Yep I'd be dead fast doing that again, no quanity of chopped raw garlic would save me.

Oh I dunno, generated a lot of very useful ideas and very long sustained bouts of concentration, sometimes continuous four day coding stints without sleep. I'd be even poorer than I am now without all that. The ASDA "Blue PRO Vape" I use delivers little more than a placebo dose, frequently, but it's a necessary placebo at present. Tricky to kick. I'm off for a slow jog, deplasticise my lungs a bit, perhaps some will regrow...

Another fine easy to break line? I require more data.

sorry re retinopathy, have graves, high intra-ocular pressure in one eye, vision is deal breaker for me, it goes i go. Have vivid memories of puffing cigar, racing down new EN4 outside maputo, 90's, 130kmh (clapped beetle, WOT) chased by african taxi of screaming malfeitores waving machete i accidentally gave finger to. toeing line between fully present and distracted. wouldnt really want to do that again. speaking of which, found cold turkey easiest way to quit, focus on positives, suddenly smelling things one hadnt for years. Not that that or running fix anything, really, but heyho.

You can both edit and delete posts Jonathan.

At the top right of any of your posts there is a three dot symbol (...).

Click on it and you will see options, though I expect they will be time limited for edits and deletions, as it was before.

The 'Edit' one is self explanatory. For deletions look for 'Hide' in the same menu as 'Edit'.

I am much less comfortable with the new setup. It is harder to see what activity has been going on. Apart from that, it is OK for me, but its seems that there has been a massive fall off in posting, with many previous regular contributors now absent. I think the forum may die soon. Perhaps I am mistaken. Maybe it is just that some old members don't want to interact with the new set up, and new people will arrive and take it over.

thanks to you and guerney, not that i like new format any more tbh, perhaps it is generational, time flies.
