No Shingles here, Pantiles are the order of the day
More like a de-mentor. 
I’m a fan of Double Roman myself. Contrary to popular belief, they actually originated in Greece, invented by a chap called Rufus Coveredupulous.
ah that explains…[please insert whatever comes to mind!]
It’s an allergy from the food poisoning.
Gawd what next???
Hello Possums
I hope everyone is well.
Back later with some nonsense.
My sympathies for all the sick scribblers, I’d sing you all a song to cheer you up but it’s a bit late for ‘Shingle Bells’ 
Well at least Spring is here and lets hope all your physical ailments disappear, as for your mental ailments, well I have something in mind.
I was thinking of getting in a new nurse to dole out the meds in this thread, this lady has applied for the job, I’m from Ballyfermot so I know naughting about her, she could do with a smile though, what say you lot?

nasty piece of work if you ask me boyo - frigid virgin I would say - use to know a good poem about frigid virgins - must get me exercise book out and see if I can find it - or I could write another one??
shingles again! - I have suffered them twice in my life so far!
once 30 yrs ago which put me off work for a month or two and on high dosage codeine with opium in it - the rash was across my chest - they say if it crosses the eyes you go blind?
it is caused by the measles virus sitting dormant in the body for years sometimes and then waking up with a big painful yarn.
my second attack was with no rash at all and fooled the doctor who diagnosed me as heart attack and that put me in hospital for 5 days doin nothin. it had attacked the intercostal muscles of the ribs mostly on the left so how could it have been heart attack? but again high dosage codeine boxes and boxes of them and they didn’t cut out all the pain. NO NO I don’t want that again.
I once knew a virgin from Maine
she could be an awfully pain
when I got hot and heated
with her bag she me beated
and I never could walk quite the same??
sorry but I’m not getting paid you know!!
A story for you all
I left the funeral and headed straight to Gatwick, we stayed nearby, as we had an early flight the next morning.
I was still upset, so didn’t sleep at the hotel much.
I did sleep a little on the 4-hour flight.
I was remembering what my BIL told me, just before he passed away. It will only happen once in a blue moon.
Well, he was too ill to know, that it was a blue moon that night. He also told me that he would always watch over me.
On arrival at our accommodation, which was a two-bed bungalow, with a large patio, I sat outside for a smoke and a cuppa. I was alone, as the others were looking around the complex. This dove appeared from nowhere and sat on my foot. That dove was there every day, only when I was alone! I threw some bread out for it, but no, it sat on the table just staring at me. I told hubby it was BIL come to see me. Funny as I kind of think it was.
Yeah OK, you will think I am crazy.
But this IS a true story.
She has a face like a plateful of mortal sins, as old father Kavanagh used to say.
No better man than yerself to chisel out another poem Gummy.
I nearly murdered the dog last night, I let him out for a pee, God love him he was holding it in as long as he could, didn’t want to go out in the cold, anyway I forgot to let him back in again, I only noticed him buried in snow this morning when I went out to take this snap of the old rustics wall.

Only kiddin, that’s the face of a ceramic dog we put there last year, I only noticed it when I put the snap up on the big screen.
Are there Horns under that Quiff?
There are things going on Sweetie that we will never understand, maybe we’re not meant to understand them, but I believe every word you say, things have happened to me too after the death of loved ones.
Gumbud,
I have had shingles twice too, this time I have had the problem with a swelling on my left side of my abdomen, which is crippling me Did yours sort itself out??
gummy, for Christ’s sake, give RJ some advice.
they will go at their own pace all you can do is get strong pain relief and that includes topical gels that you may want Nurse Vivian to gentle rub across your abdomen - OMG I can visualize the scene now - down a bit down a bit - no up a bit up a bit - just level with the knee cap??
Oh my you poor babies.
Hugs sent.
I think mine is just an allergy, but painful and blistering.
GP on Monday - Hubby has ordered me to go!
Is there a Grand Pricks on Monday?
Only if you are arranging.
you’ll always remember shingles - excruciating
they start off as measles one day
mummy says"they’ll go away"
little does she know like Jems dog in the snow
they pop up and bite on the bum/stomach/chest or back!!
shingle bells shingle bells - did we do that one Jem?
I do love the new dance craze the shingle-shingle;shake !
laughter is the best medicine - who’s laughing now??
I thought they were like Chicken Pox?
I had Chicken Pox as a child.
None on my bum. But stomach and spreading to my chest.:shock:
similar but I’d have to do a thorough examination to make sure - go behind that screen and remove all your clothing [and don’t leave it lying about on the floor - the cleaner complains bitterly]
garden gloves nurse - this could be a rough one!
