It also refers to a powerful spray of arterial blood. I've had the uric crystals one but I don't want the other one.

It?s not actually an infection of any sort like mumps. It is just a build up in your joints normally causedby an acidic diet and too much booze. It?s not catchy or anything.


In the 1700's it was dead trendy. Meant you had money to eat loads of meat and drink all day long.

Brendan, just refer to any anachronisms as 'old school' or 'skool' and you can get away with anything.

Even Dr Scholl's footwear.

No, no, The War. Well the last one anyway. You?re probably too young to remember it but me and a few of the chaps went over to Europe for a barney and taught the Germans a thing or two.


Or was it the French? Not sure anymore but they were definitely a foreign lot.


There was definitely garlic involved and sausage too though. All a bit like that pizza express place Jaybee goes to woo the young ladies really, garlic, sausage and hot Americans.


And cigarettes but of course smoking was still good for you back then.

I think people are being a bit tough on jaybee. If a girl has posted that a bloke had turned up for their date completely plastered, would people have been so quick to condemn her for not making sure the bloke got home? When all is said and done, a drunk guy is probably as vulnerable, if not rather more so, to getting into trouble - just more likely to be violence than rape.


I wouldn't dream of turning up for a date already smashed, it's really bad manners. I like a drink, but I think I've only twice in my life got myself into a state where friends needed to see me home and never to the point of being out with sick dribbling down my face - that's just disgusting.


Maybe it wasn't the most "gentlemanly" thing to do - but then turning up in that state isn't exactly ladylike!

Gout=Excess uric acid which needs an outlet and finds it in yourweakest joint which is usually the big toe.


Its the only thing I've ever had in my life worth mentioning and it only came in the Summer.


Finally realised that it was not "drink" in my case (as I rarely do) but too many Coca-Colas and Soft drinks in the Summer when naturally the desire is greater.

Naproxen Tablets make it go within the hour usually.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
