You shouldn’t get ibruprofen on prescription.

The bastards still claim it at £9.65, but you get a pack at a supermarket for 40p.

You can but not 400mg me thinks mate .

[Mick Dempsey]

You can in France, for buttons. Or take two 200mg.

Now you're 60, you also qualify for a senior persons railcard. Saves you a third off all train tickets, ok it cost around £30 a year, but you will save that and more if you use the train even once a month.

I just got back from the pharmacy - I got to take some stuff to help with a busted lung. I got the txt to say they were ready and went up there to collect. Name/address usual thing and she plonked the box on the counter and walked away as I whipped out the phone to pay for them. "You were 60 the other day so everything is free from now onwards" was all she said over her shoulder!

 

I knew I had got to 60 but I never realised that proscriptions were free! I thought that happened at Government retirement age!!!

And in Wales they are always free for everyone.  Which costs the Welsh NHS over 600 million per year.  That is the wages of about 15,000 nurses.

To be honest, I think that everyone of working age should pay for their potions and it would free up some dosh for extra services!

Does the the co-codamol bung you up? It does me, I can’t take it because of that.

 

Tried prunes or prune juice?

My dad struggled ('scuse the pun) with a few different painkillers until mum introduced a regime of prunes.

Oh piss off!

I take painkillers for hangovers, and manly work injuries.

*regimen*

A "regime" of prunes would be weird and probably undemocratic (but regular though).

 

Sorry, Doug. I tried to delete but couldn't....

Apologies. Both for this time and the next, bound to happen again.
