I had a twitch for a couple of weeks. Irritated the hell out of me. Thankfully I've not had one in a while but reading this has now given me the fear that it may return.
I sent an email to everyone in my team today addressing everyone as "Comrades!" but nobody has replied. I'm concerned that I may have given the wrong impression.

I've just had an email from my boss querying why an ad rate for a magazine with a circulation of 400,000 is higher than the rate for a magazine with 25,000. :despair:

I've not had that I'm afraid.
For the past week I've been getting this dull pain in my stomach that feels like the pain you get when you go 36 hours without eating and are really starving. I have been eating so it isn't that. It seems to come on more strongly when I eat something or drink a cup of coffee.
Anyone know what that means? Is it stress? Am I going to die?

Sounds similar to what I had back in February. My doctor put me on a course of proton pump inhibitors (Omeprazole was the brand) and it went away, and I slept better and felt better than I had in about ten years. They're amazing - they pretty much transformed the way I felt about life. I'd recommend it to anyway who reckons may have damaged their stomach lining through a decade or so of heavy drinking and/or smoking or stress.

Bleh. That means I'm going to have to register with a doctor. That sounds tedious.
I had a haircut yesterday mart. And a shave! I am now neat(ish) haired and beardless. And I'm wearing a suit. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, I put it off for ages, until it got to the point where I was being sick each morning before work and I was like "All right! All right! Fine! I'll see a doctor! Jesus Christ" at my body.

Here's one from 30/10 so imagine that with another 25 days of hair and beard growth. Although you don't know how quickly my hair and beard grow.

If I didn't shave for a whole month I'd end up looking like Thorn in that video from the beard championships

CiH if you want to try and self-medicate whilst you sort out getting registered with a GP, try Gaviscon liquid/tablets, or generic Zantac-like tablets (75mg ranitidine) - these are proton pump inhibitors but are milder than omeprazole.

That's a good idea H1ppychick. Kate kept buying massive things of gaviscon for use while pregnant so hopefully we'll have some around the house.

I don’t have stomach problems, but I have been drinking heavily for some time so I reckon I will try the ranitidine as well.
How long will it take for my life to be massively improved? And I am talking psychologically and emotionally as well here, not just gastrically.

Kanye, are you grooming Abby to try to get her to post exclusively on your lunch thread rather than Thorn's generic food thread? There are laws against that.

No. I don't have one. I might get one though, they're alright.
Well, the decision to not get an amex card has come back to bite me. Today only I could have gone to boots as an amex employee and bought three clarins products and got a free gift worth £50 and £12 of advantage card points but I can't as you have to pay on amex.

I'm having a few pints tonight after the interview. I suspect that's not what you're asking.
If you mean everyone from here meeting for a pint, surely the question would be where it would happen. You're basically the only person who lives in London so there is no reason it should be there. Lets all meet for a pint in Reading or Milton Keynes.

No not so much. I got dumped last night, so my relatively good gastric wellbeing is pretty much the highlight of tricks at the moment.
