Weblog entry #142 for ajt
See all weblog entries made by ajt.
Last week I hurt my back, it's gradually getting better but it does mean I've taken a lot of painkilling and anti-inflammatory agents. It's nothing serious and I'm mostly okay today.
Today I went into my local Tesco to buy aspirin, paracetamol and ibuprofen*. Stupid Tesco won't sell me them because it's more than two "pain-killers". The law actually only restricts paracetamol and aspirin, ibuprofen is excluded. It's stupid, there is enough paracetamol in two packets (16 g) cause liver damage even in an adult!
* Different modes of action and efficiency - I like to have one of each at work in case I or a colleague get a head ache.

I know it's all security theatre, but it keeps the politicians happy...

I too like having various pain killers available where I work - they keep the *clients* at bay :-D
Get well soon :)

Most of mine end up inside my colleagues, I almost never actually take any of them myself. Now and then when I have a cold or back pain I actually take them...
