QuoteAlas, though I love mushrooms and still eat them occasionally my finger joints are agony for a day or two thereafter. :(

What on earth causes that, Mike ?
Some 'form' of gout ?
Didn't realise mushrooms could cause something like that.  :o :(

Cheers - Phil  :)

No idea, Phil. But then the medics don't seem to have any idea either, so I don't feel too bad about that. :)

Gout is a swine to live with. My sympathy.

I only mentioned gout, Mike, because Von's Mum DID suffer with that (in almost exactly the same way...really painful knuckles.) if she drank too much orange juice....(She did rather overindulge.)

That's what the Doc said, anyway.

'Crystals' (?) in the knuckle joints..IIRC.

She gave up the orange juice, and never suffered from it again.

Cheers - Phil. :)

When I used to drink beer, my knees and elbows would ache for a couple of days afterwards. Funnily enough when visiting friends in Austria and drinking their wonderful local, organic lagers, I had no problems at all.

Well I've just been made a Field Marshal, so drinks on me in the officer's bar :) .

All these reminders of gout...I'll have a Horlicks milkshake, please.

Congrats.

Pretty sure Leon's said that that's something that still needs sorting, Paul.

When you really wish the ground would open up and swallow you. :-[

Down to the village, this (very pleasant, and sunny) morning....Bumped into a chap that I see virtually every Saturday when I go and get the papers.

"Socially distanced handshake...and Happy Christmas, Paul."

"It won't be, Phil....the wife died on Thursday."

They'd been married 55 years.

What can you say....apart from "I'm SO sorry."

Phil. :(
