deathrey Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 The walk was on Saturday, I did it! We had a party of 37 and I'm so proud of us all as we all managed to get to the summit. The eldest (my dad) who is 67 and the youngest who is 8 and then all of us in between. My dad was actually the fastest to the top, making it in 1hr 53mins. I was closer to 3 and a half hours to the summit but I still made it and I wasn't even last (which I expected to be). Two of the party did have to get the train back down as there was an injury and walking down is only slightly less challenging than walking up. I can now officially say that I have climbed a mountain. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted November 3, 2024 Members Posted November 3, 2024 Starting at midnight I've had the worst period of vomiting and shitting (every thread) I can ever remember. So bad that I've had to abandon the tickets me and 11yo had to Spurs Villa as I didn't fancy pooing my pants on the Victoria line. I've been made a proper leper as well as my ex is surrogate carrying again so can't risk her catching anything, so they've been leaving care packages on the door step (bog roll and Irn Bru, what will the neighbours think?) Honestly, only time I ever don't like bring single. I feel fucking shit and want to be waited on. The vomiting was so bad I started asking God to make it stop, ffs. Quote
TibBo Posted November 3, 2024 Posted November 3, 2024 Christ, hope you feel better soon dude. Any ideas if it’s a bug, or food poisoning or something? Quote

Thanks mate. I don't know if its food poisoning, because I haven't eaten food that could be that (well, I can't think of anything) and I've only thrown up approx 20 times as opposed to maybe 50 times last night and have started sipping some water and a tiny bit of Irn Bru. Now I'm just cold, hot, shivering and sweating, and Spurs aren't fucking helping either!!! I honestly can't remember the last time I was this physically ill. Rubbish. Quote
TibBo Posted November 3, 2024 Posted November 3, 2024 Well hopefully Villas performance in the last 15 mins of that game helped you feel a bit better Quote

Maybe pop a covid test if you have one around. Getting the chills is always my first symptom, plus from reading about the XEC variant, the shits are a thing too. Quote
Ironic Indie Lad Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 Norovirus? I had that about 5 years ago. I woke up in the middle of the night and my immediate thought was "I am definitely going to throw up AND shit myself". Just about made it to the bathroom in time for my anus to explode into the bog while I leaned over and violently spewed into the sink. This continued for the best part of 24 hours. Even a small sip of water would be thrown right back up again. Quote
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted February 15, 2025 Paid Members Posted February 15, 2025 Went for an overall health check last week, 'cos I'm nearing that age, and all. PSA has come back fine, which was my main concern, but my cholesterol is off the charts. Literally. The chart only measures up to 6, and my little triangle is right at the end. Considering I don't smoke, drink only on special occasions, don't eat much fried food, and I'm reasonably active, this surprised me somewhat. Admittedly, we are a household that appreciates cheese, but it's not like I'm chomping through massive amounts of it each day. I've been told that I need to go and discuss it ASaP, so I predict being miserable for the next few weeks while I implement some "lifestyle changes". Quote
Paid Members Jesse Posted February 15, 2025 Paid Members Posted February 15, 2025 I'm on the lifestyle change too as I'm barreling towards 40. Blood pressure's too high and I'm way too big around the waist so it's either start looking out for myself or get on the wegovy. I'm now doing 90mins on the stationary bike after work, and replacing 5 of my dinners with healthier alternatives (swapping chips for broccoli, replacing fried chicken with tofu, getting into rice and veg rather than burgers and sausages. I've been dreading it, I have the palate of a child, but it's actually been pretty decent. need to learn how to work with the new stuff but there's only one meal I've outright not been able to get through - and that one I'm replacing with a home-cooked version because I think it would have been fine if I had more control over the ingredient ratios. Been doing it for a couple of weeks and can't lie, I'm already feeling more energetic in my day to day life and happier for it. Bastards. Quote
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted February 15, 2025 Paid Members Posted February 15, 2025 Had a god awful virus for about 3 weeks now. Every day I feel hungover. I'm fine when sat, but as soon as I move I start coughing and get nauseated. Been off work 3 weeks and think I need at least another 1. Still, the cough syrup is nice. Quote

In case there's a substitute out there you've not considered. Quote
Paid Members Jesse Posted February 15, 2025 Paid Members Posted February 15, 2025 It's the Birds Eye Steamfresh penne pasta, I didn't like the sauce it came in and I like the broccoli better roasted. So I'm just going to buy some penne pasta and a different sauce and make it myself instead. Quote

Still not recovered. Yesterday the doctor said the virus has gone, but it's caused acid reflux that's burning my throat and so I'm still coughing just like I was virus ridden. I have a prescription for a bottle of Gaviscon that's so big I'm amazed it doesn't say 'family sized' on it. I didnt know Gaviscon was available in a half litre bottle! Quote

Add some soda water to it and whack it in the fizzy pop thread! I feel like I've had a cold of some sorts for about 6 months now. Just constantly becoming unwell in some way every week. Quote
deathrey Posted March 6, 2025 Posted March 6, 2025 That sounds brutal @ReturnOfTheMack I hope the Gaiviscon works and you can start to feel well again. I'm on the neverending cold boat too, it's not a full blown cold just constant sniffles and sneezes. I blame the kids nursery germs. Quote
