Well? Do I?

Have you been down on any ginger birds lately!?

You should probably avoid servicing your bike in such an intimate way.

slightly insensitive.

don't know but metal mickey is smiling.

Try NHS Direct on 0845 4647

"the most common causes of a metallic taste are:

Medications such as some antibiotics, prenatal vitamins and antidepressants, as well as drugs used to treat high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis and kidney stones
Oral problems, including oral infections such as gingivitis or periodontitis, tooth infections, and poor oral hygiene
Sometimes the cause of a metallic taste can't be determined. In many cases, the problem goes away on its own after several months or longer. Proper oral hygiene can help, including regularly brushing your teeth and brushing and scraping your tongue. Done properly, dental restorations — such as fillings and inlays — are rarely the cause a metallic taste."

what does that mean?

From the subject and timing of your post you would seem to be taking the piss out of a forum member in a way that (if this is what you are doing) is not appreciated.

To make myself clear- if this is intended as a parody of DFP then you are a cock.

dunno who dfp is. sorry mate.

what does that mean?

That my impression is that you were attempting to take the piss out of the plight of one of our friends who - perhaps inadvisedly - earlier posted details of his medical situation. If I'm mistaken, my (lukewarm) apologies.
I suspect that they are unmerited...

My point exactly

just scan read the thread. i had not seen it when i posted. i was not taking the piss.

believe me, or don't.

oh, and my apologies DFP if you thought i was being a dick. i hope your ailment turns out to be nothing major.

Found the dfp thread very quickly for someone who professed not to know his name...
BTW, it's a taste of oranges before the brain tumour - according to Joseph Heller anyway

some IV drugs give you a metal taste. had any of those lately new?

6 minutes. not that quick really. (it was the top thread in 'Private')

anyway, like i said, believe me or don't.
