Nevermind the Horlicks ...

[Guest guest]

Horlicks * is* one of those milk malty drinks and so if off topic for this list

but it is as British as Marmite soldiers. Soldiers being little fingers of toast

for dipping into your war time egg yokes ...

 

actually, I reckon weak Marmite tea is a damn site better way to imbibe the

stuff than on any sort of toast, the results of which is positively *ganting* [

to recap on the dialect of my youth.

 

But nevermind the bollocks, " Nevermind the Horlicks " does seem to be On Topic

right now.

 

Auntie Beeb is going to running a series on the effects of punk call such and

there was a really poignant quote from one first generation punk.

 

" we are about as relevant today as listening to Bill Haley was in 1976 " . I did

the maths on it and the thought was frightening. Good God it is true, another 25

years have gone by.

 

I dont know about getting any " alternative therapy " off my doctor. may be the

health service is better where you are than in the East End. Over here they dont

seem to play ball with anything unconventional. wont give appointments to the

Royal Homeopathic Hospital or anything. How long it took me ever to get a blood

test off them ... [ and the hospital was surprised because I came through with

flying colours wihtout taking suppliments ].

 

that chinese doctor does a whole load of different injections including herbal

vitamin mixes that really kick ass. and it is nice to be in control of what you

want when you want. do anyting via the NHS takes 6 months plus even if you are

dying.

 

anyone in the UK know if veg friend alternative private health care insurance

companies?

Great. Now you now how I feel. It gets worse. When the next bunch

start

worrying about being old you know you've really had it. You'll start

saying the police look like kids soon.

If I ever get stuffed in an old peoples home I expect them to be

force

feed me " we all live in a yellow submarine " . I think I'll top myself

instead.

 

I've seen a veggie/vegan rest home advertise itself in the vegan mag.

Now that sounds great - they'll force feed dylan and curved air

instead

- that I could take. It conjures up wonderful visions of rocking

geriatrics, alternative healthcare, coping with aches and pains by

doping the days away, coach trips to protest marches and Glastonbury,

visits from a yoga teacher instead of visits from the vicar, eco

passing out ceremonies. Think I'll book my place now.

 

Serious side though. Community living for vegan oldies really makes

sense. Pooling money, resources, skills and labour.Employing younger

vegans for a year or two and passing on knowledge. Think how

brilliant

a shared garden could be. Is there anything like that?

 

And no I'm not THAT old - yet. Just hitting my middle aged crisis and

wondering what to do next.
