There is something called Army War and Pensions, that deal in such things. I could easily claim now, but if I did I would get very little compared to what I would get after completing my full serive of 22 years, I could forget about any promotion, and I would get every shite posting going.
A woman scorned is nothing compared to fat over payed staff officers!

No I stayed well away from them, though a soldier from my other troop (Platoon as it was then before the Army went all gay!!) sliced himself open with his own knife when he found one on his stomach as he woke one morning! He had been on grave hour patrol and fell asleep in his bunk without attaching his net.

As for me, I do have one, but from Sierra Leone. It's a story I have told before one here:
posting.php?mode=quote&p=91150Soldier_Of_The_White_Army wrote:This was when I experienced the scariest moment of my tour, no it wasn't an enemy attack. While laying in my shell scrape (a small dug out shallow bed used as a fire position) I noticed something on my hand, as I looked I saw it was a small spider no bigger then a finger nail. Now as I suffer from arachnophobia the sight of a spider on my hand was normally enough to make me squeel like a woman but on this occasion I found myself shocked to my core as I noticed a small brown hour glass figure on the spiders back. We had been briefed on Black Widows, snakes, bats and the rest of the nasties the jungle had to offer but to be honest none of us took much notice. I fxcking was now!! I was laying on the ground staring at a bloody black widow which had decided to take a break on the back of my bleeding hand!! I was unable to move, not through the fear of the spider biting me but by fear itself. The guy I was sharing the shell scrape with told me that it moved off after a couple of minutes though I swear it was a couple of hours!! From that day on the bloody enemy (RUF) could have walked straight over me and I wouldn't have noticed, I spent those hours searching my shell scrape for my own personal enemy!!

Seriously, the 'taking a break' thing is just not an option at the moment. I think I explained elsewhere a while ago, but at the moment I am competing to take part in the golf version of the Boat Race, which takes place in a couple of months. It is a ten-man team, and I reckon 1-9 pretty much pick themselves. I am not in that nine. I am one of 3 or 4 people who could be number 10, so I am practising as much as I can and getting in as many medal cards as I can. It sounds silly, but a place on the team might well be as useful to me in my career as a second degree.Gertie wrote:please no beast stories...
Mummy, a friend of mine is a physio and she says the worst thing you can do to yourself is play golf... She usually recommends taking a break or can recommend some exercises to stretch the muscles back where they should be. I'm sure you'll have a local physio to hand??
I don't really have any muscular problems - my back was a bit stiff this weekend, but I think that as much due to the 340 miles of driving I did as one of the team's drivers. The big thing really is that my grip with my fingers is becoming painful. I'd feel a bit silly going to a physio over my fingers.
Anyway, final selection is in a month, so if I have to live on ibuprofen til then then so be it.

I can't speak for Ibuprofen, Crayons, but I wouldn't do that if I were you. Most anti-inflammatory concoctions are not meant to be taken for extended periods.
Get yourself down to the quack's and take some proper advice.
Purely as a matter of interest (as I don't think it'll help you in the short term) my mother had joint pains many, many years ago. Although sceptical she was badgered by a friend into wearing a copper bracelet. It worked. Whether it was the placebo effect; it would have been fine even if she hadn't adopted the bracelet; or if the copper did have some affect on her system I don't know. Mind you she's an odd lass; she cannot wear a watch. Every time she tries the thing goes barmy. She's tried mechanical watches and the electronic ones - it makes no difference. When she's not wearing a watch it keeps normal time. At one stage she even had someone else wear one of her watches as a test and it worked perfectly. No, I can't explain that either. Like I said she's an odd one.
Good luck, I hope the doctor can come up with a solution.

mummy vary the stuff you take. take ibuprofen for 2 days then take paracetemol for the next two. Stick to recommended dosages (though if you get prescription ibuprofen it's 400mg, it's only 200mg over the counter.)
The other thing, if it's gout, drop cheese, red wine, red meat and anything "game" from your diet. Get in lots of water, fibre rich foods, oily fish (mackrel, salmon, trout) vitamin & mineral suplements and try glucosamine sulphate - it's good for joints.

I think I might just take your first advice and try and see the GP here tomorrow. It's another one of those situations (the car brakes was it?) where it's probably best not to go on the advice of a few people on a football forum, as good as the response has been.

We don't take the dietary side seriously enough actually, especially given that we play 72 holes (albeit mainly foursomes) every weekend. Amongst other things, it's considered poor form if you don't have a couple of ports or kimmels on the first tee!communistworkethic wrote:the diet thing won't harm you and will help with the energy consumption several rounds of golf will require.
Last weekend was particularly bad, because as well as the standard 72-hole weekend, we had our own selection matches on the Thursday and Friday.

You can get 400mg Ibuprofen over the counter at a pharmacy - I did at the weekend when I needed some painkillerscommunistworkethic wrote:mummy vary the stuff you take. take ibuprofen for 2 days then take paracetemol for the next two.
