Rheumatoid arthritis?
Is the correct answer.
I will have finished the course of steroids later this week - just hoping the pains do not come back. The past (almost) 4 weeks have been fantastic. Not a pain (well, apart from Eric;) ) to be felt.

We have a registered charity, started by the radio station and all the proceeds from a Reggae and Ska festival i have helped organise this weekend are going to this charity.
This other station has been spreading the rumour that we are skimming the money to pay for the running of the station and to pay for various goodies my boss has skinted himself to pay for.
Thats just sick.
Then, which is a prime example of how petty they are, they have copied something from our facebook site, word for word and then something else appeared on their FB page which was so laughable i wanted to ignore it but couldn't. In fact it's so silly i don't want to repeat it on here, but it peed me off.

Not only that, but we played only 10 men so that I could take turns subbing out my four injured players one at a time. This against a team that had 12 subs on their bench.

What did he/she say? Rewind
What was that red book on the bookshelf in the background? Rewind.
Was that a jar of strawberry or raspberry jam on the kitchen table ? Rewind
Was the wallpaper really that hideous? Rewind
Am I the only one?
Guess I probably am. :(
I do annoy my wife by continually stopping programmes to point out people in the audience etc. who in some way look freaky.
But, it is very useful for pausing programmes, taking a deep breath, rolling my eyes, and looking at her when she has the gall to try to speak to me when something I want to watch is on.

Hardly, they bash the fish to death first. :D
The reason is so the spines dont get stuck in the throat.
Found this-
On return to the perch, it repeatedly strikes the fish against the perch to kill it. Only then will the spines in the fins of some species such as sticklebacks relax to allow the bird swallow it, head first.
