Well no wonder I felt so shit after taking those dispersible aspirin.
Believe it or not am I actually very healthy and as fit as a butchers dog. I run 5k every nite.
Anyhoo... enuff of my ailments.
Guys... we already have a bread & cheese thread. Do we really have to start a paracetamol & aspirin one?

I was on about aspirin. Paracetamol most certainly isn't an anti inflammatory.
I say we digress back to toasties, that was the original derailment of this thread ;)
Sounds good to me. Haven't had a ham and cheese toastie for years. Gonna dig out the Breville now ;-)
