

    Wow, I haven't heard THAT one before.

  • Rob Hosking,

    One point about acupuncture Steven - its yet another case of there being no one size fits all.

    My other half tried it with her fibro and it was agonising.

  • Bart Janssen,

    Man you go away for a week and what happens?

    The mild mannered David H attracts a troll and a flame war starts. And this inspired by a hilarious description of the (traumatic) events occurring in the first few months of a new life!!

    Good grief what next??

    I’m sorry David but our war of honour will have to be postponed, we clearly need to unite our respective fleets and go to war on the evil-doers that your postings have attracted. This will of course necessitate combined manoeuvres to integrate our command and control systems, long sessions of planning, and even longer debriefings (catered of course).

    I also strongly suspect we will need to recruit to strengthen our navies to fully prepare ourselves for future battles. I will be accepting recruits (especially those with catering experience) providing they understand that despite joint manoeuvres they still sail for The Orange.

    Oh Sarah you misinterpret

    …So bollocks to nasty, judgmental, bah-humbug types who don't believe in procreating….

    I firmly believe in procreation (within reasonable limits and properly taxed for carbon emissions) … just really really don’t think I should do it myself :). But you have to admit that the more you know about the process the less appealing it is – until of course you get hit with the pheromones with which your own child controls you.

    He still objects vigorously to my singing though ...

    heh and if you ever doubt that he’s a smart kid, remember that.

    only nobody gets to fly ...

    Everyone gets to fly! Look what your children show us from the interweb – that’s flying! You may not see it because you do all the ground maintenance but to me he’s flying.

    As for acupuncture – well I’m a “non-responder” so give me drugs. That said, on Mythbusters they tested lots of cures for nausea and Ginger actually worked. It was Mythbusters so it must be true!

    cheers
    Bart
