jonno_2004 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I remember sitting in first class from Liverpool to London, two people in the carriage including me, this huuuge fat woman gets on and her allocated seat just happens to be next to mine doesn't it? She could hardly squeeze under the table to get into the seat. The tickets were going at around £150 at time as well, if I'd paid that I would have been fuming.

mjmooney Posted May 6, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2011 Sex and coffee 'trigger stroke' By James Gallagher Health reporter, BBC News Coffee, sex and blowing your nose could increase the risk of a type of stroke, say researchers in the Netherlands. The study on 250 patients identified eight risk factors linked to bleeding on the brain. They all increase blood pressure which could result in blood vessels bursting, according to research published in the journal Stroke. The Stroke Association said more research was needed to see if the triggers caused the rupture. More than 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke each year with nearly 29,000 due to bleeding on the brain. Bleeding can happen when a weakened blood vessel, known as a brain aneurysm, bursts. This can result in brain damage or death. The researchers at the University Medical Center in Utrecht looked at 250 patients for three years to identify what triggers ruptures. Caffeine danger They found that coffee was responsible for more than one in 10 burst brain aneurysms. Percentage of bursts due to: Coffee 10.6% Vigorous exercise 7.9% Nose blowing 5.4% Sex 4.3% Straining to defecate 3.6% Drinking cola 3.5% Being startled 2.7% Being angry 1.3% While people drinking coffee had only a 1.7 times greater risk, it is more common than other risk factors. Being startled increased the risk by more than 23 times, but was responsible for just 2.7% of cases. Dr Monique Vlak, a neurologist and the study's lead author, said: "All of the triggers induce a sudden and short increase in blood pressure, which seems a possible common cause for aneurysmal rupture." Lower risk The authors said one in 50 people has a brain aneurysm, but only a few rupture. Dr Vlak advised that: "Reducing caffeine consumption or treating constipated patients with unruptured intracranial (brain) aneurysms with laxatives may lower the risk of subarachnoid haemorrhage." The study only looked at the triggers for the burst. High blood pressure weakens blood vessels in the first place and can be caused by being overweight, smoking and a lack of exercise. Dr Sharlin Ahmed, Research Liaison Officer at The Stroke Association said: "A sudden surge in high blood pressure can increase the likelihood of an aneurysm rupturing. However, it's very difficult to determine whether the triggers identified in this study are definitely related to the onset of a stroke as they could simply be put down to coincidence. "A lot more research needs to be carried out to assess whether each of the identified triggers could directly cause an aneurysm to rupture."

BOF Posted May 6, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 6, 2011 /\ Holding in a sneeze does it too i.e. where you do the sneeze but don't let it out. That can develop into quite a serious one if you're a habitual holder inner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I spoke to a right wally earlier. I work in a bank and obviously, we can only give out account details to people who can answer security questions over the phone. I spoke to an elderly sounding man earlier Today and because I couldn't identify him, I had to explain that I couldn't give him any details to do with the account. He then reeled out this nonsense about "This is why this countries going to pot!" Yup.. This countries going to pot because you CAN'T be given account details to do with an account that you have nothing to do with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
