So, a passenger taps his taxi driver on the shoulder. The driver shits himself, swerves, nearly hits a bus, and stops inches from a shop window. "F**k me, you're jumpy aren't you?" says the passen

Just a cool link between the three above posts revealed by a quick wiki search.   Arthur Sullivan, composer partner of the team Gilbert and Sullivan who wrote Mikado, was catapulted to fame

Ah yes, I remember them well. The excruciating pain as the tiny lego bricks dig in to your unprotected bare feet in the dark.

Alpha-blocker

 

Side Effects. Alpha-blockers can reduce blood pressure, which may cause dizziness lightheadedness, and fainting. Orthostatic hypotension, a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing, can occur and increases the risk of falling. Taking the medication close to bedtime can help reduce these side effects. Because of the reduced blood pressure side effect, do not take phosphodiesterase inhibitors [such as sildenafil (Viagra)] at the same time, at least without advice from a doctor.

Alpha-blockers can also cause headache, and stuffy or runny nose. Men may also experience a decreased ejaculate. (Erectile dysfunction is not a usual side effect of alpha-blockers, as it is with finasteride and dutasteride.)

A special concern for tamsulosin (Flomax), and other selective alpha-blockers, is that they are associated with a condition called intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS). IFIS is a loss of muscle tone in the iris that can cause complications during eye surgery. Patients who are planning cataract or other eye surgery should be sure to inform their doctors prior to the surgery. IFIS appears more likely to occur with the newer, selective alpha-blockers than non-selective alpha blockers.

Cowes.....that brings back a few memories. The Cowes Torquay Powerboat race of 1975. Went as navigator on the Ford Entry, "Fordspeed Too".  One of the rudders fell off at the start and the skipper refused to pull out. Instead had a diver remove the second rudder and steered her on the Trim Tabs all the way there and back. Never been so terrified in my life. But hey, he won his class "Diesel", using twin Ford Sabre Turbocharged engines and clocking up 80 Knots.....just broke out in a cold sweat remembering it.
