Re: I've got a pain in the neck

I got a pain in the neck and nothing will Budget, it's the minister for finance's big day in the house today and he's a pain in the arse as well as the neck, 10 quid cut from the childrens allowance, 360 quid a year for the new property tax, fags and drink up etc., who ever said 'What goes up must come down' never lived in Ireland, where does he think people are going to get this money when nobody is working?, I think he should have given the Prison Warders a rise first because they'll be locking up a lot of people in the new year and that will cost them 20 times more to keep them there, you can't get blood from a stone.

Re: I've got a pain in the neck

Love the government puns folks!

The pain has gone now but been replaced by a ruddy awful back pain, knee pain in my left leg and an awful cough which is absolutely awful and once I start I can't stop for about 30 seconds. Going to see the docs tomorrow for all three issues hopefully.

I think my body died back in 1990 but my mind keeps going.

Re: I've got a pain in the neck

Glad to hear the pain is gone now Jim. When we get older we get all sorts of 'Visitor Pains', thats what my Doctor calls them, he's 78 himself, they come and go and as long as they don't outstay their welcome, we can cope with them,

Re: I've got a pain in the neck

Well I have to say I am just glad to be alive after four heart attacks and three in the past two years.

I thought the double bypass would have sorted it out but nope, had another one after that.

I haven't reached the point where I contemplate whether or not I'll make it through the night yet though, so that's something.

Re: I've got a pain in the neck

Jim matey, pain in the knees are, as you no doubt already know, probably due to Arthritis. Do as I did, have the knees cleaned out, tidied up and replaced with metal implants. You won't necessarily be totally pain-free, but its certainly a lot easier than it was.

Re: I've got a pain in the neck

I think mags was talking about "Labour pains" in reference to the Labour party following with the other puns.

Re: I've got a pain in the neck

That's not how I read it Jim matey.

Re: I've got a pain in the neck

Thanks Jim, my sense of humour obviously doesn't get through to some!

Re: I've got a pain in the neck

Oh well, I caught it at least Mags!
