2)Aspirin doesn't prevent heart attacks and strokes. Low dose aspirin makers have called for a government bailout. 'Total black swan, guv'nor, we done nothing wrong.'

Who Knew?
1)Hmmm so our first nationalised bank is now the most aggressive repossessor. Tricky and about to get a lot trickier.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
''Worried Well'' - didn't they used to be called hypochondriacs? Non-PC.
ReplyDeletePrevents cancer though - that's a bonus...
ReplyDeleteThough I'd also recommend Brownismus.
ReplyDeleteOnly in the Mail, I suppose: an article mentioning gastro-intestinal problems manages to obtain quotes from someone called Professor Belch. In the meantime, I'd guess it's a fairly safe bet to say that people having their home repossessed tend to take more Aspirin than those who aren't.
ReplyDeleteAnd my husband (61) takes a baby aspirin every day, religiously. Now I have to tell him it's pointless?
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean we're all gonna die after all, Bryan? How sad and unexpected....
Hi Bryan,
ReplyDeleteI knew.
I had a heart attack in 2003, and was first prescribed the bigger dose of aspirin, which was then reduced to the baby dose, because I did not feel well. It felt sickening, like Liquid Plummer was in my system. Last May, I was bleeding arterially from the nose, which led to weeks out of work while the bleeding could not be stopped without finally straightening the nasal passage surgically and cauterizing electrically. I was taken off aspirin immediately.
Maybe I'll try an apple a day.
Yours,
Rus
