The Oldies Thread

[LEONARD]

The sun is cracking the flags, I am retired, cash on the hip, and the big evil city awaits.

What can possibly go wrong?

Container for hash or weed ?

Thought the Kinder Egg was the new container of choice,easier to secrete in body.

Started taking statins last year after cholesterol showed high on a blood test. Was getting sciatica type pain for months, so they’ve switched me to a different statin. Took the first one last night and dreamt I was doing Parkrun with Bob Mortimer, both of us running in a comedy style with knees high and straight arms swinging wildly.

I had loads of tendinitis (neck, feet, wrists) caused by knotted muscles brought about by statins over the years. Doc put me on increasingly expensive (for the nhs) ones and my symptoms gradually got less. Currently on Resuvostatin (or whatever) which isn't so bad. Keep going back if you get odd side affects.

Have learned to search for knots and have become good at self massage (oo-er missus).

Had one of those, now it's an MP3 player.

Hundreds of albums at the touch of a button, on a device that fits into the palm of your hand, how we have progressed!

Steve Jobs thought this was so ugly, apparently, that he set about dreaming up the iPod...
