h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've occasionally used a cellphone to camouflage the fact that I was talking to myself.

Good idea. It also prevents you from talking to other people

Argh! mobile/cell phone - Yorkshireman - it's for emergencies only! (costs money to use) unless it's to tell me mate (wheelchair bound that's there's a offer on in a local supermarket of lower priced whisky and does he want me to get him one

That is an emergency!

You are definitely worth talking to, no matter what the situation.

I, too, minimize my use of the cellphone because of the money it costs. It's not that expensive over here … but I still try and save what I can. People in South Africa are rather nuts about cellphones. It's a must-have for pretty much everyone, rich or poor.

I try to keep mine within arms' length at all times.

Lucky thing I did when I had my post surgical accident last year.

Without it I probably would have died, helpless to summon emergency services.

I finally caved in and bought one of those smartphones (after having owned ancient Nokias for years) but I refuse to pay for mobile wifi. I can always access free wifis in certain bars, cafes and restaurants

no rest for the wicked as they say.
A few week ago, I got an infection in my prostrate so a course of antibiotics (again) That clearedBUT! last Friday 12th Oct' I felt a tad not on form as such ? and on checking my B.P. argh! it was skyhigh and hitting the provernial roof, so I got my sister to drive me to the doc's and "yes! it's a bit high (I knew that) It! might be just a blip monotor over the weekend and come back Monday - Did so but Friday night, as in turning over in bed, the room spun I instantly thought of vertigo (I'd NOT had too much whisky) so informing the doc's Monday, it turns out that I've had/got an attack of vertigo (this can have an effect on B.P.) So! now I'm on a course of anti-vertogo tabs
My B.P. has now dropped back to "normal" levels, but I still have the odd "off balance" sensation feeling, but it's receding Phew!



my lack of being in hootoo, is due to some unknown reason ? that wouldn't allow me to log in ?

Please, god, please! Don't let the prof be normal!

That'll be the day!

regards

God

Normal! me! NEVER! That word doesn't compute and ain't in MY dictionary anyway

Normality is overrated

I'm not sure that perfect normality even exists. A normal person would have one uterus and one testicle, be 5'6", weigh 173 pounds, have 40 candles on the next birthday cake, and be fluent in Mandarin Chinese, English, Hindustani, and Spanish.

No way am I normal, but I've gone beyond my normal life expectancy and feel great, so being above normal ain;t too bad .

Don't you mean half an uterus, though?

"uterus" ? is that a fruit or subway station ?

Sorry, I should have said ovary, not uterus.

egg-actly

Anyway, I hope you're doing okay.

Paul my health is nothing as such, because I care more about the health on my friends
