It also refers to a powerful spray of arterial blood. I've had the uric crystals one but I don't want the other one.

It?s not actually an infection of any sort like mumps. It is just a build up in your joints normally causedby an acidic diet and too much booze. It?s not catchy or anything.


In the 1700's it was dead trendy. Meant you had money to eat loads of meat and drink all day long.

Brendan, just refer to any anachronisms as 'old school' or 'skool' and you can get away with anything.

Even Dr Scholl's footwear.

No, no, The War. Well the last one anyway. You?re probably too young to remember it but me and a few of the chaps went over to Europe for a barney and taught the Germans a thing or two.


Or was it the French? Not sure anymore but they were definitely a foreign lot.


There was definitely garlic involved and sausage too though. All a bit like that pizza express place Jaybee goes to woo the young ladies really, garlic, sausage and hot Americans.


And cigarettes but of course smoking was still good for you back then.

I think people are being a bit tough on jaybee. If a girl has posted that a bloke had turned up for their date completely plastered, would people have been so quick to condemn her for not making sure the bloke got home? When all is said and done, a drunk guy is probably as vulnerable, if not rather more so, to getting into trouble - just more likely to be violence than rape.


I wouldn't dream of turning up for a date already smashed, it's really bad manners. I like a drink, but I think I've only twice in my life got myself into a state where friends needed to see me home and never to the point of being out with sick dribbling down my face - that's just disgusting.


Maybe it wasn't the most "gentlemanly" thing to do - but then turning up in that state isn't exactly ladylike!

Gout=Excess uric acid which needs an outlet and finds it in yourweakest joint which is usually the big toe.


Its the only thing I've ever had in my life worth mentioning and it only came in the Summer.


Finally realised that it was not "drink" in my case (as I rarely do) but too many Coca-Colas and Soft drinks in the Summer when naturally the desire is greater.

Naproxen Tablets make it go within the hour usually.

    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
