Sharkie Feb 2018 6:31pm, 17 Feb 2018 13,045 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie My newt is a bit odd: I asked a pharmacist, like you're supposed to but I never have. In Dalston's busy Superdrug I actually said, 'Is it possiblt to speak to the pharmacist please?' It was, I did and she was very knowledgeable and helpful. And the second health proffessional to go on at me about probiotics! The healthy gut flora message seems to be getting through. (I'm pretty sure my insides are generally crawling with healthy bacteria the amount and variety of vegetables and fermented stuff I eat, but I do know antibiotics zap away at everything willy nilly. Well I know now!)

Sharkie Feb 2018 9:46pm, 17 Feb 2018 13,046 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie I love the way she says kef-FEAR. I have another small but pleasing newt: The first time an athletics meet I competed in being mentioned on national telly! It's the British Indoor Champs today and the commentator mentioned CJ Ujah getting a PB at Newham. 'My Sharkie was there!' Raffo told his computer (I was working on mine).
