Yes. They\'re pretty common and I have one in my left eye that sometimes
masquerades as a mosquito. The onset in my right eye was much more
dramatic due to the blood diffusing in the fluid. It took a few days for
it to settle down to the point where the doctor could see the retina well
enough to do the laser welding.

Before my first big repair, I had a tear that dumped a bit of blood
into my humor. It looked like thousands of black dots swirling around.
(That retima soon detatched.)

The optics of seeing blood cells, or floaters, is strange. They must
be very close to the retina to cast a sharp shadow. Even a mm away
their image on the retina must be a blur. And just above our retina
object resolution must be microns or better.

Some floaters are amazingly complex and sharply imaged.

I watched my last retina repair, local anasthetic only. I could see
the shadows of all the tools, the green-dye injector and the tweezers
and other gadgets. The doctor and his nurse gave me a running
explanation and I could ask question when nothing critical was going
on.

I lived there for a brief period. At the

off or

I was born in 75 and I think there were silly laws like that here
then. Or it was severely limited. Supermarkets eventually won over
the silly rules.

Large stores in Britain still can\'t open for more than six hours on a
Sunday.

Back before the law allowed Sunday opening at all for most shops, our
local B&Q opened every Sunday (what else are people to do if they find
they are short of something to finish off a plumbing job on a Saturday
evening)? Every Sunday they were hit with a big fine. They continued to
open, because the (IIRC £10K fine, was easily outweighed by Sunday
trading profits).

The rules were crazy anyway - you couldn\'t buy a bible, but could buy a
pornographic magazine. You could buy medicines, but not a hearing aid
battery. Madness.

Anything concerning religion is madness.

New York State had a similar law but a souvenir shop could be open on
Sunday. One of the early versions of a mega-market claimed they were
selling souvenirs along with food, clothing, and so forth.

I forget which state it was but a market couldn\'t sell alcohol before noon
on Sunday so there were roll down fences I guess you would call them on
the beer coolers.

They could do what Jeremy Clarkson did on his farm. They had a license to sell farm food, but not souvenirs. So they sold a potato for £15, which came with a free tshirt.

Shops could be open on a Sunday, but could not sell most items.
Pornographic (and other) magazines counted as newspapers and so could be
sold, bibles could not.

That\'s beyond a joke, you can\'t sell a book about the religion which is preventing you selling the book? Do they not see the fallacy?

I assume you mean a 12V 60Ah lead acid for starting a car?

So people could actually starve? Wonderful religion that.

but sweets could. You could
go into pharmacy and buy medicines or razor blades, but they would not
sell you a hearing aid battery.

But the battery is to make the pharmaceutical device work, just as the battery is to make the car work.

Shops could sell parts and consumables for bikes, cars and (IIRC)
helicopters, but not building, plumbing or decorating items.

And if your house was flooding?

I forget which state it was but a market couldn\'t sell alcohol before noon
on Sunday so there were roll down fences I guess you would call them on
the beer coolers.

The last time I was there, the alcohol aisles of supermarkets in
Northern Ireland were in a section with separate doors that were closed
out of hours. Some tills were signed for buying alcohol with your normal
shopping and others prohibited it, despite them all being mixed up in a
single row.

Scottish shops do have licensed hours for alcohol sales,

Which is absurd, I\'ve seen my local supermarket putting up barriers on some aisles. What a farce and utter waste of time.

while English
(and possibly Welsh) shops can sell whenever they are open, so 24hrs a
day for many.

Yellow rubbery plastic - what did you expect?



The worst aspect I find of American cheeses is that \"Cheese Sauce\" that
literally comes in a ketchup bottle. When reading the ingredients, the
closes you will get to real cheeese is \"milk\" and \"Cheese flavouring\"
Everythign else is all oils/fats, salt, sugar, colourings, preservatives
etc.

Its now made its way into restaurant chains where when one orders a
Plate of nachos, instead of being covered in REAL grated cheddar cheese,
its now slathered in this thick yellow sauce!

I actually have to ask the staff that I want REAL cheese, not this
yellow sauce!

Decades ago I had a recipe that used cottage cheese for the base to which
you added grated cheddar to make a sauce. I\'ve tried to replicate it from

I thought I was the only person in existance to be addicted to cottage cheese. There\'s only two brands here which taste any good. \"Grahams\" (Scottish) and some Polish brand I can\'t spell.
