Ha ! Courtney SAYS she enjoyed haggis and black pudding NOW !
When she was actually in England, she described everything as "poor person's food" ! Blooming cheek!
Mind you, most of the tastiest food IS made from stuff you wouldn't feed to your dog !

Leave 'em in your locker. Only carry the ones you need right now !

<t>I practised for hours and hours for 4 months when I first got my RBPI. I started off the same way that I'd learnt in school when I was 5 years old. After 5 years of left handed writing, my writing was as good as it was before. If I take a bit of time, it's better !<br/> I can also paint, use a cr...

<t>I went back to teaching after my BPI. All I had to do was learn to write with the non-dominant hand.<br/> <br/> As a hobby, I have taken up SCUBA diving, welding, and woodwork. Welding is easy one-handed, all you need is lots of spring clamps and magnetic angle-setting jigs. If I was good enough ...

<t>This is probably old news to most of you, but I heard the other day on BBC Radio 4 that Neurontin is basically licenced for epilepsy, and its manufacturers have got into serious trouble for "bribing" doctors to prescribe it for other, non-licenced conditions.

<r>Metty... Generally the DLA peeps will only give mobility allowance if someone has severe and permanent pain in one or both legs that makes it impossible to walk more than 100 metres. Any pain not entirely due to leg problems is not even considered by them.<br/> <br/> If your son fulfills the leg ...

It rained on Saint Swithin's day ! Bring umbrellas to Squires !

For the US audience: an ancient British folklore says that if it rains on St. Swithin's day (15th. July), it will rain for 40 days and 40 nights.

<t>Speaking as an amp myself, I agree with what Jenny has said.<br/> <br/> The amp certainly eliminated the cold hand sydrome, and the subluxing pain. It also eliminated the ache I was getting in my neck and spine, due to lugging round the flail arm. I always found that other pain would trigger nerv...

<t>In the UK, we do not have quite the same attitude towards suing everyone for everything, and I'm really glad. I hate the culture where no-one ever seems to take responsibility for their own actions, and always wants to blame someone else.<br/> <br/> However, in medical negligence cases like these...
