Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Probably just a sandwich for us today
The last one I had, together with the flu jab put me in a coma. That was 3+ years ago. Never again.

I have also seen reports (including BBC) that taking Statins reduces risk of Dementia. Obviously, not statistically relevant, but, didnt work for Mrs @BoldonLad
It must be love if you are going to miss Blackburn playing at home.

No jabs for me and I’m still alive……I think.

I feel for you, I really do.
I watched my lovely wife die but it only lasted months.

I have booked a hair for Monday morning ( £8.50 for O.A.P ) and also new front tyres for the car and a service ( £79.00) for the A service which is just a check of all levels and new pollen filter.
That same service at a Renault dealer is £199 !! Robbing b***** rds!
I also need to have the A/C looked at as it stopped working. The warranty on the car finishes at the end of this month so will check it in before that.

I’ve heard they can cause it! So much conflicting information. No wonder we don’t know what to do for the best.
Having watched and enjoyed the 1950's set film " Mrs Harris goes to Paris " on C4 catchup last night, during this morning's run my mind started drifting as usual and I came up with a wonderful idea for the Scottish tourist board. Flip the plot so it's a wealthy Parisian who sees and falls in love with a Tweed jacket and sets off to travel to the Scottish islands where she meets a variety of down to earth locals, get's taken to a ceilidh and waits patiently for the cloth to be woven and her jacket made.
They could call it " Mme Paris goes to Harris "

Never had a reaction with either covid or flu vaccination.
Had a covid jab everytime I’ve been offered one and I’ve had a flu jab everytime year for at least the last 30 years.
Not on statins , yet lol . But I have had the conversation with my doctor and had heard about possible sickness. So I did two things . First I asked Mrs exlaser, who has worked in pharmacy for 40 years , no reports of it. Then I asked around my friends of a similar ‘ vintage ‘ most were on statins and none of them reported problems.
So on balance I am more than happy to give them I try when my time comes . Tbh the way my diverticulitis is , I probably wouldn’t notice lol .

Most of the me in our village started taking stations prescribed by the Dr. However just about all of them felt so ill that they have all stopped taking them. Horrible tings.
