They all seem to do 70mph around here with the OAP clinging on for dear life, probably with their eyes shut.

Thank you for pointing this out.  I've just been over to Wikepedia for details on  'Ibuprofen' which is a   'Non steroidal anti inflammatory drug'  and was chastened  (to say the least).
My view has been changed somewhat so I'll leave them off.

Thank you once again,

Ken

Even more salt to the wound Ken mine were on Prescription  %%  my  Quack  had always said the risks are minimal but with a good health record in that department physically active   low cholestrol and  normal blood pressure  methinks  they are not.

I've seen some footage on YouTube of a disability scooter fitted with a Honda Fireblade motor...just a touch on the quick side.

Paracetamol appears to be OK with blood pressure tablets but everyone has different reactions to medication. A bit like mixing enamel and acrylic paints really except that it's you that gets the orange peel effect - and maybe worse....

I am on all sorts of pills for diabetes an  arthritic knee, but  serrapeptase got me from walking with a stick in pain for no more than a mile to walking The Great Glen, 86ml 1 wk. Look them up, try one bottle, if they don't work at least you tried. They worked for 2 years for me. Now I use Flexiseq cream again not cheap but for me ,brilliant.
By the way this is a very strange humour topic

Of course its strange.  We play with boats.  We spend ages making them as nice as we can, then we chuck them in water.  How strange can you get?

I think the model aircraft lot must be slightly stranger. Boats can usually be recovered in one piece  :embarrassed:

Many years ago I had a live steam Mississippi style riverboat with a alcohol burner system. I was getting ready to light the burner and a little voice in the back of the head said "Fool - What are you doing lighting a fire in a boat that took two years to build?"  :o O0 {:-{ I never to run that boat on live steam because I seen a friends boat burn down to the waterline and sink  <:( because we guess he had spilled some alcohol in the bottom of the boat and it caught fire.
