Waste of time. Get as much good out of drinking cats piss! Get yourself a box of Benylin Day&Night tablets. Only available in chemist but without prescription. The only job. Kills the symptoms and allows you to function. Well they are the only thing that works for me anyways.

I know oh was told to stop taking nurofen as the side affects would out weigh the benefits- but maybe thats just him

Nurofen Plus, it's the one with codeine. Had to buy it once in Dublin city centre and it was like asking for methadone at the counter. Yerwan looked me up and down and grilled me before I was allowed a packet.

That would be Nurofen Plus. Chemists ask you a million questions if you go in to buy it as it contains codeine which can be addictive.
I was prescribed difene for a "golfers elbow" by my doctor a few weeks ago and found it difficult to continue taking them. Wreck your tummy

Had 3 travelling sales men around today. 1 of them really annoyed me going on about how a lad down the road bought 50 sheep gates and 10 field gates off him , how good his 9 bar gates are and the rubber troughs he has. No means no . Went off like a hot snot then.

I tell them i'm grand I don't want anything.
I'm only wasting your time.
I'll let you go so.

It puts it all on you and still makes them feel important and busy while knowing you ain't budging.

I haven't seen a travelling salesman in over a year.

I told this lad I have no money, he said thats ok, I said are you going to give them to me for free

Don't engage at all with them.
Your lucky he didn't say we'll swop something or we'll leave whatever they were trying to sell here and we'll come back another time for the money.
Then they have their foot in the door and they'll have an excuse for calling around when you're not there.
Do not start bargaining with them or they'll be back next week and the week after and after that again.

Don't mean to think of people this way but I had a neighbour who used to horse trade with them and my father said he'll be left with nothing only the headcollar (the amount of swopping going on) and it happened that way.
Expert negotiators.

Edit; saying you've no money in their minds means that you're interested but just haven't got the cash on you.
It does not mean no.

I was only looking at it there and thought about the thread. I suppose they have to have somewhere to go for inspiration :-)

This is why I warn ye to watch what you say here, boards.ie is a good place to pick up topical pieces like that.

And at least they got the correct answer.

Unfortunately I don't have enough time to play regularly. My late Dad used to play a lot and he introduced me to the game. He quit playing when we were young children so that he could spend time with us but when I was 11 (youngest child) he took up the clubs again. I always enjoyed caddying for him and having him all to myself for those hours

He bought me my first set of clubs, mentored and encouraged me.
Unfortunately he died when I was 17 and after that I lost interest even though my siblings continued to play. I only got back playing because the boarding school that eldest attended had a course. When he was in 1st year he entered both of us in the parent/student annual competition
