    With me they worked really quickly but they work by stopping your stomach from producing the acid in the first place so depending on how you are with that it may take a couple of days to kick in.

    Have you taken into account the packaging and the time taken to do so? We charge quite a lot where we work for Postage and Packaging only because it's the amount it costs us.

    I'll have a check of the packaging when it arrives. To be fair, as a private Ebay seller I doubt it takes that much time to package up a few items and book a courier online once in a while. I'm sure the story is different in business though.

    Started taking apart my new Prodigy today and most of the screws come far tighter than they should be. Most of the screw heads holding in the optical bay arrived utterly wrecked so I'm going to have to drill them out tomorrow.

    One of my indoor cats has gone missing - escaped out of a barely open window. Problem is, we live on the first floor, so she doesn't know how to get back in. I even heard a cat wailing last night before I went to bed, but thought it couldn't be ours :(

    EDIT: Cat found! She was cowering in a dark corner, behind some junk. Thankfully unharmed.

    My glasses being in for replacement lenses today. I know the old prescription was rubbish, and the new one will kill me with dizziness again (that big a difference, thanks sh*tty optometrist from last time), but right now, my neck is feeling the lack of glasses...

    Electric cigarette, personal vaping device, nicotine inhalator or light saber. I guess its size (big one on right) can raise eyebrows. For size reference, that notepad is A5 or similar size.

    I had to Google it, and one of the sales websites reads like it was written by the world's highest man using Yahoo! GeoCities circa 2002.

    No offence, but am I the only one who thinks the word vaping sounds like it was made up by the hordes of young teens that now smoke E- cigs to make them sound a little more special and drug like? :p

    The amount of rage directed at David Vonderhaar over the Black Ops II Patching. I mean, come the **** on, Death Threats are not the proper reaction to reducing fire rates on some of the most overpowered weapons in the game by less than a hundred miliseconds!

    This is why the world won't take gaming seriously, because so many little ****tards rage over some tiny digital value changes in their favourite games and can't cope with the fact their cheats and carefully scripted macros won't work anymore so they'll lose that 5.1 Kill to Death they've spent so long altering their stats files for.

    Ahem. This is a subject close to my heart, since I routinely run into this particular form of slime in the PC multiplayer, thankfully nowhere near as much as the consoles, but still enough that it's irrevocably and utterly impaired my hopes for humanity.

    Which is why I won't game online with people other than those I know personally. Too many idiots

    I took omeprazole for a year or two to line my stomach as I am on strong pain killers. It was eventually worked out that they were causing me to get cluster headaches, so I was then changed to Ranitidine which I am now still taking.

    I am not sure if any of this has lead to me now having an inefficient gall bladder which is now scheduled for removal...

    One day I will be drug (prescribed) free... One day my head will be nice and clear again... one day... :duh:
