Woohoo!

I have stolen a significant portion of a 20 year old quiz show and put it into a slidesgo template. I hope you enjoy it

I am not sure I can make today. Julie has a op tomorrow l, so need to spend so time with a very stressed lady.

I would only be boring you about my marathon. :)

Great fun tonight and many good rounds.

The "TIL" part of my round on UK long-distance paths was about the International Appalachian Trail:

Wikipedia, so therefore 100% true wrote:
Geological evidence shows that the Appalachian Mountains, certain mountains of Western Europe, and the Anti-Atlas range in North Africa are parts of the ancient Central Pangean Mountains, made when minor supercontinents collided to form the supercontinent Pangaea more than 250 million years ago. With the break-up of Pangaea, sections of the former range remained with the continents as they drifted to their present locations. Inspired by this evidence, efforts are being made to extend the IAT into Western Europe and North Africa.

I probably should have drawn attention to the quiz topic as a hint. But it was just such a good "wtf" moment when I was researching it I had to include it.

Also, next time I do anything involving length or numbers I'm going to make it multiple choice. Better for my average I think.

I doubt that I'll be quizzing tonight.

I had my Covid booster on Saturday and last night I woke at 3am with pain in my upper back and in the muscles on the back of both arms. When I got up to get some pain killers I realised that I was extremely fatigued, but then couldn't get back to sleep. I don't know if it IS side effects from the booster, or a combination of the booster and the flu jab I had the week before, but I'm certainly not fit for work today.

Hi everyone,

Afraid I'm going to give it a miss tonight. Not feeling 100% and wanting an early night .

The link will still work and I think I've set it so anyone can share.

See you all next week.

Like everything else, they’ve changed the advice. I think it was at least a week’s gap for a while, but my sister-in-law had both on the same day at the same session last week and has had no ill effects.

It turns out that my symptoms were nothing to do with vaccine side effects.

I am currently residing in the Cardiac Care Unit at Wythenshawe Hospital as I’ve had a heart attack, but I stuck with that theory about the side-effects until I face planted in the living room yesterday, when Mrs. W called the doc, who said we should get straight to A&E.

We bypassed the four hour wait when they gave me a quick scan, and by midnight I’d had a couple of stents fitted and some blood clots removed. So it looks like I’ll be off work for at least another 4 weeks, unless there are complications. I’ll also need open heart surgery at some point in the future, but that could be months away. Hopefully I’ll be home in the next couple of days.


Today’s all-day view

Thanks everyone. I’m off the Cardiac Care ward and in a single room on a standard cardiac ward, as my progress is deemed to be satisfactory. Should be going home tomorrow.

I thought, “Lovely, a single room where I can get some peace.” The guy in the next bed to me upstairs was a 60 year old ex plasterer who’d become allergic to plaster and who had an attack at 3am on Friday. He thought it was indigestion, as a lot of people do, but it got so bad he called for an ambulance. He had stents fitted shortly after being admitted, but had complications and was hitched up to a machine to help his heart pump blood. This meant he was flat on his back and not allowed to move at all. I felt sorry for him until he started calling, or being called by a stream of friends and family, to whom he talked bullshit and clearly had no idea what treatment he’d had. He told all of them, and the nurses, that the most exciting thing was being in an ambulance “with the dee daws going.” BUT it was driven by a WOMAN.

Unfortunately, a few minutes after I was moved I could hear the faint strains of music coming from a vending or fruit machine. The same 12 notes, with canned clapping, playing continuously, for three hours so far. I’ve a good mind to call the cops and complain about noise nuisance.

Thanks, but I’m a little embarrassed now. The clapping I could hear was the clock in my room ticking, but it perfectly synchronised with monitors beeping in the next room. It was only when the monitors went off that I could tell the clapping was the clock. Wazzock!

Slightly guilty for hijacking this thread, and a bit delicate, like when you’re getting over a bug. That may be the new meds, or just the fatigue of being in a strange and not very restful environment.

Overall, a lot better than when I was admitted on Thursday night.

So glad you’re feeling better than a few days ago, Warhead. Has knowing the source of the beeping and ‘clapping’ made it more or less annoying? Hope you’re home soon and rest well when you get there x x x

It was just as annoying, really, but I resigned myself to it. Now I’ve been moved on to a 4 bed ward a bit further away and there’s more background noise and I can’t hear the clock so I may have a better night tonight. Hopefully I’ll be going home tomorrow anyway.

Well, we've got to know him a bit better this last year through quizzes and, um...

Kidding, of course! Hope you'll be out, hale and hearty.
