got a migraine attack ....typing with 1 finger blurred vision and jagged light , drinking coffee , very stupid of me. must have been dropped on my head at an early age .

Ugh. you have my sympathy Woodbutcher: Just reading that makes me remember the nausea that comes later.

I put myself back on iron tablets Thursday as i had migraine for 3 days. Fine now.
Not a fix i know, i have special meds for migraine and there are a few triggers.
But low iron causes headaches for me

Worth knowing. I'll have to be more conscientious about the iron tablets. I've noticed my migraines frequently come when I've not been eating enough, so that may be part of it.

Yeah just wish l could pinpoint what triggers it for me !

Same here...

Ah, a dust trap... Back in the day (late 80s) they used to sell "coffee tables" from used Goodyear race tyres i.e. they'd been fitted with a glass top. I remember the ads in Autosport.

Wrong driver and definitely wrong team for me.

What have you bought?

 

[Andy in Germany]

Still typing the Report of Doom.

 

[Old jon]

Course you can

Thank you kindly.

 

[Reynard]

What have you bought?

A batch of photos from a press archive. Let's just say that I "liberated" them - they'll find a very good home chez Casa Reynard, either framed up or added to my scrapbook / archive.

To my defence, they were on a buy 2 get 1 free on Fleabay (not on their website oddly, which was MUCH more £££), so it wasn't quite as painful on the wallet as it could have been.

Also, it wasn't from a specialist motorsport seller either. I ran across these purely by accident, and I don't think the seller really knew exactly what they had. Included this lovely early photo from 1987...

I’m baking banana loaf as I type.

Yebbut, I don't know where you live.

 

[MikeG]

Yes - it's the Mary Berry one we're talking about on the baking thread.

Very nice too. I could have done with a little bit of butter on it, but it was in the fridge and a bit hard and I had to rush back before the rugby started.

I can save you a slice or two if you like. .......

You did. Thanks. I accidentally kicked the cat's bowl on my way out. Sorry........

 

[Levo-Lon]

What a lovely afternoon, rugby was unbelievable and i just smashed my mate on Madagascar black opps..
Few beers and a roast chicken dinner.. In 10

Very nice too. I could have done with a little bit of butter on it, but it was in the fridge and a bit hard and I had to rush back before the rugby started.

You need glasses. There is also a tub of spreadable butter in the fridge as well as a large cake of proper butter.

You did. Thanks. I accidentally kicked the cat's bowl on my way out. Sorry........

That explains why there's a puddle of milk on the sitting room floor and why I now have a very plaintive cat complaining that her bowl is empty.

P.S. Were you the one who sneaked some pretzel sticks out of the packet while I was watching the rugby?

 

[MikeG]

No, that must have been you. I don't eat pretzels. Unless of course @classic33 sneaked in too......

Spreadable butter = margarine, Reynard. Now, we don't sully decent food with margarine, do we.
