It can be quite aggressive at times or in the background waiting to spring any moment.

Everything spins when I move my head and I have trouble focusing and concentrating.

The biggest challenge is to not fall over and get injured.

It is worse than being drunk all the time.

It is usually caused by an inner ear problem of some sort.


Sorry to hear that. It sounds awful! :(


I am getting used to it and adapting slowly so try not to feel too sorry for me.

I just hope it isn't permanent - if it is then I will have to deal with what that means for me.

The worst of it is frustration of not being able to do so many things. I also get bored.

So I try to deal with that for the time being.

But this very minute I have fish fingers in the oven so that should make me feel pretty good in about 5 minutes. :D


:wtg:

Btw what are fish fingers? Is that like what we call fish sticks here in the US? :nemo:


Probably. They are just shaped fish with bread crumbs.

I am having egg rice with them - yum. Just because I can.

Yup sounds like fish sticks :fish:

I haven't had them in forever I loved dipping mine in ketchup as a kid and we would eat them with fries (I think in the UK you guys call them chips) or tator tots.

:D

The pay in the restaurant was way below the minimum wage and we were expected to make up our wages in tips. The management was horrible.

The pub was minimum wage but we did get drinks bought for us which we could have at the end of the evening. I liked the pub more because it was my local too and I knew most of the customers.

I am glad I had the brief experience of both because it opened my eyes up to the difference in how I could be treated.

For non-Brits the min wage then was more of a guide (totally ignored in Lincolnshire). When the proper one came

in just before I got my first job I was 8O. Everyone called it a pittance on the news but here it made a real

difference to a lot of people.


Thanks that helps us youngsters understand it too.

If it was back then I'd definitely leave a tip because it's part of someone's wage.

Nowadays I get the feeling people would be a bit offended by it and they have a proper wage anyway.

Tipping was less common back then. Waiting staff were paid the same as jobs like shop assistant and factories so

they didn't think of it as not getting their full wages, it's just that wages at the bottom were low.

Tem--have they ruled out Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo? I understand it's quite common.

When I was a horrible teenager a friend and I used to go to the sports clubs of a night and drink other people's drinks.
We never had a membership, you'd wait for the courtesy bus to come and walk in with the group.
once you got in no one could tell who was with who.
We couldn't go to the bar because we were under 18 and you needed ID (I was around 16 at this time) so we would hang out in the lounge and drink unattended drinks.
Which is so lame and disgusting it makes me cringe now, but we thought we were so clever at the time. :lol:

No, I'm pretty sure it's not.

Heinz were going to discontinue it in 1999 due to falling sales, but it was reprieved.

Then last year they were considering changing its name to 'Sandwich Cream', but that plan was dropped as well.
