43 today.
And they've just taken the plaster off my leg so I can drive and get out of the house, to the BK drive thru, to the cinema, to work.

Anyway, if you fancy popping down, I'm 1.5 hrs from the slopes. Mind, I think it might be a bit un-challenging for you.

Actually, that's unfair. Apart from taking out your wife in the worst possible way, permanently crippling her in the process, I didn't think you were that bad.
Hmmm, I'm not helping, am I?
>Anyway, if you fancy popping down, I'm 1.5 hrs from the slopes. Mind, I >think it might be a bit un-challenging for you. Well thanks for the offer, but we do have a home that's 2 minutes from the slopes (well, the lift) now, so it's not massively tempting right now...
although I've never skied there, so at some point I ought to make the effort, I suppose.

Don't know how they affect you but I find that when I do both the drugs make the alcohol less effective and the alcohol makes the drugs less effective.
Drinking more isn't a problem, but taking more pills can be.

>Drinking more isn't a problem, but taking more pills can be. I confess that when I was on the morphine, I rarely had more than a couple of glasses of wine. It wasn't that I was worried, but I was already tired from the ongoing healing, more tired by the constant pain and made groggy by the morphine, so I couldn't really stay awake long enough to drink much more even if I'd wanted to.

Sumatriptan (for example) seems to considerably slow down the action of alcohol (on the brain anyway) whereas one of the other anti-migraine drugs I was taking (topiramate) seemed to have the opposite effect..
And most of my stuff seems to have no synergy[1] with alcohol.

A recent incident would have been avoided by the mantra "don't pour back into the bottle any wine you've been marinading the meat in" and the mantra "don't drink wine from a bottle you find in the kitchen if it's completely opaque with bits in". A nice meaty red, it was.

Odd that the lidl.co.uk [age doesn't give the price. http://www.lidl.co.uk/uk/home.nsf/pages/c.o.tat.o.Tarragona_Gran_Reserva
Actually, looking closer, I've a feeling that the stuff they're currently selling (in France at least) is a 2001, so maybe that explains it.

You need to take topiramate for about two months before it becomes effective. And you have to start at very low doses and work up to the standard. Which would require pre-planning (not UKRMs strongest suit!).
