GloveGate is turning into a full-on disaster. Wish had never got into this absurd and dangerous world, but can't back out now. About to push the button on a €310 pair of Hermes gloves. To think was once laughing at Tar's suggestion of €250 Burberry's. Oh to re-find that gloriously ill-informed and naïve state of mind.

wasnt amazon doing some gloves in black friday deals?
Couldve sworn I saw some

Trolling other stuff, meh you're an idiot. Trolling about someone's child being sick, maybe you should just fuck off

+1

Teddie has massive form of being a complete and utter cunt when it comes to trolling posts about forum member's kids. It's almost like he gets off on it. You're the shrink, what does that say about him? (My diagnosis is 'complete cunt')

[Teddie]

That's all well and good if it is indeed the norovirus the child has. What if its something different?

If the child only has symptoms of puking and vomiting there about a 1% it's something serious, if it is something more serious a GP won't know.

edit: Actually that was a little harsh, what I meant to say was "You ain't got the answers Sway", see from 16:00 below from my man Kanye to understand:

How was I trolling about someone's child being sick? It's not like I made a joke about his child being sick.

Don't tell people not to go to a doctor when you don't have a clue of the facts of the case.

People give advice about everything here all the time. I'll post what I want until a mod tells me otherwise. P.S I hope you'll give SatNav the same lecture.

I certainly would give Sat Nav the same lecture.

Yes, people definitely give other people advice all the time. but generally when it involves a child's health you don't give ridiculous advice or at least expect to get called on it.

[hotspur]

Lol. Like the childs health is seriously at risk.

Ah, I'm in a bit of a mood about something, don't mind me. Spending the next 3 days training in mindfulness based compassionate living, so spewing a bit of vitriol beforehand might be just the ticket.

Went to see the play Guaranteed! last night, which is a documentary drama written by a former journalist recreating scenes from the government, banks, regulators, etc. leading up to the bank guarantee. Was fairly boring imo.

It wasn't ridiculous advice. You'd swear I told him to inject him with some home made cocktail or something.

Does look pretty cool, reckon my other half would be offended if I bought it for her as part of her Christmas present though.

[Strewelpeter]

If the child only has symptoms of puking and vomiting there about a 1% it's something serious...

Even if the figure was that low (and in reality its probably more like 20%+ that it is something else that the Doc will prescribe a specific regime of rest diet medication) do you really think that a 1% chance is worth a gamble on when it comes to a child's well being?

[Tar.Aldarion]

I just need neon glow to entice me into ironing. But you would indeed get it around the head if it was a present.

[Zod]

it turned out to be tonsilitis, staying in bed drinking water would not have helped.

The HC is saved - ish. For another year anyway

People take gambles with their kid's lives every day, they certainly do things that increase the chances of harm to a baby by 1%. Everyone is different though, personally I'd be happy to take that chance but I'd know more than sharpnel probably so I'd have more confidence in taking that tiny gamble. I'm certainly not going to fault him or anyone who does take him to the GP though.

oh dear.

I was just going to let this go, but ugh. It's very important to drink water(or fluid) if you have tonsillitis. Just in case anyone reading it makes the mistake not too.

[Downtown]

Prob just tonsillitis. Whatever you do dont go to a doctor.

Actually appalled at the arrogance and certainty of the diagnosis' and medical advice offered by some here today.

[cardshark202]

Lol at people taking Teddie remotely seriously.

[MrsFlushdraw]

I have suffered for many years with tonsillitis and used to always get antibiotics. There were times when I could hardly swallow as they were so enlarged.

In recent times I have just drank fluid, took pain relief and it goes away on it's own. I think with adults we can cope with having no antibiotics but for kids you have to be a little more careful as they can run very high temps and this is more dangerous for them.

[conspicuous]

Indeed. I seem to remember him making some very seedy and innapropriate
comment to another poster about what their teenage kids might be up to on a night out. At best he's totally tactless

Ditch the hermees and pick up the burberrys with matching 300e scarf and 1000e bag. Can you really buy from people with a weird bird campaign? http://usa.hermes.com/man/accessories/gloves.html
It's a dark and terrifying door you have opened. I'm not sure what such a scary door would look like.

Yes it would have.

What it comes down to is knowing your kids. most of the time, you wouldn't bother going to the GP, sometimes you do for a variety of factors. There was something to his symptoms which tipped the scale towards GP.

Prob just tonsillitis. Whatever you go don't go to a doctor.

the tonsilitis verdict came from the GP. No one made any diagnosis other than "don't bother with the GP" type comments

This is exactly it. easier for small kids to get rid of it with antibiotics, as it can be very sore. for teenagers and upwards, painkillers and soup, and the odd salt water gargle.

[Raoul Duke III]

But then you can go out in the evening while they are off dishing out handjobs/fingerings in Wesley.

I think this was probably the post that turned me to the 'Teddie is a complete cunt' camp.

If anyone was wondering.

Antiobiotics won't help with pain and with tonsillitis they usually don't help cure it either. To actually know if antibiotics will work you'd need to do tests. Most of the time you just have to give it time and it will be fine or else get more tests to know if you need antibiotics(GP's will never do this though).

Yeah? Splendid. Shall attend to that, was hoping it were good.

I reckon Downtown was trying the risky combine two discussions gambit gag with an aftertiming tonsillitis diagnosis.

Certainly not the percentage play, and one I have often come a cropper with on here, but always worth the try imo.

Got my UPC horizon up and running. TV is fine, a good upgrade.

However.... The stock wifi capability of the horizon box is limited to 75Mb/s while the ethernet obviously runs full whack at 120Mb/s for my package. I can live with 45Mb/s difference but its a pain in hole that I didn't know in advance.

Now I have to set aside more cash to buy a new router on top of the powerline adapter kit for my PC upstairs. FFS I wouldn't mind if they had told me in advance but I can't see it clearly advertised on the website.

Grr, bunch of cunts. Pay €45 for the horizon box which I install myself and now have to pay another €40-€50 on top for a decent router to make sure my wifi coverage and speed is fine.

same happened me. Sent out the new router , did a speed test and was lucky if I got 12mb. I had the old router still here too so I rang them and told them I was not happy so they put me back to the 20mb that I was on and gave me a special price.
I had an engineer out lately and he said there is a problem with the line coming into the house. I am actually waiting on Eircom to get the fibre done and I will prob go with them.

Ahem

20 mb is all you need! does what you want it to do!

I didn't say they helped with pain. In SOME cases you need the antibiotic as the tonsils are so badly infected.

I was saying for young kids it is best for them as it basically clears up far quicker than waiting for nature to take it's course.
