Right, now the Nurofen have worn off and my migraine is back.
This is unreal.
Looks like a trip to the doc is on the cards, but knowing my luck, if I see him tomorrow, my headache will magically disappear as soon as I get to the surgery.

The only time I suffer from headaches is when there is thundery weather...theres thunder in Dublin this evening according to the weather forum..could that be your prob?

You are ordering the full selection of ingredients on offer. Some only have eggs and bacon and so on.

Why not just call it the irish breakfast then and assume it has all the ingredients? If you want less then ask for an irish breakfast without eggs etc etc. ( I know ,it's a strange thing to bother someone)

It's marketing. they are trying to sell it the tourists that it will fill them up before they leave the hotel/B&B at like 8 am talking very very loudly, off to walk a hundred miles through Ireland's pastures.

It reminds me of Thin Lizzy.When Phil says "Any Irish out there? Any of the girls wanna bit more Irish in them?" His voice just does something for me..:oAnd no I dont know how that popped into my head ,must be the rashers and sausages:D

Er, I've no idea. I've never had a cramp in my vagina.
But period pains are usually very bad belly cramps.
They can be debilitating and ibuprofen does well in reducing the inflammation causing the pain.

Having said that, Mefenamic acid-"Ponstan"-are even better for period pains and it's what a lot of women get. Only available from the doctor.
I wouldn't use Ponstan for migraines.

I wish I had some Ponstan right now...worst period pain in ages!!!

Brain says : " Oh, this receipt is important. I'd better hold onto it. "

Hand says : " Ooh paper! Scrunch, crumple scrunch, toss. "

Bin says : " Allow me to perform a magic trick. I shall make this piece of paper disappear. ALAKAZAM! "

Argh!!

I always thought the button didn't actually do anything, just makes a noise. Now I'm wondering again if that's true.

May be true at some crossings, but at a lot of them the pedestrian lights do not change unless the button is pressed. This is an almost daily annoyance of mine - idiots standing at the crossing without pressing it. So the waiting time only starts when I get there and press it.

They're remainders. All the leftovers from your day out and about

Restless legs. All I do is complain about it. I'm so so fed up, I've tried everything.

I just cannot sleep. I don't know if it's a pregnancy thing but I've rarely had it before. Now it's every night, and in the car sometimes.

I'm really struggling now. It's absolutely infuriating. I feel like I'm going to go completely psychotic and stab myself in the calves repeatedly

firstly this isn't a trivial annoyance:)

I had it on my first pregnancy and it was hell. every night without fail id just be walking around the apartment. and at work- half the time I wasn't at my desk. just walking around. I started taking iron and it did help. haven't had it much on this pregnancy though.

my trivial annoyance- when explaining something to someone in work and they keep saying "yeah I know". no, but ye don't know.... that's why i'm explaining it to you.

there is a magic one at Mater hospital across from the Eccles Street entrance. It turns the traffic light RED immediately and you get the green to cross within about 2 seconds. Hours of fun!!!!!!........ if you have nothing else to do with your day

I'm reminded of the time when I used write testing software for a desktop computer manufacturer, and one of the tests was to check the "reset" button on the computer - an on-screen prompt would come up during testing to tell the person to press the reset button. I re-wrote the on-screen prompt to say "There is a bomb in the computer, do not press the reset button".

The amount of people who read the message, and still pressed the reset button, was more frightening than the funny reactions on people's faces who looked like they were struggling to know what to do! :eek:

That wasn't the worst practical joke that went wrong though - farting gas in the air con system was worse. I had no idea they actually circulated the air around the factory, so when I sprayed it in a small area, once it got into the air con system they had to evacuate the factory

I should have been fired at the time, I would have fired me for half the stuff I did back then! :pac:
