Oh dear - wimp.
Just come back from my flu jab, now they want me to have a shingles one - never been asked that before and it was put to me that it was the norm - really? Since when has the shingles jab been on a par with flu or Covid. Odd

Yes, the sibling's had one. It's only for people in their 70s so it'll be a long time before I qualify. Well, one year and one week anyway..

OK, but I've been having the flu jab for a number of years now, and have never been offered or mention made of a shingles one - presumably this is something "new" that has reared its ugly head?
No mass clinic like this morning - I have to make an appointment next week. Oh well, half an hour on the phone again, starting at 7:59.

It's approved for (and recommended for) anyone over 50 in the States. I haven't had it, but many of my friends have.
Quote: Hercules Grytpype Thynne @ 7th October 2022, 11:05 PMThank you Dave - I'll let you know when I'm due to go under the knife. ?
I had one and nearly fainted before "going under the knife!" What a wimp!

I also had shingles about 7 years ago.
What can I trump you with?
By the way since having my eye done in the words of the Who "I can see for miles."

Yup, had my left eye done about 5 years ago to see if it would improve the sight in that eye - it didn't. What I was worried about was if it went wrong, what with the lack of sight in my left eye, I would be virtually blind. The op. is quite simple and been done for years - it's just that 1 in 1500 that can go wrong.

I see your cataract op. and.................
Bet you haven't had a Trabeculectomy on one of your eyes, where they cut a little trap door in the white of your eye to relieve the pressure. ?........... under a local.

Not yet. I can't wait!
Just found out a dear friend of mine has died, aged 73 - yet another one gone younger than me.
They have been picking them from our pen for a while now.
So, I finally got round to reporting a mains water leak in our road, that has been seeping up through the tarmac for some weeks now, and when I did, it appears it had been already reported four times previous - the first time on September 6th (this year ?) Who you gonna call? ?
(Yes, I know I've used this photo before, but there's been redundancies)
To be fair to Yorkshire water, 6 months ago I got up for a 4 o clock piss and the water was off.
I called them because water was running down the road.
By 7 o clock they had mended the leak just in time for the neighbours morning tea.

Shouldn't you have gone to Hospital?
