A hospital? As I have found out to my cost a couple of times.


One time, I spent three days in bed following a bite, sought medical advice and got some kind of tablet. Vomiting, night sweats, hallucinating, the whole shebbang. Finally the doctor came round a second time and said, did I have any antihistimines in, and within half an hour, I was back on my feet, feeling fine.

You'll b pleased to know I have not died from the itchy bugger of a bite altho still achy (no tis not the after effects of the previous day/night).


Learnt some interesting things about ticks tho... apparently the NHS advise against the use of lighting a match to remove the tick.


I should prob hastily point out it werent a tick that attacked me! :p

Darling KalamityKel,


Why don't you simply chop off the offending limb, boil all of your clothes in a big pot,and burn down your house. I am sure it is the only way forward under the circumstances, and by the way, please don't be offended if I move seats (OHMYGOD - RUN FOR THE HILLS, KALAMITYKEL IS CRAWLING!!!).

We could just grab a pair of "doggers" from College Road - they are genuine animals, and nothing is too good for them.


I have a large Le Crueset caserole dish I could put on my Neff brushed steel range and boil lots of water. What do you say? I am in the mood for a linching... (how does one spell that word?)

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say. 
    • I used to enjoy the 50p shop in Liverpool, it merged with it's sister pound shop in 1999 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/lost-liverpool-shop-never-charged-more-than-50p-for-anything/ar-AA1rB1Z6 According to BoE inflation calculator it would be the £1.60 shop if still around now, although based on the increase in a pint of beer more like the £4 shop, or the reliable mars bar inflation indicator about £3. That of course is the issue with the premise that everything will remain at a certain price.  There were three pound stores in Peckham, one had a strange strap line that many products were a pound or less, so many were over a quid (pre Covid days).
