    Well seeing as i dont even use Nurofen plus it doesnt actually affect me in any way, i was posting it to help people so not entirely sure what you mean by the garbled nonsense above?

    I..I..I would imply that i was posting it for selfish reasons and not entirely sure your rambling argument really stacks up to be honest.

    seriously "normal " poeple do not want to take these, i am prescribed them, and they are incredibly strong, husband took one my accident a couple of yrsago( thought it was something else) ended up very ill indeed.
    also not sure if relevent but my seroquel are in a silver foil pack and are half the size of nurofen.

    Thanks, this is what i was trying to prevent by posting it here with the widest audience.

    Apparently that means i only think of myself? Go figure...

    Hey ho, the pointless interludes by 'funnyguy' thats a misnomer if ever i saw one are keeping my 'grabbit' at the top of the board;)

  • Thanks for posting this, regardless of whether it's a grabbit or not, this board has a high footflow and I probably wouldn't have read it if it had been on "the correct" board. :-)

  • Thanks again, my mum buys these so have contacted her to get her to check the packs. Very useful post
    Recently married and loving it x
  • Grabbit = act quickly.

    Thanks for the post x
  • Firstly well done OP :T

    I have to say that I think this IS the right area to put this post.

    1. This part of the forum gets a lot of attention. Best place to get the message out there. Especially with such a widely used product that could have potentially very bad outcomes.

    2. If unscrupulous people were to try to flog the 'wrong' nurofen cheap . People (not knowing about the contamination) would come here to let people know of the bargain or to ask if it is legit. But they would hopefully see this and think otherwise/chuck it away/report the seller.

    3. Lighten up! >90% of what goes in here is a grabbit. And if it isn't then its usually an honest mistake or something important like this. It is quite clear from the thread name that it isn't something to buy so if you don't like it DON'T click on it ;)
