Re: Woman

Mrs Newt: what’s the latest on the Ian situation?
Me: well they met and he said it didn’t go well.
Mrs: Did he give any more detail?
Me: Not sure, the thread has deteriorated into talking about lube.

Re: V8 Vantage hire experience

From memory these are absolutely transformed with a lightweight flywheel. Still not be of the prettiest cars on the road. Dave! Yeah, it seems like a common upgrade is a dual plate clutch with the lightened flywheel… just £3000 for you sir. And I did not get tired of looking at it. It’s gorgeous fr...

Re: V8 Vantage hire experience

I looked at them briefly...but suprise suprise, the bills can be outrageous. That guy who had a £15k bill on Pistonheads was enough for me. The 4.7 I believe is better if you can stretch. I'd be tempted to sacrifice everything I own for the V12, mind. The 4.7 gets a better write up as having solved...

Re: Woman

@IanF - big :-( but you will get over it. Thank you for your update as I think it tells one all one needs to know. I tried a variety of dating apps. Tinder is a real meat market and I felt a bit dirty after using it because it does just reduce you to thinking "fit" "not fit" &quo...

V8 Vantage hire experience

Pickup was at Perth station before heading over to the West Coast. It’s been about 2 and a half years since I was regularly driving a manuel, so the heavy clutch with high bite point took a bit of time, and a motorway run to the West was probably for the best before I picked up the A77 heading South...

Can you re-lay the (presumably concrete) floor 20mm lower with entry/exit ramps?

Re: Cholestorol and heart disease.

That's odd. Are there any specific vegetables that make them worse? Anything else that triggers the joint pains? Is it all joints or just certain joints? And is it joints or more muscle aches? Some veg contain solenins (spelling?) which has a weak link to inflammatory arthritis (in rat work, I don't...

Re: Cholestorol and heart disease.

PS if anyone does want an MRI scan then volunteer for one of my studies. Where are you based? We have a mobile MRI that comes to the prison but I don’t think I can ask for a quick scan! Cambridge - and the mobile scanners in trucks aren't sophisticated to do cardiac MR anyway. Although the National...

Re: Cholestorol and heart disease.

So lots of cholestorol isn’t necessarily bad on its own if the ratio is right ? Not necessarily but less is better than lots, for the reasons mentioned above. Above 9 I would normally start a statin regardless and refer on to a metabolic medicine clinic. And, as I say, take it all in the round with...

Re: Cholestorol and heart disease.

If anything there is too much information about and it’s proving hard to understand it all. It borders on wellness, which is full of quacks trying to sell you bs supplements, and any widespread medication use will inevitably breed all kinds of tinfoil hatted denialists. But at the end of the day, c...

Re: Cholestorol and heart disease.

Sorry, can't watch the vid just now as I'm at work - we know they reduce cholesterol as their target of action is a cholesterol producing enzyme in the liver. There are links to reducing inflammation / fibrosis but these are not as strong (i.e. they come from observational studies or research done i...

Re: Cholestorol and heart disease.

1. Statins reduce mortality on a population level by reducing individual risk. Will a statin stop you personally dying of a heart attack or stroke, I can't say, but will it stop a chunk of the population taking them dying, absolutely. 2. In the UK, unless your cholesterol is very high, we use Qrisk ...

We wouldn’t usually give IV for uncomplicated skin infection (erythema migrans) and this is reserved for central nervous or cardiac involvement.
