Pollen. I'm doubled up on benadryl just to remain functional.

I know that feeling. I am huddled in the corner awaiting the imminent onslaught of the birch trees.

That's burst my bubble; so excited by forecast of first real good weather of the year that I forgot about the hayfever. Good news Guardian and JJ is that for me anyway, it is not as bad as when I was younger so here's hoping things improve for you too.

I blame a niece for my hayfever  (which is, fortunately, only mild). I had not suffered from it until she got married. I had, for tge first time, to wear a floral button-hole. After several hours of having this thing almost stuffed up my nose it has never been the same since!

Mine came out of nowhere when I was 21. Strangely the allergy I had to hot water, (always had very quick showers ever since) which gave me urticaria, just stopped at the same time.

I have to present a paper on Tuesday, and I'm trying to finish the damn thing but it's huge and complex...and...and...full of figures.

I just cut the ever loving shit out if my thumb. The cut was clean enough that it doesn't hurt but I'm bleeding through the bandage. Might have to break out the super glue if it doesn't stop soon.

I used pvc electricians tape when I did that! But there is still a bloody thumbprint on the attic ladder (thinks, put some 1st aid stuff in the attic.)

Go get some gauze from the store and put pressure on it to stop the bleeding then wrap that shit tight.

That's what they told me in first aid anyways.

If it's still bleeding, might have to go to the doctor instead of poisoning your skin with glue.

As Matt Damon said to Jeff Bridges, it will knit. Also, superglue is fantastic for stopping bleeding in a pinch. It burns a little but I cut myself a lot and driving an hour to the nearest hospital for stitches isn't feasible in a lot of cases.

Not sure if this should be here, in the chuckle thread or the jokes one.

Two visits in three days to a local clothes/household store - new signs up, "Click and collect for only £1.50 per order!"

All gay colours, pretty patterns and smiling faces. Looked very positive, proactive.  Didn't mention that C&C had been a free service up until then . . .

I suppose there might be a few custoners who are as stupid as the marketing psychologists who think these things up.

*shudder!*

Ice would hurt but it would probably help lessen the bleeding.

There always are, that's why they keep using these tactics!

If I'd been at the farm I could've dunked my thumb into a dewer of liquid nitrogen!

You don't have to go to such an extreme!
