    If you'd eaten one fly agaric I think you'd know about it.

    Liberty caps need to be eaten in some quantity before you have any discernable effects.

    3.I've got arrhythmia too. It's remarkably common. Many people do too and don't even realise it. I don't give a f_ck about it. I may die on a squash court one day : but I'm living a great life and I suspect I'm older than you.
    I have, I have an ICD and have had it for three years.

    Sometimes I lie awake at night waiting for that last heartbeat, really, really wish I was in the dark about my condition and if it does come, it would be a bit of a surprise...

    Actually my defib must be due for battery change, three years, no kicks, hopefully my attack was a one-off, cost me nowt, cost this bloke in USA $149,000........
    I also do Clopidogrel and Simvastatin All for hight blood pressure which is what caused my stroke. It certainly changed my life, and made me give up alcohol

    Admittedly this statement (from previous Eek posts) also rings in my ears, and credit is given.

    started a topic Office Stress

    Office Stress

    I know some people get stressed out at work and that there are certain ways of relieving that but this is probably one that I wouldn't use: Stress Mushrooms - buy at Firebox.com
