Some are, but not the best ones.

It's worth noting that plenty of people have a problem with the proteins in dairy, not just the lactose, so those who call themselves "lactose-intolerant" may actually have a different problem and thus still have digestive problems with cheese.

Why does a 48 year old need tonsils? It feels like someone took my tonsils out back and beat the fuck out of them. I used to get strep throat all the time when i was a kid but it was during that brief period in medical history when they wouldn't take your tonsils out because some bozo thought maybe they had some unknown divine purpose. That was between the time of ripping everyone's tonsils out for fun and the more middle ground of taking them out for recurring illness.
Just bitchin'...this ain't nothin' in the grand scheme. |

Tonsilitis sucks though. I don't get it very often these days, but when i do it's usually pretty bad. I've ended up in hospital with it even, so I sympathise, and empathise with you IM. Gargle salty water. In all honesty, that's usually the best treatment for me. Seems to clean all the muck off and pave the way for healing. Tastes awful though.

Ali, I will have you know that you are responsible for me doing what my mom has been telling me to do all along: gargle with warm salt water. It really does provide relief...I just keep forgetting that my mom told me to do it. I don't know how, I've only heard it MY WHOLE LIFE!
Thanks. |

Good for you IM. Glad it helped, if even just a little.

We used to gargle with Disprin (a soluble painkiller mostly used by children). I hated it. I'm sure it did make a difference, but it made me gag.
Today I was irritated by a news report on the design of a new generation of engines/ fuel that may enable us to travel further into space. Black female presenter. No issues there.. But then she takes the information given by the white male scientist and breaks it down for us dummies by showing us her hairdryer. Does Professor Brian Cox ever demonstrate the principles of physics using his hairdryer? Did Sir Patrick Moore ever do so when speaking about space? Errr...... no. I guess at least she wasn't made to make reference to weaves or curried goat.

No...but Brian definitely uses his hair to good effect...
What's irritating me is all the stuff around this body they found buried in a carpark, which is apparently the body of Richard III. I am sick to death of hearing 'England's most notorious king'. Really? Most notorious? Because of some nonsense propoganda that has him as an infanticide? What about William the Conqueror and the Harrowing of the North? Two dead princes outweighs the wholescale slaughter and devastation of the North? What of John? Some of his tactics against the barons were truly appalling. The history of the kings and queens of England are a litany of terror tactics, murder, assassination, torture imprisonment, collective punishment of whole populations and executions of blood relatives and spouses. I know he's the one we all know about. But what we know about him is mainly bullshit. [eta] bullshit is perhaps a tad strong...unprovable and too muddied with propaganda to ever know for sure though. But even if he had killed the princes, even if he was every bit as much of a wrong un as he has been painted...he wasn't the worst.

You guys can find the remains of a dude who died in 1485 and us Merkins can't figure out where the fuck Jimmy Hoffa went!

I blame Shakespeare.
But then I do that when I'm late for work, go on a binge, put on weight, forget a birthday, my cakes don't rise, clocks don't strike, a cat bites, when I'm feeling sad and all that and everything. I'm actually excited by all this. I know I mentioned on here that I used to drink in the Last Plantagenet in Leicester. And I do know where he was found. I feel connected to this glorious son of York. And I raise a glass of fizzy water to old Tricky Dicky. Better to go down in history as a villain than never to go down at all (oo-er).

I think it's cool. How do they know it's his body anyway?
