Oh yeah, didn't realise he'd been interviewed by the police.

heh, you should try working with me;-)

 

Ha, you old cunts. [1]

Paul.

LOL !

Heh.

Don't know how they affect you but I find that when I do both the drugs
make the alcohol less effective and the alcohol makes the drugs less
effective.

Drinking more isn't a problem, but taking more pills can be.

 

You're obviously doing it wrong

I confess that when I was on the morphine, I rarely had more than a
couple of glasses of wine. It wasn't that I was worried, but I was
already tired from the ongoing healing, more tired by the constant
pain and made groggy by the morphine, so I couldn't really stay awake
long enough to drink much more even if I'd wanted to.

Depends on the drugs. Sumatriptan (for example) seems to considerably
slow down the action of alcohol (on the brain anyway) whereas one of
the other anti-migraine drugs I was taking (topiramate) seemed to have
the opposite effect..

And most of my stuff seems to have no synergy[1] with alcohol.

[1] Word used properly..

 

Thought about you t'other day when I heard mention that Sierra Nevada is
open already. The last time I spent any time skiing was with you and
Jude. Last time I skied at all was Sierra Nevada and I was even more
hopeless than before.

Anyway, if you fancy popping down, I'm 1.5 hrs from the slopes. Mind, I
think it might be a bit un-challenging for you.

 

<boggle>

Actually, that's unfair. Apart from taking out your wife in the worst
possible way, permanently crippling her in the process, I didn't think
you were that bad.

Hmmm, I'm not helping, am I?

Well thanks for the offer, but we do have a home that's 2 minutes from
the slopes (well, the lift) now, so it's not massively tempting right
now...

although I've never skied there, so at some point I ought to make the
effort, I suppose.

Hmm, if we can do a URKM survey we might find an easy way of getting
pissed cheap that doesn't involve Aldi brand booze or £1.99 bottles of
wine.

<narrows eyes>

I'm keeping an eye on your hair you know. I'm sure points are forming.

Heh, I'll just have to experiment more.

JHC, drinking with morphine? Can't remember if I ever did, like you say
you're not really with it, at all, any time of the day!

 

What's wrong with Aldi cheap wine then? Or Lidl, for that matter. Just
polishing off our second bottle of the night, as it happens, an
aldi-sourced Tarragona red, at around Eu2.95, IIRC.

Very palatable, it is.

Hehehe! That caused a genuine big LOL here :-D

I tried a bottle a few years ago. It would have been OK for cooking wine
(if I ever used any, if I ever cooked), but was horrible to drink.

Cheers for that, I shall have to re-evaluate my opinions of their wine
then, they've obviously improved.

 

I think the mantra is something like "never cook with any wine that you
wouldn't be prepared to drink".

 

It's Lidl, not Aldi, mind. And they're all much more expensive over
there, so it might not be so much of a bargain at GBP4.50.

You need to take topiramate for about two months before it becomes
effective. And you have to start at very low doses and work up to the
standard. Which would require pre-planning (not UKRMs strongest suit!).

And I'm the least pointy-haired of bosses that you can imagine. Well -
*I* think so anyway. And so do my team. Or at least they will once I've
told them that they do.

Phil.

 

A recent incident would have been avoided by the mantra "don't pour back
into the bottle any wine you've been marinading the meat in" and the mantra
"don't drink wine from a bottle you find in the kitchen if it's completely
opaque with bits in". A nice meaty red, it was.

How the rest of us laughed.

 

Old cunts indeed. I'm 25 next March...

I must be the youngest poster at the moment?

 

Well, Laura posts occasionally. She's 18 now, but was posting at least 4
years ago.
