Considering the affluence of incahol on my life I am pretty sure it is indeed gout.
Time to cut back....a lot.

Mornin all!
Ooops tis arternoon.
Sun shinin now but it rained like feck durin the nite and thundered an orl.
W upstairs trimming bits of one dogs coat, she who won't allow the clippers near her.
Princess and the pea comes to mind.
apparently she is being a "naughty girl" or so I hear!!
Trying to find out how to save money using our smart meter inherited off Scottish electricity with our supplier Octopus.
Don't even know if they reckon our meters are smart enough.
They can read both the gas and the electric meters from where they are cos I've looked ont website and they can give me readings for any day I want.
They talk about saving energy by doing stuff like having different tariffs but then they bury the actual details so thickos like me can't find them easily.
I've emailed them but am not holding my breath.
So used to the ultra simple system in France, why can't they just do that, eh? For ALL companies?
i know, cos they'd have to fit new meters to everybody's place.
Feck em!

Can't you put a magnet on smart meters like you can on an old fashioned meter?

No you shouldn't You SHOULD be walking out of a nightclub instead.
In my case the wound is probably self-inflicted. I tell you, this getting old nonsense is no fun at all.
Dr. Google says to me "Stop drinking/drink a lot less you daft beggar". And he is probably right.

According to this:
https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/muscle-bone-and-joints/conditions/gout
Drinking too much is quite a way down the list. Much higher up is "having a relative who gets it".
So my advice is, go out and find him/her and garrote him/her.
Then worry about eatin red meat!!

Bloody mouth is like a junkies carpet. Helped a friend move some bits and forgot my water.

Back from the pub. Nice meal n beer with dottir, husband, sprog n 'er indoors.

Morning All
A perfectly horrible night My foot was like a severe toothache and nothing I did would make it go away.
It probably is GOUT as its in that big-toe joint and just mild pressure/movement of the toe was excruciating. It's not as painful this morning (thank goodness) but I am limping.
I will be asking Dr. Google how to dissipate the crystals in the joint and or how to stop them forming.
Have a good day.

Allopurinol from the quack is the answer, my friend.
