Pet Peeves

Just getting over the vaccine flu and I've gotten a whopper of a toothache this evening.

Dental pain has to be up there with the most irritating ailments going, there is no respite until you get s filling or a root canal. I'm already overdosing on the ibuprofen and it's doing nothing. No sleep for the big lad, even though there's some welcome rain and wind out. Fuck sake!

It's the fucking worst and makes it impossible to even think of anything else until it's sorted. I've often thought about how bad that must have been in like the middle ages when there was nothing could be done about it.

Have many here gotten the vaccine?

Have many here gotten the vaccine?

Yep. Got the Astra. Due to get my second dose on Monday. Kinda dreading it. Was in a heap for a day or so after the first one.

I have been told the second one isn't as bad and people who felt shit after the first were fine for the second.

I've still got a cough after the first one (2½ weeks ago) with a wonderful side effect of being deaf in my left ear. It's not blocked, I've been dosing it with ear drops and it's making no difference. Appointment made with the doctor, but it's still more than a week away. I'm worried it's going to be permanent TBH.

[Blackout]

I've only heard of lads getting dodgy after astra/modern. Anyone I know who's had pfizer said theyd just a sore arm.

[livingabortion]

Yeah there has been bad stories about the side effects/knock on effects of the AstraZeneca, blood clots etc. too.


Cough and deaf in one ear? Jesus that's bad. I hope the Doctor will be able to fix that for you. I've been putting it off a bit.




I saw this about AstraZeneca: "The show must go on. But if you got the AstraZeneca vaccine, you're not invited,"

I got the Pfizer, which seems to be the least problematic. Hopefully the sawbones can sort it out. Possibly it's a ruptured eardrum or something, which should heal in time. Fuck knows but waiting 'til Tuesday week (four weeks to the day from my first jab) for an apointment is a pisser, if it's connected.

[livingabortion]

Pfizer is meant to be one of the better ones isn't it?
I wish they could all be like the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, one and done.

Dogs' farts. Fucking hell.

[livingabortion]

Dogs' farts. Fucking hell.

Yes. Vile.

Another thing I hate is when people let their dogs empty their guts on the street and don't clean it up after them. Filthy.

[Mr Barlow]

Just got the second dose there, so fingers crossed !

Jetlag. We landed in Darwin around 10am local time, were brought to our quarantine cabins and crashed for around three hours in the afternoon. Got up then and stayed awake till around half nine or ten. I thought,  great, maybe I'll sleep till the morning and get a full night's sleep and beat the jetlag. Wide awake here since 12.30am and it's now 2am. Going to be all over the fucking shop for the next week

Good to see the Northern Territory advertising is attracting visitors to Darwin and the top end
