    Eleven units per week? When I do go out, I can drink eleven units in an hour and a half. I shall continue to do so if my pension permits.

    They don't seem to realise that the more preposterous these statements are the less notice people will take of them.

    I got as far as "Royal College of Psychiatrists" and took that as my hint to stop reading, I still don't believe it is a science.

    Not really news of the day but, the outrage from Scottish and Welsh FA's has left me wondering if the Welsh FA are going to tell Swansea that they are not to play in the English Premiership?

    I would have thought with all the hoo haa over extending pension age etc the Government would be please to give us oldies a few free pints daily, so we can pop off earlier & save on the pension deficit

    Hope your MP's don't read this as I am sure they must be debating ways to get oldies off the bill.

    Third attempt at posting and may give up if I keep getting "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page" every time I want top post something. I have always used post quick reply so cannot understand why it has become so frustrating to post now.

    To answer the question it is the new release of the forum software that is doing this. It is trying to save your posts so that if you lose it (I know a few of us have done this) it is recovered. In your case I am suspicious that the connection is slow and it is tripping over itself. In terms of what to do, I would say <ctrl> + <F5> if you have not already done it. Try clicking on yes when asked if you want to navigate away from the page. And possibly see how it is if you use Reply to thread rather than Quick Reply (let me know if this works, as I know it isn't ideal and we still need to get Quick Reply working for you).
