bbishop Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Back after five days at Lord's. One day was hectic, the rest were fairly quiet. I have found an excellent perch in the new Edrich stand. Good view of the crowd, good view of the Food Village in the intervals (high likelihood of "incidents") and most important, good view of the cricket. Just very draughty. The best painkiller is keratine but can only be administered by an advanced practitioner. When I am asked to confirm any dose, I always speak the name, the dose and the end date from the label. Even the drugs that I can administer are potentially lethal. Bill 8 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM42 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 It's very windy here today and I am due to have a haircut in a couple of hours. Mrs SM42 has been having hers done since 9 this morning and there will still be time for me to go to the model shop, ( 30 mins on bus + a short walk each way) practise my modelling phrases in Polish and get back to meet her before the full makeover is complete. I need to be careful that I don't spend over my non declarable customs limits. There's temptation in them thar shops, but no green panniers Andy 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately with only mild cold/flu symptoms or as Beth describes it manflu. The upside is that I can't smell nappies. The others in the house are OK on LTF's.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted August 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 17, 2021 Sorry to hear Jamie has the virus. Long may the symptoms remain mild, soon may they part. Sherry continues to use lateral-flow tests and registered negative again last night, but feels below par today. Her drippy cleaner Michelle had cancelled the last couple of appointments - and Sherry has cancelled today's! As for Bill's wise words about painkillers, I am aware that my use of Coveram for blood pressure means NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatories) are out. So I have not been using Ibuprofen, but then discover the Naproxène Sodique prescribed for five days by the hospital is just such a drug! Oh, well, 4 out of 5-day course completed already, I'll soldier on for one more day. 1 1 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted August 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 17, 2021 Sherry's ex now lives w new wifey in a house that has a loo with something similar. A non-practising Muslim, the toilet bowl she had installed has some sort of attached external hose, so a comparable function. The installing plumber said he had had a number of such jobs in Muslim households. One just wonders whether the original idea came from hygiene-minded ladies or insistent husbands, given the apparently undemocratic nature of many such marriages.....

Tony Perhaps this is why you shouldn't touch the buttons. A gentleman had made several attempts to get into the men's restroom In a Chicago hospital, a gentleman had made several attempts to get into the men's restroom, but it had always been occupied. A nurse noticed his predicament. Sir, she said "You may use the ladies room if you promise not to touch any of the buttons on the wall." He did what he needed to, and as he sat there he noticed the buttons he had promised not to touch. Each button was identified by letters: WW, WA, PP, and a red one labeled ATR. Who would know if he touched them? He couldn't resist.. He pushed WW. warm water was sprayed gently upon his bottom. What a nice feeling, he thought. Men restrooms don't have nice things like this. Anticipating greater pleasure, he pushed the WA button. Warm air replaced the warm water, gently drying his underside. When this stopped, he pushed the PP button. A large powder puff caressed his bottom adding a fragile scent of spring flower to this unbelievable pleasure.. The ladies restroom was more than a restroom, it is tender loving pleasure. When the powder puff completed its pleasure, he couldn't wait to push the ATR button which he knew would be supreme ecstasy. Next thing he knew he opened his eyes, he was in a hospital bed, and a nurse was staring down at him. "What happened?" he exclaimed. The last thing I remember was pushing the ATR button. "The button **ATR is an Automatic Tampon Remover.** Your p**** is under your pillow."

SM42 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 As predicted, Mrs SM42 was at least 40 minutes behind me when I got home yesterday. Full hair and beauty treatment lasted from 9 till 4. I did ask when they are going to take the face mask off. I think I got away with it, but I'll find out in January probably. Meanwhile there was temptation aplenty in them shops. Darn you customs limits. Back to toilets Some years back (1997) I visited Japan. The usual course of action for a quick visit was to use the disability toilets as they were "Western style" and not the bobsleigh like instruments of torture the Japanese use as standard. Being a foreigner, you were able to do this as you probably didn't know and they were too polite to object and of course you saved all the ligaments in your knees from serious injury. There were however no wash and blow dry facilities A little off to use them but you needed to check no one with obvious greater need was nearby first. The interesting idea on trains was to fit a little window in the door so that one could check if the facility was in use before you barged in. Fascinating culture, even away from toilet etiquette Andy 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
