I am faring much the same as I was, yesterday, Dere Gus. No worse, no better. Back off to bed, soon. I have managed an hour sitting up followed by an hour in bed (thereabouts) all day.
Best wishes to all for better health and sweet dreams,

I am dosing meself occasionally wiv Finnish aspirin (designed for Finnish hangovers; they have at least six different words for them, but the most generally recognised is krapula), and this is helping a lot even once the aspirin has worn off.

Thoroughly respectable Latin root. Crapulent is a perfectly good English word for being sick from excessive drinking

Itās a good recognisable term. Takes my Finnish vocab to, oooh, about seven words. Kiitti.

Once upon a time, many years ago, I confused crapulous (a word my father was fond of) with crepuscular. In an essay. Not as good as when I wrote a whole page and a half expanding on the habits of Teutonic platesā¦

You wake up feeling crapular, refrain from deep dismay:
Thereās no need to saw your head off - just haul yourself the bed off
And a brace of Finnish aspirin will make it go away
IME one would have to work very hard indeed to develop a serious hangover from Lapin, but stillā¦

Self-hatred because one is drinking the most boring beer in Finland, possibly. All right, in some places thatās the only beer they have. But e.g. Karhu is rather more interesting and still widely available.

Like where I live. If globular warming leads to a raising of the water levels then itāll be a short trip down the hill to what will have become a small harbour & a beach.
Thereās a silver lining to those clouds.

Hey, Armers: how are you doing the quoting? I am getting [quote=āGus, post:6191, topic:177ā] at the beginning and [/quote] at the end of your quote there. I find that all I have to do is highlight the bit I want to quote before I hit reply, and the board does it all for me, but is that not-working for you?
The silver lining includes the fact that the water will be just a little bit warmer for swimming in, too.

As long as, having done that, one starts typing on the next line, the quoting works
[quote=āFanta, post:6222, topic:177ā]
not-working
[/quote]is caused byplacing the cursor and starting typing immediately after, on the same line as, the closing parenthesis of the quoted chunk.

This is what Iāve always done. For some reason it didnāt work this time ā¦ so I guess I made some error.
Iāll try again later.

I was trying to establish whether it was something one did, or a glitch in the programme, really.
Now, hereās a question: if you went and edited you post so that you started a new line at āLikeā, would it then alter the post so that the quoting was right and my question looked silly?

It does.

Oh drat, Twellsy. You are getting more than your fair share of embuggerances at the moment. Hot halfuns sound a splendid idea.
