    Small person clearly does require harsh discipline. Probably the parents' fault.

    The flavoured teas which are any good don't have weird stuff in. Actual camomile or mint teas are the best, by far, and mint tea is very easy to make - mix mint, boiling water, and wait!

    Is there some pedantic thing about this sort of thing being infusion rather than tea? I'm never sure ( its what I do with rosemary most days). Ironically rosemary I find very strong as a culinary herb and use sparingly.

    I like the look of the new site. I know I am in the minority.
    I've only been on the forum ... and only the logging in page is different for me. It doesn't remember me any more. It remembers my name/password but I still have to click "login" for it to actually do it.

    I have noticed, however, that suddenly my PC needs clearing of 100MB every couple of hours, but I don't know if that's MSE or the other sites I am also on... although the only one of those that's changed is MSE.

    I take them in the evening in the hope that I will then be most sleepy over night. However it really is true that they are much more effective if taken everyday, ideally started before the hay fever...

    I take a quarter tab of cetirizine in the evening, and a quarter tab of Claritin in the morning. Both only if I need it. Clarityn is Non-drowsy, at least it is for me!
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Sadly its pretty unusable for me. Silvercar, you tested and are a migraine sufferer, did it give you migraines? I think it would be ok if it were compressed a bit and had a darker background option. I'd certainly be willing to try.

    People are complaining about things like cannot see where to log on but I think that's clearer actually. Still won't be able to use it though.

    I can't see any change. I'm guessing this is because when I beta tested I used the option to withdraw from the testing and see the old version. So I've still got the old version. Long may it continue.

    Bit pointless to beta test if you then don't listen to the feedback.

    Almost certainly. I'll make sure they're suitable chastised.

    I think that's how Mrs Generali's cousin makes chamomile tea: she has flowers in a jar and bungs them into boiling water.

    I came across this via a circuitous route today:

    http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/I%27m_Sorry_I_Haven%27t_a_Clue

    That's one of the things I miss about the UK, listening to the 6:30pm comedy show. I always liked the Lionel Blair innuendo jokes on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. There was one about 'pulling off 12 Angry Men inside 2 minutes in front of an astonished Una Stubbs' and another about a Lionel doing a mime and being frustrated that he couldn't simply finish off Two Gentlemen of Verona with his mouth. :rotfl:

    I use jokes like that over here about myself sometimes. Aussies get very unsure about that, they flounder as they don't know if you're joking or not. Aussies don't joke about their sexuality.

    Solicitor just phoned.... did I still want to buy a house today ...? "Yes".
    So waiting for that to occur.

    Any updates PN? I've pretty much used up my whole phone battery refreshing the page this morning (goes a bit funny sometimes and loses charge quickly, but still :))

    I wonder if Coulson will now go ahead and use some of the dirt he has or hold off if there is still the possibility of appealing....
    I think....

    Mint tea may actually contain tea, which is nbg if you want a caffeine free drink.

    Ah yes, I am a caffeine free zone these days. Good shout as I wouldn't even think to look.
