Tell Me Something............Anything!

Yes I did, I was quite young, maybe six or seven, but I do remember it. Or rather I remember the pink stuff that my mum painted all over the spots.

But wouldn't you agree the NHS' eligibility criteria make no sense?

Ah yes - calamine lotion.

And get yourself the jab. Shingles is very unpleasant. I had it in my late forties; it affected one side of my face, and because it can cause blindness in the eye, I was prescribed some very powerful (and expensive) medication which I had to take several times a day at regular intervals.

Fortunately it did the trick, but it was an unpleasant week I wouldn't wish on anyone.

My son got shingles around this time last year, only 11 at the time, and very rare in youngsters. The doc said it was stress, which would have been him going up to high school with no one he knew. I had no clue it could be caused by stress, but it was a very nasty couple of weeks for him.

Not my business to advise you Steve on getting the jab, but helping to make your choice informed.

Well, if it is a clerical error, it’s about time they sorted it out because all the treatment centres are giving it to everyone over 65 except those, like me and PP who are currently excluded. I’ve wasted my time at my surgery arguing that the rules are either wrong or discriminatory.
They have no power to override the direction and can give no explanation why some ages are being excluded. How do you raise this problem with the people who have the power to correct or explain such an exclusion?

Or giving the Ukrainians the chance to get some territory back before Trump forces an armistice on them.

That's the thing with these billionaires, they're completely out of touch with food prices. Though thinking about it, the bulk of the value might not lay with the bananas (instructions on how to periodically replace the banana were included in the sale) but in the duct tape - I have approximately £80m worth on a roll in the van. Which only cost me 3 quid at the car boot sale.

Well I have five more which I'm willing to sell for a mere £1 million. Cheap at half the price!

Just check you have adequate insurance cover - I predict there will be a lot of forgeries coming onto the market, and the required materials have to come from somewhere.

I bought two rolls of duct tape last weekend, a quid each.

That was from the shop formerly known as 'Woolworths.'

I don't often go in there but I probably should as they sell all sorts of stuff very cheap. It's a bit like what you would imagine a shop would look like 30 years after a holocaust, when society is just getting back on its feet.

The lighting is poor and flickers, and everything from the shelves to the checkout kiosk looks like it was built from scrap. There's big marks on the floor where the original Woolworths shelving used to be and stock is just everywhere rather than having an aisle dedicated to each type of goods.

There's always a big queue for the checkout, so they're obviously doing some business, but it's a bizarre experience.
