@ Karlos

Do you live anywhere near the Oxford Road?
I remember getting a few curries from the 'curry mile' when I was a student there ('97-'98)

That's Wilmslow Road. Oxford Road technically stopped somewhere between St Mary's and the old Jaguar showroom (no longer there, unfortunately).

I used to live near there, now I'm a bit further away. So, you were a student the same time I was also studying there :-D

Yeah, I spent a year studying Audio Technology in Salford before quitting and moving to London to study Physics. I still have friends that live in the Manchester area.
I went up to visit them when they were still at university - they all lived in the Fallowfield area (surprise!) :-)

By the by, I liked Manchester as a city, but it don't 'alf rain!!!

Because they don't really know what's wrong with me we've all just called it IBS for lack of a better word. It's as close as they can diagnose it and I do have some of the symptoms.

In order for it to be IBS, the problem must be coming from your bowel, so a colonoscopy would be a good idea.

Fair enough, I stand corrected. But the article I read in the newspapere seemed to suggest otherwise...

Not necessarily, if the bakers get their flour from the same place the major manufacturers get theirs, then the bakers bread is no better for you, thats what I understood from the link you post previously. However, from what I read in that link, the bread I get from the bakery does fit in with what they describe as healthy bread, ie. it doesn't last very long, its quite heavy, it isn't bright white and it tastes good.

hehe, I think I've seen that photo in the image-o-matic before.
Just looking at it again, is it me, or do the posts seem, well disjointed? It looks as if the posts that people have replied to are no longer there....or am I just a bit tired?

@asian1

Thanks for those links, I might have to take a closer look at Aloe Vera capsules as a long term option :-)

You gain a tolerance, that's all I can say.

@Cyberus

I think the posts just span a long time :-)

Try changing it to "Oldest posts first" then refreshing ;-)

Perhaps if it had been smarter it wouldn't have ended up as a sausage?

hehe

I think that's one of her many East End expressions that kind of, how can I put it, imply an expletive without actually using one :-?

LOL!

Sorry, but don't try that sh!t. I had it in my teens almost 10 years ago, and I found that it didn't matter how little you mix with another drink, you can't get rid of the flavour!

1% Aloe Vera & 99% Coke ... Yuck!
.5% Aloe, 99.5% Coke ... Yuck
Put something with a stronger flavour than Coke in there, such as Port or Sherry.... YUCK!

Sorry, but Aloe Vera seems to be nothing but quackery. Promoted mosty by the hippie greeny sorts. The type who also tell you that their herbal remedies cure AIDS and Cancer.

I wouldn't say that, as it seems to have helped me, besides it was my doctor who suggested it, and I wouldn't exactly catagorise him as one of the "hippie greeny sorts".

Neither would I describe it as something "hippy and greeny".

The best aftershave balm I've ever used contains Aloe, as there really are times when a fully grown male will want to apply moisturiser to his face to avoid shaving rash.

On a side note, Tea Tree is also very good as an antiseptic.  Nothing hippy or greeny there...
