Mrs Growler has already read the article, and is pretty damned pissed off about it.
Too many weekend training courses now being held for anyone to go on to become a so called acupunturist.
She studied for 3 long tiresome years in York, and at great expense to get her Dip.Ac. MRTCM.

I'm very sympathetic to that view G. I've had acupuncture from a so called Chinese doctor which was total crap yet also had treatment from a chap here in London that was brilliant ~ depends on the practitioner.

My sciatica was remedied by Tai Chi & Chi Kung practice about twelve years ago and like the guy with the Remington shaver, I was so impressed I've been doing it ever since. I know it works and there's also a load of medical studies now that come to the same conclusion.

Shite indeed  lol:. Just been reading up on Nick's dilemma; very unfortunate.

The trip was very successful, the task accomplished and the company delighted. But.... and a painful but, I had a twinge on the knee - I blame exiting from a taxi - which got worse and nine hours of flying yesterday fair crippled me  sad32:

I couldn't get off the plane at Gatwick... had to use the buggy (which incidentally is by far the best way to get through passport control and customs!)
Anyway painkillers for tea tonight!

Btw, they all seem to think I'madinnerjacket is a complete nutter too  lol:

I've been having hypnotism recently. After three appointments, twenty-odd years of my life being affected is already becoming a distant memory. And yes, she is  eyes:
