well.........without getting too out of order i reckon getting a bit pissed most nights is fine!! i.e: i have a beer or two most nights of the week.

how does this fit in with safe drinking levels.21 units eh.

i bet you wouldn't advise your patients to drink this much.

[fatdoc]

just a beer or two....

not 6 cans of cider and a bottle of sweet sherry mate!

[webbo]

i find that most people admit to drinking less than they really do when talking to a doctor.especially health professionals.
do you talk to your self.

[webbo]

i assessed a gentleman this morning who was referred to my mental health team as he now had his alcohol use in control.
question. do you drink more than 2 bottles of spirits or 30 pints of beer or 8 bottles of wine a day.
answer.yes if i can.
thats some controlled drinking.

go to sainsburys, plenty of students live in york and i'm sure they don't pay the prices you quote for food, to be honest the "junk food is cheaper" thing seems like a cop out.

It aint a cop out Paul.

Like i say, come pay day 3 month shop at Tesco - see me through till Spring.

Even Sainsbury's is too expensive for the amount of cash i have available.

I've done the looking and checking... trust me. If i could afford to do a decent shop for decent food i would do.

As for the students, every student i know has just been given a god damned loan/grant and is loaded.

Surely even York city centre's M&S would be cheaper than a take away and presumably better for you? Last time I passed one I picked up a load of "nutritionally balanced" microwavable / oven-ready meals on special-offer that were pretty nice.  Their tinned chille and bolognaise sauces are also quite good and often on offer (and so they should be - around £2 a tin normally).  To be honest though, when post-climb famished I can rarely resist a large big helping of beans on toast (with a bit of chille powder and cumin etc mixed in, and shed-loads of pepper on top).

Sadly none of these options give that fantastic feeling of "dirtyness" that a kebab shop can provide - their offerings are about so much more than just getting fed.... (an  "I'm being a bad boy... but I deserve it" kinda thing?).

a well reknown alcoholic of my town, once went to the doctor for a check up, in the early morning. the doctor felt his liver and asked him: do you drink? and he replied: yes thank you, where we go?

GOD.....

didnt realize you a mental health professional


and i agree, that is one of the most outrageous examples of more than slightly over 21 units a week i've ever seen, including when i worked on a liver unit!!!

M&S probably is cheaper.. shame its 3 miles from where i live, isnt open when i'm off work, and is 10 miles away from where i do work so i cant visit at lunch time.

I've checked out every single possible opporunity to get proper food - it just doesnt work.

If i had a car... then yeah, i could get up to ASDA on a night and buy some healthy cheap food - but stuck with the circumstances that i have... nope. Until payday... roll on a week Friday.  

Anyway - this kinda turned into a bash the newbie and tell him that he;s always wrong....  

[fatdoc]

no newbie bash......

let's all be nice to eachother

i'm sure peeps were trying to b helpful, if construed as a bashing let's all say big sorry and help the poor sod out of a shite food spiral.

however, one does have to say, if the kebab diet is pure meat (not doner), with good salad and sensible dressing....... that's a truly balanced meal!!!! i make this sort of thing a lot

Paul - I'd be interested to hear about the rates for the organic food home delivery service? Is it a national business or local to Sheffield?

Aye... i know webbo.

Just work gets in the way.

T'is alright now though, managed to scrimp spare change together last night at home (amazing what you can find down the back of the sofa!!) and i bought a large bag of brown rice. I'll get by with what odds i have in the house together with the rice.
