Yesterday, my eyes were watering, my nose running and there were several explosive sneezes that made me see stars.

Yes, an antihistamine calmed everything down, but this is February for God's sake! I normally start taking these pills in June.

try fresh pineapple - and let me know

I have mobility problems. Lumbar stenosis and cauda equina, as well as osteoarthritis in both hips and lower spine.  Walking any distance has been an issue. Two weeks ago I had a caudal epidural steroid injection. Very unpleasant and quite painful.  It's made a huge and positive difference, though, although my chances of playing for Wigan have not improved.

How's that taken Johnny, do you eat it or are we talking a death by mau mau situation?

If I were you, I'd still take my boots with me next time I go. Just in case.

I might just do that Tony, though I'm finding it harder these days to find dubbin and to nail those old leather studs into my boots.  We're moving closer to Wigan so I might actually get to a game without staying overnight.

Dubbin and leather studs nailed onto the soles. Oh, the memories! Thanks for that.

Good luck with the move.
