Nice People 13: Nice Save

You couldn't make it up could you

Richard Barklie, who was one of three men police sought after a black man was allegedly pushed off the train by chanting football supporters, has insisted he is not a racist.
Video posted online showed commuter Souleymane Sylla being pushed back onto the platform as some of those on the train chanted "we're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it".
Mr Barklie, 50, who was a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and a Police Service of Northern Ireland officer, is currently a director of the World Human Rights Forum

Perhaps the World Human Rights Forum are very big on freedom of speech?

I've spent nothing on mid week groceries for a few weeks I think. Cannot go on like this really. Last week I are three corn cakes ( like rice cakes) and a yogurt and tried a cream cracker. Problem is its self fulfilling, longer it don't keep food in, harder it is to keep food in.

Sadly, I am NOT losing weight. :mad: This food this weekend has seen me swell like a balloon, :wall::wall::wall:but if I keep food in it should even out.

oh LiR that sounds dreadful, Ithink I have more understanding now following my episode since Christmas. Hope you find something to stay in, I know it does not agree with you but fruit, especially ripe pears peaches and honey dew melon were good and of course cottage cheese. The swelling must add to your woes as it makes clothes uncomfortable or tight against your skin.

my skin is like rhino hide at present on my arms legs and face due to the jaundice.

I suspect that keeping body and soul together takes very few calories: there are people that survived for years on starvation rations one way or another and indeed I reckon a couple of billion Asian and African people for a start must have what British people would consider a calorie deficit.

It must be horrible really. I just spent an evening chatting with a cousin of Mrs Generali about food and eating and good diet (yummy and healthy) and how to make quasi-sourdough croissants.

How do you avoid scurvy/rickets etc on that diet? A couple of months without a decent vitamin C source and you've scurvy pulling at your teeth.

Onwards and upwards I hope (but not outwards).

Grr lost post.

I down&'t cope. That's part of the problem. Along side tests for medical stuff like hormones, liver function, kidney function, etc etc, I have tests for vit/mineral status. When I go. . Among my pill regime is a load of supplements. ( but not in my med pouch, I prefer to get them myself)

Last autumn was first time vit d had shown as an issue though.... . Vit c is always a problem because I often have the reaction problems to forms of that.

My teeth are degrading rapidly ( hence me needing to stop mooching around and avoiding dentistry for much longer) not just gums, only my front gums seem to be receding, the others just bleed but seem quite ok. But the teeth them selves are sort of crazed and going a bit transparent. :eek: ( eta, one of the reasons fir is keen to sort the blue badge is so that I can get parking at a good dentist and start going, knowing I can make an appoint ment and go even if its a bad day, There is a dentist in roman city near here who seem to special in odd balls, so they might be primed to understand the facial pain issues and stuff. I'm not fussed about going to dentists, I quite like the pampering tbh, don't get upset at all, I just know its going to be expensive. ) I am guessing ( but dunno) that skeletally I will have problems similarly, not just through diet but through lack of action in the prolong use sleeping spells. Gentle concussive exercise is so good for us. Just walking is something that cannot be underestimated for health, bone strength , circulation, musculature, and IMO mental health/bio chem.


Funnily enough as very young child my mother took me to the doctor several times because I looked ' Ethiopian' ( not that skinny) but all tummy but scrawny every where else what ever she fed me. My make up definitely changed prepubescently at about nine when I became really more normal then pubescantly when I no longer could eat like normal people could. At an all girls school this was just ......easy to confuse with odd ways other people ate for a long time. Pcos and stuff wasn't raised and looked into and bad periods were 'just what every woman suffers' woman up, and don't swim that week. I wouldn't have known about the pcos had I not eventually got I'll and lost ability to control weight through diet and exercise because I wasn't I control of myself.

Exactly true that in famine ridden places people cope depressingly well,and historically too. In the Stone Age for example pcos women would have been shapely and strong not scrawny, and ideally placed to be optimally fertile and very desirable.

However , I don't just have pcos, I have more than one compounding endocrine and neuroendocrine issue. They cannot solve neuro problem one, but the rest of the convuluted path way they might be able to confuse a bit.

I'm doing ok again now. I'm far less worried about me than I am about you tbh.

Yes, I was hoping last week that though my weight wasn't changing that as the 'bloat ' was going down I might be in a smaller size of trousers, as mine were sliding down. . But then I bloody held food in again lol.

There is no win really :rotfl: I eat its kind of better I suppose, because you know, I live and all. I don't eat, eventually if might lose some weight. Logically I know that I'll pay for it by putting it on and then some down the line, however sensible I am, because that's how my body will work, but the desire to lose weight is still more beguiling than anything . Its a very powerful thing.

Applies are probably my favourite food of all. I'd love to be able to just go and chomp on an apple and know I would keep it in, or won't have to run to the loo twenty minutes later ( I have also developed something that gastroenterologist called intestinal hurry......I don't really know what that is, but it does involve a lot of hurrying:mad:) , or eat that apple, have everything work and know the clothes I am wearing won't be cutting uncomfortably into me. I mean ...its an apple. ( which I would count as 150 calories when counting to be safe). Hot drinks are causing problems ATM too, though it had a cup of liquorice and cinnamon tea which was tolerated by my body. It just wasn't that delicious.

Oh my goodness - the MP expose programme has only just started and I wish the ground would swallow me up. I can't believe they both tried to excuse this away!

Just went out for my Monday night ritual of taking out the rubbish in my joggers (bins get emptied first thing on a Tuesday), and saw someone lying on the pavement a little way down the road. Figured it probably wasn't wise to approach them on my own, so thought I'd head back inside and leave it a few minutes. They were still there after a couple of minutes (looked out of the window upstairs), then my mum wanted to chat so I have her a call. Part was through the call I thought I'd see if the person was still there as I'd formulated a plan - ring the nice neighbours to let them know that if they heard a scream I needed rescuing - and he'd (think it was a he) gone.
Hope he's ok...
