Good luck Herc. It'll be a breeze.

Had a 'phone call from my doctor's surgery last week, out of the blue, saying that the doctor wanted me to come down for a blood test and then to have a "face-to-face" with me once the results had come through. A little puzzled as I hadn't seen a doctor for about six years so it was clearly nothing that he could have just picked up on.

Anyway I had the blood test and went down for the "face-to-face". Turns out he was just doing a review as he hadn't seen me for some time. I was with him about half an hour discussing the results of the blood test and my general health. He's recommended a couple of courses of action and will review it again in another two months.

Very impressed. Who knew such things happened outside Tannochbrae and Port Wenn?

RHANK YOU WVERYONE SCUSE CAPS BUG ISG ALL I CAN READ. NOT QUITE TIGHT AND AM SEEING SPECIALIST THIS MORNIG.

UOPE THA'S READABLE AS I CAN BARELY SEE IT

JRTC

GOOD LUCK FROM ME TOO !!!

WELL, THAT WAS A BIT OF AN ODD POST I DID YESTERDAY MORNING. BEFORE I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL, AND I NOTICED (LOL) I SIGNED OFF "JRTC", THE FIRST THREE LETTERS BEING NOT ONLY THE ONES NEXT TO "HER" (GOT THE C RIGHT - LEAVE IT!), BUT "JR" ARE ACTUALLY MY REAL FIRST TWO INITIALS.

IT'S BEEN A WEIRD AND EXHAUSTING COUPLE OF DAYS FOR ME (AGAIN PLEASE EXSCUSE CAPS AS IT'S ALL IT CAN SEE) - BUT MY SIGHT IS VERY SLOWLY IMPROVING. THE SPECIALIST SAYS I HAVE A BIT OF WATER TRAPPED IN MY CORNEA, WHICH IS NOT UNUSUAL AS THERE IS A LOT OF IT USED IN THE OP, AND THE REST OF THE BLURRINESS, CAUSED BY THE TRAUMA TO THE EYE SHOULD CLEAR ANON - I BLODDY HOPE SO!!

FIRST DAY WAS WORSE AND I STARTED TO PANIC - DO YOU REMEMBER THE ALIENS COMING DOWN THE SCREEN IN THE EARLY SPACE INVADERS? WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WAS SEEING - A SORT OF ROBOT CRAB LEAPING IN AND OUT OF VISION. WHO NEEDS LSD.

THE SECOND DAY I HAD TO WEIRDLY WEAR SUNGLASSES AS ANY LIGHT FLARED UP AND BURNT THE WHOLE SCENE OUT - EVEN ON A GREY DAY, THE ROOFS OF CARS WERE GLOWING.

SO, NOW I HAVE A DISTANCE LENS FITTED, WHICH SHOULD MEAN NO MORE GLASSES WHEN DRIVING ETC. BUT I AM UNABLE TO READ ANY PRINT AND WILL HAVE TO GET TO AN OPTICIANS SOON FOR SOME READING GLASSES, WHICH IRONICALLY I DIDN'T NEED BEFORE AS I HAD THAT AGE THING WITH YOUR EYES, WHEREBY YOU FIND YOU DON'T NEED READING GLASSES - I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS CALLED, BUT DAVID BADDIEL HAD IT AND MENTIONED SAME IN SOME PROG. MY SON ASKED ME WHY I WAS NOT WEARING READING GLASSES ONCE - NOW I'M GOING TO NEED THEM AGAIN.

GOOD TO SEE YOU'RE OK HERCY.

I'm OK if a little perturbed. Those ad choice adverts that tailor themselves according to an algorithm that works out what you'd be interested in? I got an advert for pith helmets. What the f**k have I been doing that would lead to them thinking I'd like a pith helmet? Why would anybody want a pith helmet? Why do they still make them? How many Victorian explorers or World War Two jungle fighters are out there shopping for headwear on the internet? I watched half an episode of It Ain't Half Hot Mum several years ago and now I'm 'that pith helmet guy'!

Why would anybody want a pith helmet? Why do they still make them?

About ten years ago I bought a pith helmet at the San Diego Zoo. I started wearing it to my neighbor's pool, and a few weeks and several drunken Amazon purchases later it became the standard headgear at neighborhood gatherings. They're surprisingly comfortable under the Texas summer sun.

My consultant said to just buy some reading glasses. Save you a load of money.

Made it back from Florida. The flight was delayed for 3.5 hours, so we didn't land until 3:30 AM. It's 87F/31C at the moment, and my air conditioners just kicked on for the first time in 2023.

Have you tried pressing CTRL with the PLUS key on your number pad & repeat. On most internet browser programs it magnifies the text. Press CTRL with the MINUS key to diminish the size.

Has the central advertising agency broken down today?
No adverts on here today and youtube just shows a black screen when adverts are supposed to come on.

All looking fine for me, but it's possible there's a disrupted connection between you and the ad systems.

Very astute Aaron, I found out later that Virgin were swapping units out and entire blocks of IP's were unattainable.
