Was just about to go to bed an hour ago, no water in taps. Overload switch on pump keeps tripping. Had to dig up stop cock and turn on mains, not impressed, ruined a great day:mad:

I'd say it is. Same happened to me a week ago. The first go after putting in the new capacitor is a killer tho

Mate of mine got a bang on the head in a game and had symptoms like yourself. He more or less ignored them and played another game a few days later ( mid week and then weekend) , he got a second slap and that was the last game he played. He's gone through the mill with scans and treatment and hopefully is on the right road now but won't play again.
Make sure you're 100% right before you go back, another slap could do a lot of damage if you're not over the first one.

Don't think I'd be able to if I wanted anyway. Still a groggy mess today.

Your pump must be low if it's getting clogged. Does your well dry up?

Sounds like a no-hoper if ever there was one. Did he try the injection for stimulating the suck reflex?
Oh and is he passing water/poop alright?

Also moved to Chit Chat as it's a more suitable thread and has more posters so better chance of replies.
