Good morning, everybody. <note to self> alcohol tolerance somewhat diminished: in future do not follow Port with Tia Maria and then Armagnac. The Chateau Peyruac white Bordeaux was nice, mind. <crawls back to bed, clutching head> -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SE-V/CBR1100XX-X/CBX1000Z |_\_____/_| ..78895.../...20405.../..31257.

I stuck with a nice Muscadet all day and night. All three litres of it. A bit muzzy-headed but nothing too major.
Yeah. Its not the alcohol thats the biggest problem this time of year though. Its the fucking food poisoning you really have to watch out for.
Yep: 23rd spent vomiting and shitting, 24th spent shitting, 25th scared to eat or fart. Today went out for lunch and drank tomato juice. :-(

Funnily enough, I don't carry a lot of clout with the RAF. I can go Space A with the other lot, but I wouldn't want to take a flight of more than a couple of hours with them; the cabin service is terrible.
Poor chap. I can console by my similar experience, except without any shits which I managed to completely avoid but have had a very dicky and abused tummy. It was an appropriate present from Santa for being a nasty little bastard all year round I guess - 2am job, restlessness, not sure what I wanted to do and an incredible build up of acid stomach which I had no idea what to do with, an no chance of finding a 24 hr open with alka seltza. Thought I might ride it out, tried going back to bed but eventually thought better of it and made the inevitable mad dash for a good old chat with the toilet. In actual fact, the ending of the dvd I had for xmas which I watched on xmas day (War of the worlds, when the virus takes over and the ship belches its contents out rather nicely)- pretty much resembled what happened in all its glory detail. On the plus side, most of it was on the piss matt and the girlfriend was more than very keen to sort it all out, while I just acted pathetic and delicate. Though a bit scattered onto the walls as well so it was a bit of a wipe up job too. Merry fucking xmas santa. There will be a claymore waiting for you in the fireplace for you next year, you ****.
Always keep a can of baking soda[0] (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) on hand; it's only about 47p for 200g at the s/market[1]. If it doesn't neutralise the acid, it lets you get rid of what's bothering you quite pronto (blood from your ulcer, most likely). 1/2-3/4 teaspoon at a time, in hottish water -- you _can_ rupture your innards from over-pressure. [0] *NOT* baking powder; that's a mixture of bicarb and tartaric acid, plus some flour, usually. [1] Boots sell it in 500g boxes; IIRC the SuperCook cans are cheaper per gram. -- Ivan Reid, Electronic & Computer Engineering, ___ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

gram. Interesting, thanks for that. I will have to come by that stuff as essential first aid stock. Given that I am still midly bothered by the belly (but its settled/settling down very nicely), does that mean I probably have an ulcer then? Does it go away or do I need to see Doc do you think?
Boots Heartburn Relief, their own-brand of Gaviscon liquid, is currently $6/500 ml -- way overpriced, but it does have sodium alginate as well as bicarb, that forms a "raft" over the acidic belly-juices and prevents reflux, if you're having a problem with that (hydrochloric acid breathed into your lungs _seriously_ ruins your night!). If this is the first time around, probably not -- lots of other things can stir you up (white Swiss wine is my acidic bete noire); I've been battling this stuff for 40 years now, and have yet to see a doc... Main thing is to avoid acidic food (wine, vinegar, most fruit juices, wine gums, acid drops, etc.) until it calms down. It's quite a party trick to turn still wine into champagne -- just take the merest pinch of bicarb and sprinkle it into a glass of white wine; almost inevitably carbon-dioxide bubbles will form, and within minutes they will be clinging to the side of the glass and rising just like real bubbly. -- Ivan Reid, Electronic & Computer Engineering, ___ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

See doctor, get Losec. Job done. Ask me how I know. Oh, you may have to have a camera stuffed down your throat first.
