As you ask Al, no I don't and doubt many of us do. We all skim. I suspect we all apply similar general criteria, i.e. how long in time and how long in replies is the thread. However, in a 'please help' type thread as this is, I am sensitive to the original posters worry and do try to read all...

AlCapshaw, do you read other peoples contributions. :confused: ^^ I did the weight conversion, mentioned fluid retention and suggested a GP visit. :)

Altitude :eek: One of the stupidest things I've done post AVR was to tandem paraglide from the top of Mt. Babadag, Oludinez, Turkey. Throw yourself off a 6,500ft mountain, hit a thermal rise another 1,000ft and slowly circle down to land on the beach below. Landing pale, woosey and speechless if...

Felicitations and best wishes for a good year to all those of a Jewish upbringing. :) A triple whammy of religious festivals is on now!! Rosh Hashanah, Navaratri and Eid. Yesterday Hindus started celebrating nine days of Navaratri, their festival of autumn, celebrating good over evil. One for...

You will notice the excellent new resource stickied here. :) We should all give a big thank you to those who helped me create it. My part in this was to set the ball rolling and when the ball hit some inclines, to give it another push. It was a joint effort. Thanks to Aaronj, Bina, Ctyguy...

Actually John the B&B HQ, a sizeable employer, is just two miles along the valley from us. Offering self certification mortgages, where asking for a loan, I sign a piece of paper saying I earn £xxx,xxx per year and it is taken on trust to be correct, was their market strategy. :eek: So IMHO...

Hello rufus , greetings from Yorkshire. :) It is 10 years since I had a mechanical valve (I'm now tissue), now a bit rusty on warfarin and INR, I'll let others answer that. It can take many a month to fully feel yourself again after valve replacement. Melancholy and depression are common post...

Another vote for Cool Hand Luke. Films with doomed anti-heroes in the lead role do it for me. A snatch of dialogue as Luke talks to Old Man (God) Luke: Anybody here? Hey, Old Man. You home tonight? Can You spare a minute. It's about time we had a little talk. I know I'm a pretty evil fellow...

But Aaron, On-X are now more than mere lurkers. Their banner atop the page and their survey on the forum indicate that. Their influence is now approved and overt, rather than covert. We could all debate the pluses and minuses, rights and wrongs of their status upgrade, but let us be observant...

Why men don't make good agony aunts Why men don't make good agony aunts To Adrian's Advice Column Dear Adrian, I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the...

Bob, I used to think you were a virtuous guy. :) But now!!!!!! :eek: Tales of drug induced lusting after ladies in uniform, intravenous happy juice and then followed boasts of an interest in S&M and upcoming energetic threesomes. Have you no shame man. :D

Nice one Ben. :D :D To continue the hospital theme................ Taken from hospital charts ..... 1. The patient refused autopsy. 2. The patient has no previous history of suicides. 3. Patient has left white blood cells at another hospital. 4. Medical history has been remarkably...

How long in the waiting room? A bit fluid here. Diagnosed as a six year old, probably adult enough to fully understand a decade later, first VR op age 38 with an eight month lapse from 'It's now time for surgery' to actual surgery. You will be. :) Valve replacement will give a positive...

Chicago voters get 5*'s, well done. :D It is taken from the Hancock Centre. ;) :) I had an early night last night and didn't get a Chicago vote in on time though. :( Many thanks for your replies. Hope you enjoyed working it out. :)

Spoil sport. :( :(

The plot thickens!! We are given the following mixed message, but no actual location. :rolleyes: It is not a southern city!!!!! So the solution is still open for claiming. I have solved this puzzle! So now we don't have to hang me as a punishment for submitting a photo that even I don't know...

Nice one Ann. :D Another part of the Lady Astor, Churchill exchange; Winston was a drinker, brandy for breakfast was reported as not unusual ............ "Sir, you're drunk!" "Yes, Madam, I am. But in the morning, I will be sober and you will still be ugly."

I'm playing a 'where in the world is this?' game on another forum. Your help please. The poster, from Seattle gave the following teaser/clue. I'm going to get hung for this next photo. It's a US city, more likely in the south than north. Help me identify it.
