Only asked because I've been feeling dizzy last 3 days. I wondered if its because I've been eating a lot of salt n vinegar peanuts lately!

Have you been washing them down with Stella?

Funny enough, I did was some down with Stella raspberry cider Saturday night!..

Wash

If you put a good pinch in a glass of lager it gives it a big creamy head. The problem is, the more you drink the thirstier you get. You wake up next day with white lips and a blinding headache. (Many moons ago before you ask. Started as a prank on a pal and before we knew it we were all laughing like drains with pints of lager that looked like ice cream sodas.) Making me smile just remembering it.

Well, well, I think I might have a go at the old 'doctoring'. It's a doddle.
Might I ask why you're eating 'tons' of S&V peanuts?

[Patsy33]

I usually try to Avoid them Svejk, just craved them. Plus they were on offer! I threw the few remaining ones away this morning. I don't usually drink cider either, just love the taste of raspberries!

[Svejk]

To be honest, I can't see them doing you any harm. I used to eat family tubs of salted peanuts an Indian elephant would have struggled to get through.
If you keep feeling dizzy, you ought to go the doctor. ;o)

retrocop has got it in one. see 12 .47 post above.

I have tried to work out what you mean by "too much salt"......couldn't work out what you were getting at, but your subsequent post has cleared it up for me.

Very, very unlikely.......in fact.........no, it is not.

[Svejk]

I see my colleague concurs with me.

[Patsy33]

Thanks all.Its probably a virus then. It's settled down a bit but head feels weird.
