Hope this one hasn't been discussed yet, but I can't be arsed to wade through all the entries since I was last here.
Anyway, to topic, what is it about the fecking nannying ''something must be done brigade'' that attempts to guide our every waking minute and most pleasurable pastimes of late?...Huh?
''Do you wish to imbibe in the social iniquities of the public house madam''?
''Yes, I bloody well do and I will have a magnum of your finest champagne barman''!
Well, may I draw your eyesight to the newly placed warning label informing you of how much you can be permitted to drink before drowning your liver and masticating your pancreas to death''?
'' No, you fecking well cannot, now give me the bloody bottle''!
I am sick to death of reading warning signs and labels on just about everything now...
Fags.
Booze
Condoms
Butter...this product contains fat!...oh really, well whoop de fecking do. I never realised that
Are warning signs turning us all into idiots? I find myself looking for a warning label all the time now, even when I pick up a can of beans!....warning...this product can make you fart!
Warning....you may only drink 4 glasses of Champers
Warning....this fag can make your lungs turn black
Warning....sex can make you go blind!
I'm sure this government wishes us to have a totally miserable existence
Why must we all be treated like some dribbling lobotomised retard? It's none of their fecking business what I do.
I love my vices thank you very much.
Hmmm...anyone into flagellation?.... eeek:

Because, statistically speaking, that is the correct assumption. cry:
Of those who are not that thick, a large proportion have their eye on the ?1,000,000 compensation they will win because the bleach bottle didn't say "do not drink contents".
"Warning, may contain bones" is applicable to the majority of heads nowadays.

Excellent whinging!
The danger contents hot warning on coffee cups is one of the most ridiculous warnings ever invented ? resulting from a successfully law suit on McDonalds. I fear our lives will be increasingly limited and controlled as the result of legal action. noooo:

Having a nut allergic puppy we have to check all labels but I have to say finding the legend "Warning. This Product may contain nuts" on a bar of fruit and nut chocolate was, I felt, going a bit far. doh:

I have to agree, There are plenty of numpties out there and because there is now this 'need' to protect them from themselves the problem will get worse. As people need to think less for themselves the less they think, fullstop.

It?s amazing that they can still sell razor blades and other sharp objects.
Although I believe you can only buy paracetomol in packs of ten or something now? Potential suicide candidates presumably being too distraught to buy some in Boots and pop back later for more or round the corner to Superdrug.

Without prescription Paracetamol may be purchased in packs of 16 or 32. No more than 32 tablets may be purchased at anyone time. Not so much to protect people who may wish to commit suicide but because the over use of Paracetamol can lead to kidney damage.

This is what I mean!...Are we all idiots and cannot fathom out for ourselves that the bloody thing contains nuts?
It clearly states that it is peanut butter FFS!
We'll be having bloody photographs as labels on everything next to assist our learning disability cousins. Packaging will have to be much bigger to accomodate all the text and pics which again will cause problems with recycling, either that or the text will get so much smaller and people will strain their eyes trying to read it.
Where does it all end and am I getting bloody ridiculous now? eeek:

Not entirely true actually.
You can go to somewhere like MAKRO and be sold a multipack of 12x16 tabs. I did just last week.

But technically you cannot buy from Makro unless you are a retailer and retailers can only legally sell a max of 32 to a customer at any one time. Yes, Yes, I know that we all have Makro cards and none of us are retailers but if you work for yourself it's not hard to get a card is it.

Yes Snoopy...agreed, but the point is it can be done.

Presumably Makro buy from the manufacturer is slightly larger quantities still?
-
Well I don't imagine the owner of the corner shop runs round fifteen branches of Boots to get their stock either. The point is that the limit on retail (over the counter) sale of Paracetamol is restricted to 32 tabs per customer at any given time.
Wholesalers, which include Makro, can sell as many as they like to Retailers and legally you have declared yourself to be a retailer when you applied for a Makro Card entitling you to shop there.
We all know how easy it is to circumvent all these "Laws" but the fact is that they do exist to prevent users of excessive quantities of paracetamol (mainly teenagers bent on "crying for help") from suffering kidney damage.

How many Anti-frivolity tablets can you buy at one time and which organ do you think they damage?
-
In my case Prescription Diazipam and they can also damage your sense of humour as I know to my cost. SORRY.
-
Worse still 'May Contain Nuts' appears on packets of Peanuts and there are salt warnings on salt!
The ones that worry me are these RDA ones they have started with now. Next time you're in Tesco's check out their Prawn Sandwiches, something along the line of 50% rda salt, 30% rda fat!
RDA for who exactly, I'm sure i must have exceeded my Recommended Lifetime Amount 20 years ago!

It's not only your SOH that is damaged evil: I am far too cynical to be amused. Half the country gets Paracetamol on scripts at a 100 a pop and 99% percent of the remainder knows someone that gets them.
My monthly script is for 112 Paracetamol and 112 Tramadol. The Tramadol is counted out precisely but they tend to just pop 200 Paracetamol in rather than split a hundred. I imagine they must be VERY low value.
Anyway, I take 112 of each every month and so accumulate 88 Paracetamol tablets every month. I supply everyone hereabouts with their Paracetamol needs and people tell me that the pack of 16 that they have to buy now, costs exactly the same as the 100 tubs did.
Not so much protecting lives as profits, most people seem to think. Most teens steal the pills from their parents anyway. The country is awash with Paracetamol and everyone knows it, that makes it a stupid law.
Then there is my Termazapam! It says taking this medicine MAY make me sleepy! ::) And, due to it being a controlled drug, I have to collect it personally so they won't accept faxes or proxies as they do for everything else.

That sounds like a nasty cocktail already Bouncer.
Paracetamol, if purchased in packs of 16 work out at about 1p a tablet as they are 16p a pack in Lidl, Asda, and our local Spar.
The thing that worries me about all the pills etc I take on prescription is that almost every pack contains a warning that says "Do not take" with some if not all of the others! rubschin:

It's not nice! That is why I only take half of what I could. I used to use co-codamol but apparently it's the codine that's the poison with tramadol rather than the paracetamol.
The lidocaine it seems is quite happy to be shared. rubschin:
Other than that, virtually everything I take recommends that I shouldn't. Does wonders for you mental health. noooo:
I feel utterly wretched today and it took over an hour to get them all down, sometimes I'm tempted to throw them all out and to hell with the consequences.
But last time I looked, paracetamol were costing about 35p for 8. So I guess there has been positive movement there. I haven't bothered to look lately as I have an inexhaustible supply. cry:

It's a sad sad day when you realise that your medicine cabinet is too small Bouncer point:
-
I understand what Bouncer means about taking the pills etc. There is a recognised "syndrome" but I cannot remember what it is called. Anyway I too often spend an hour staring at a handful of pills thinking "Must I?". I usually do end up taking them but sometimes it seems an awful effort and of course you just know that to do the job they are designed for they will also have some other effect on you as well. Every day you have to agree to accept the side effects as the price to be paid. It's a constant trade-off that sometimes you win and sometimes you don't. When you don't "they" give you something else to try and that brings a whole new set of side effects. sick2:
