Whoops, ignore the smile on that smiley.

Yep. A small island of inspired zaniness in an ocean of intellectual incomprehensibility

You can say that again!
But please refrian from doing so

I wouldn't dare

Reverse psychology eh?

Alright say it again

F122884?thread=272223&post=8378173 Ah, technology ... this is actually more practical when used to point to a posting in a different thread, or one on a previous page It is often used to provide a quick link to a posting located in another conversation To get the numbers, just copy the URL from the address bar. eg. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F122884?thread=272223&post=8378173, and remove the front bits... So, to link to a specific posting in the 'Chief' thread... F19585?thread=252800&post=8378024 Cool, no? To link to the latest posting, just do.. F19585?thread=252800&latest=1

Anhaga,

I hope everything is okay.

Medical emergency! That sounds worrisome - although in my limited medical emergency experience I've found that there are many that can be cured with a nice, cold bottle of Keiths, or a really dry martini!

I hope everything is okay

Thanks for signing me up!

Thanks all. Things are on the mend.

And, in my usual annoying and mysterious way that's all I'll say.

Well, as annoying and mysterious as you are, we're happy to have you back, hale and hearty

also...

Actually, I'm only back or a moment.

Then I'll go away for a bit.

Then I'll come back again.

And so on . . .

Sounds like what happens when I try to log off

You mean.... you.. actually... try.. to..........log off!!!

Why?

Because my laptop gets hot and burns my lap... it usually takes a while to notice

I probably shouldn't be on right now, I have a splitting headche

Ah well, I'll just ignore it

I had a splitting headche once. I prefer splitting three year old cheddar che myself.


Now, I'm going to get back to real life.

Real life eh? Sounds familiar... ouch! My head.

Ah, mezcal... the worm

Great for headaches

Seriously, you can sometimes get rid of a headache by pressing vigorously on the pressure point above the web of your thumb.. Let's see if I can find a link to a graphic....

*googling*

Yep, here's one.. http://www.kreinik.com/articles/news.php?newsid=32

They don't mention the way to locate the center of the point:

When you line your thumb parallel with the index finger, the web area makes a little mound. The center of the ho-ku point is beneath the 'peak' of the mound. You'll know you have found it, because if you have a headache this pressure point will hurt like hell

You must press quite hard, which will hurt, and you should do both hands. If you can force yourself to press hard enough, it will relieve your headache almost immediately

... or just drink more mezcal

Wah!!! I can't find it!!!!!

Thanks for the advice though, I'll keep trying

It's on the top shelf, right next to the stereo.



Oh. You mean the pressure point.
