I can't swallow pills but I don't actually believe painkillers like Panadol etc. work so I'd never take 'em anyway! My mam always whinges at me for not taking medication but fcuk it, I'm gonna get better anyway and chewed up painkillers are nasty!

Ah you need the prescribed shít, thats where its at

@Abs: you're quite the freak arent you :P (ah but i get the teeth thing. I'm obsessive about mine too)

/i've actually weird food hang-ups but they're not fears. Just weirdness on my part.

Well when they're gone, they're gone! So it's all about preserving them as best you can. People kind of take them for granted, but the same people happen to be scared shitless of dentists! The mind boggles

I think its actually natural for women to have some kind of hang-up / hang ups about food. My fixture is on food contamination and sly labelling to hide additives and preservatives. Donnnnn't even start me! :eek:

Oh thats not my weirdness. Up until i was 27 i would only eat chicken. Only started eating eggs and cheese about a year ago. Was very hard for my gang to go for dinner as they always had to ring to see if there was a chicken dish with no tomato sauce on it. Now i eat red meat maybe twice a year. Hate pizza or bread. Hate pasta. Mainly eat rice dishes or chicken and spuds with gravy and green veg only. I could go on......:)

Now that is odd.

I'd be surprised if a few others didn't mention they had an issue with them actually. I dunno what Captains deal is with them is, I'm with him on this one. The open spirals you can see through (heights), and the ones you can't (claustrophobia).

I remember being in cathedral.. type place.. (was with a sightseer) a fully walled one in Cork a few years back. Well fucking hell I thought there was going to be no end to it, and there was nothing but thick grey walls around me. I was down those steps like there was something after me. Love the pubs down there though

The worst is when people oppose or question it, yet if you tell them why you feel like you're ranting about it by their expressions

Why exactly do you think this? There's plenty of pharmacological data about the pathways associated with paracetamol to support that they should work.



On topic: People biting things that shouldn't be bit. Specifically Lego blocks.

I can't explain it.
