Build up of fat Mark. Basically it's balls of cholesterol blocking up the gallbladder which is the part of the body that releases the bile into your stomach to break fats down. If it can't do its job it backs up, the fats can't digest and the bile backs up which in turn causes the liver to stop functioning properly. Makes you feel proper crap and can cause all sorts of issues if not sorted. I'll be glad when it's done with. In short stick to a healthy diet!
all the best.. Dave &Viv.
Excellent mate. I'll add you to the list. You've got the last slot I think.
That's what the vicar said!
Will you have a +1 with you for the meal Mark?
Will check with Michelle in the morn Dave and update you if ok?
No probs
Not just a UK problem unfortunetly except i think in the USA where if you have a ton of cash you're in, no money you wait and wait. Just cost my cousin close to $80k US to stay in hospital when her twins were born. JIM
How much! That's obscene!
I know, and agree they have to pay big $$$ for insurance but if you can't afford it you have a major problem. Obama put in health insurance for the poor and met with nothing but resistance for doing so. It seems they'd just as soon lose the poor in their country than allow them affordable care. JMO JIM
With all its waiting lists, we are lucky to have the NHS. And free prescriptions (in Wales)
Keep off the brandy is my advice, a nice drop of beer is better, we will have to lead you astray when your over your ops 
Bloody hell Grumpmeister your going through the mill. Never had them myself but a couple of mates have and my sister in law, not nice.Guess who's back in hospital again! Lasted a whole 24 hours this time. Jack and Jue bought me in about 9 last night after another stone started to move. Bloody agony again! Just been delivered back to the same ward. They all looked so pleased to see me! I've asked for the minor op for the stones to be removed to be brought forward as I can't keep going through the pains and not knowing when the next ones coming. The answer was "well nothing will happen till at least Tuesday cos it's a bank holiday!" Really? My faith in the NHS is sinking fast.
Lol don't like the curtain much Hugh!
