😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life

Well hopefully you’re getting medication that will thin your blood somewhat. My dad died in the street in Shirley with an embolism. Killed as much by a negligent GP, (who ignored his symptoms) as the blood clot…cheated out of several good and active years of life. :lou_sad:

Doctors said after my mothers demise it was just life when my father pointed out the same thing had hit two of his children and his wife they looked further into it, aledgedly.

All they did was say the children and subsequent grandchildren should get MRI’s which actually prove bugger all.

The thing is @lifeintheslowlane they cant find anything. thinning the blood is what garlic and red wine isfor.

Yeah…uncharacteristic breathlessness is a warning. Best you can do is keep dosing with red wine and garlic.

Thank you @lifeintheslowlane that is the best advice so far and will continue to follow it.

This week’s annoyances

Mosquitos

Mosquito bites

Being quite allergic to said bites

Tropical rain storms (first few are ok. The rest are a bit of a bore now especially when we want to go out for a meal).

Some (please note some) Brits abroad. One (bloke in his 60s) heard yesterday using an outdated and racist term for Chinese and within ear shot of the Chinese tourists. Heard today (60 old woman) moaning about the hotel breakfast being for the continentals. When there is bacon, sausage and any type of egg they want. If you don’t like any of this stay at home in the UK.

Add Jetskis to above list.

Noisy dangerous things when people who haven’t a clue don’t keep to the buoyed areas and come I to the swimming area. Just waiting to see someone be killed.

Deet.

Nothing else. None of that shit Boots stuff they flogged you or those Mossie Wipes.

Check at the Pharmacy for Fenistel Gel. That is the best mossie bite cream should be available in Asia

Fenistil Gel - Fast Relief - Itching, Irritation, Pain, Stings, Bites, Urticaria, Minor Burns, Rashes - 30g

In your room get one of these VAPE Mossie Mats. We ALWAYS pack this when travelling in Asia

White Tee Shirts help. Not washing helps. Don’t wear Perfumes

HTH

Booze fumes attract, Garlic Body Odour repels.

Invest in those Elephant Pants in the evenings - shoes and socks actually help - in worst case tuck the pants into the socks.

It’s Thailand who gives a feck what you look like.

Also Lemongrass Massage Oil. If you cannot find the proper stuff rub that onto exposed skin and get some Lemongrass Jos Sticks for the room

I was wearing rash leggings on a hike up a hill when I got bitten lots and since then the mosquito trip advisor has been in full swing as I am still getting bitten having covered myself in deet/citronella plus a vape thing in room.

My partner hasn’t been bitten since we went for the hike up the hill. It’s just my sweet blood they want. He thinks I’m the best mosquito repellent around.

Luckily not my problem but

  1. Jeez

  2. Be warned IF you are heading to Venice

  3. Yeah that would be more than a little annoyance

(Seen this in other papers today but most were behind paywalls so sorry for the Fail link

Japanese diners call police after they are charged ÂŁ1,000 for three steaks and fried fish in Venice

My wife and I had a Pasta meal in a restaurant just off St Marks Square a few years back, I can’t remember how much but it wasn’t so much as to be of note…nor was the lunch we had on The Grand Canal last September. Did they not look to see how much it was on the menu??

Venice is a bit infamous for being pricey. Especially around St Mark’s Square. I spent a lot of time there in the early 2000s and had reasonably priced food. I first went to Italy with my mum via coach when I was 7 (1983?) That was a long journey for little me. My mum still remembers being charged about a fiver for 2 colas on the way.

Transport.

What a fucking joke. Seven years after Cameron and co announced their Northern Powerhouse, I got to spend three hours travelling 55 miles, one hour doing the last ten mile stretch.

Fuck you Chris Grayling. Fuck you Beeching, for ensuring that I can’t actually fucking beat that even if I elected to go via train.

Fuck you, transport.

Too many migrants on the road.
