The pump don't work 'cos the vandals took the handle.

I know I'm a captive market, but seven quid for two pills is GSK having a right old laugh. Even if they do come inside a flash-looking holder that's just slightly too large for a chap to carry everywhere.



Still, they might just work.

Elsewhere, I was pointed at this splendid film: Tweed, pipes, ale, Reynolds 531 and an integrated transport policy. What could possibly go wrong?

What could possibly go wrong. Some months ago, I was kicking around some ideas. The thought that agribusiness might cut up rough was dismissed as ludicrous. Mostly I'm just bloody stupid and the to-read pile just keeps getting larger.

MapMyRide and its chums look like fun.

Heh. When Imigran first came out it was the best part of £70 (NHS price) for blister packs of 6 pills - which is ripoff in anyone's language.

Back then when I was on the wrong end of some impressive migrainous neurological shenanagins, they were a useful tool - although I did feel a bit strange afterwards.

When they first came out, a couple of my friends in Canada had shitty jobs with no drug plan[1], and thus would end up spending a great deal of their wages on it, because it really made a huge difference.

[1] Canadian health care - it's free to see the doctor, but not free for prescriptions unless you're on welfare. Decent jobs reimburse your prescription costs. As always, the working poor are shafted.

Imigran is brilliant. I get the six-pack on prescription but pay for the prescription - because a prescription is only £5.95 and the other option is buying them direct from a chemist at the same price you're paying :-/ I hope you find it helps.

What works for me in an emergency is 'Tam's magic pills' - ibuprofen with lysine, marketed as a migraine cure. People are different though and different things work/don't work accordingly.
