Do people still get ME? It was all the rage 25 years ago but dont hear about it anymore.

A recent study in the US says an increase in ME cases is likely linked to COVID infections.

Yes. I’m out this week at my place in Spain and my neighbour, an elderly gentleman from NI, has it. When he’s on form he’s absolutely brilliant, he just goes for it. But speaking to his wife about it, once he wears himself out he’s basically bed bound for days. He’s such a lovely man too. Our time here crossed over for 3 days and while I saw her I didn’t get to see him at all as he just wasn’t well enough to even make it to the balcony (a place he loves being on).

I remember when we were at school our mate’s mum had ME but we all assumed she was just a lazy cow.

I remember back in c2000 a lad we knew had ME, he'd be out clubbing all weekend in London and Bournemouth but too fucked to go to work all week due to his ME.

Maddisons 

Edit, actually probably shut down by 2000. I went to uni in Bournemouth, let’s just say it was my formative years. Fucking loved that place. Rhino was incredible and home but Maddison’s was where it all started 😍

Manor took some beating for me, great place. Academy/Opera House was good too. Maddison’s was great tbf

 

remember when they opened the Academy in Southampton and people said it was going to be like the Bournemouth one, it was okay for Southampton I guess but bang average.  orange Rooms on the other hand very good

London Home, Fabric, Voodoo Lounge. ministry of sound very overrated IMO

rhino was very good back in the late 90s too.

Best club in Southampton was The Wall - behind the Walls. Small, underrated.

My daughter was diagnosed with it last year. It tends to be called "CFS" these days (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and is lumped in with Long Covid in terms of coping strategies.

Adults who go to the golf and then are desperate to put their hand out to touch a golfers as they are walking between shots. Does it make you feel good getting a dismissive brush from a professional? They are not Jesus!

People using the rotary swimsuit driers in changing rooms who won’t stop until their trunks have turned into dust. A bloke in my gym this morning was going at it for a solid minute.

Pro-golfer Jesus would be the first to tell them that those are not the handicaps his touch heals. And that the word is now considered to be offensive.
