Hm it depends if the varicocele goes away with the reduced bloodflow through the veins leading to it. If it doesn't, then I'll have to go back for surgery to actually remove the veins entirely. It could be a few weeks before it really has an effect because the veins need to shrink with the reduced bloodblow before the varicocele will stop being so prominent. I'm really hoping I don't have to go back because it's already been two years of struggling with a really sore swolen testicle and I just hope this will finally be it. The success rate is really high for blocking the veins off this way with less invasive surgery so I'll just have to see really. Removing the vein/veins with surgery is a lot rougher and would have a long recovery time. Sure as anything hoping I aint gotta go back

After two years of trying to get the doctors to take me seriously, I finally got a varicocele embolisation done yesterday. It wasn't terrible but it's not the comfiest thing ever either. It was a little sad because every time I'd go in about it, I'd say the exact same thing and they'd tell me it was something different every time. I can tell you I'm definately the most tested chlamydia free man in britain because they gave me a test for it ever time I went in about it for two years. Yes doc, I'm pretty sure it's still not chlamydia I was even dismissed from urology with "no significant results" when the ultrasound guy was like, "woah nelly that's one big varicose vein you have in there". No significant results my behind in the end, they admitted the vein they found a year ago was likely the cause and NOW they'd do something about it. So far things seem to be ok so here's hoping my veins wont explode and kill me any time soon I'll also have to wait to see what effect it has on the varicocele, as it may not have much of an effect on it. Mine is rare as it's on the right side when usually it's on the left side over 90% of the time. They went in from the left leg to get to my right side through my abdomen which was strange but it's apparantly easier to do it that way because it's so often the left side that's affected haha and now I have bits of piano wire floating around in my veins I'm so looking forwards to the next time I go under a metal detector to find out if I now I set them off

I've put mine on. The other night it smelled like it was going to snow. If you don't know what I mean you'll think I'm crazy, but at a certain temperature the air has a really cool and crisp smell to it that you only get when it's cold enough to snow. Colder than that and it has a different smell to it. When I went to work in the morning there was a fresh dusting on snow on the mountain. My nose tells no lies!

Jumped around to that track in many a club in my younger years That is actually where my name comes from. The first 'alternative' electronica band I owned many years ago and got me started in my musical journey. Swords is my favourite track by them by far. It doesn't matter what I end up liking, leftfield will always be my first You'd probably really like my favourites list on youtube - there's more alternative electro than you can shake a stick at. I only favourite the best

And now for something completely different! This song gets me to work and back, good stuff ja Currently going through an electro phase but I'm into lot of genres. On a side note, this song is what I should have my alarm set to to wake me up with because how could you be in a bad mood listening to this? Electroswing at its finest. Classy

overclockers if you want the company. I read about their terrible customer service after I had everything here or I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Seriously, any independant review site is full of stories just like mine. Never again. I know that cpu does not work so there is no way at all they got it to "post fine".

Yup, that's what I thought too. I'm having the run around with this company I bought it from. They had it "tested" and claimed it "posts fine" which is histerical to me because I couldn't get it to "post fine" in two systems as someone who's more than experienced with building PCs and running them. It's funny that another cpu worked in both when that one didn't work in either. I bet when I got it back it wouldn't even have thermal paste on it because I wiped it all off before I gave it back to them so I'd know if they even bothered to test it.
They've sent it back to me with a £12.50 "testing fee", but I've just asked for my money back and to just cancel the order completely. I hope I'm still in my rights to do so as I sent it back as I got it and it's within 7 days of receiving it that they had it back in their posession. If they belive it works, they're welcome to it - I don't want it.
I had a broken case off them in this order as well and I asked not to have a replacement sent - I just wanted to show them it was broken to support my broken cpu case, but they sent me one anyway like they're not even listening to what I'm telling them. Only the front two pegs holding the front panel were snapped so it still does work, and I have no space or need for another.
If they cancel this order and at least give me most of my money back I'll be happy (lord knows they'll want to slap a nice "restocking fee" on me), and just buy a new cpu off someone else, and never again will I buy from those cowboys.

So I built a new computer and it just flat out would not boot. Fans would spin but that's it, nothing else happening.
I go ahead and try a different CPU from a working system and voila, I get into the bios no problem on the next boot.
I use the cpu that I think doesn't work in the working system I took the working cpu out of and lo and behold, that system also will not boot until I change the cpus back.
Am I safe to conclude I have a dud cpu or is there something major I'm missing here?

Yeah I saw I'd just missed the last HC buy but I'll survive. I'll break into the lemon soda until the next one. Should get another 6 months out of that or so I have so many other flavours but I've not touched them in months since I got caramel soda. I could live off of that for the rest of my life easily. I appreciate you looked through your supply for me but I'll have to pass up on the others as I'm not sure if I would like them or not so it could be a potential waste. I'll hang on until the next buy

Does anyone stock caramel soda flavouring? I got one from health cabin months ago and I've used it exclusively since and I'm almost out! Egad! I'm not sure if anyone else sells it but I'd sure like to get my hands on some again

www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk/products/cartomiser-systems/ce2-clearomiser/510-xl-clearomiser-clear-5-pack-2-product.htmlwww.stellacigs.co.uk/electronic-cigarette-cartomisers/29-ce2-cartomiser.htmlMission accomplished hur! Never leave me again CE2's haha, what would I do if everyone stopped selling them? I'll probably need to break the bad news to kev, those new ones just flat out don't have long enough tubes for the length of the guts. I've already burned a hole out of one of the tubes as well . I vape at 5v and use vg with my CE2's, just with the older seals I could really get juice in there to let it keep up with my demands but the lack of space between the seal and drip tip is just not allowing as good a flow and I literally can't cut those seals any higher. They're just not the same! Edit: I found my 3ml DB syringes and cut a longer case and finally, this is how it's how it's meant to be! Just an extra half a cm of space between the drip tip and seal was all it needed. I compared the new ones to my usual ones and the cases are the exact same length but the guts ARE half a cm longer in the new ones compared to the usual ones so there's half a cm less space because the cup is higher.

Yeah I'll consider it for sure if I can't make my own longer casing. I can reuse the old seals and I actually just modded the "new" seal so it's really similar to the old style seals. All it needs is a longer tube because the cup is sitting seriously high up and I can't change that. You literally couldn't fit cling film between the drip tip and cup seal so there's no space for condensation or juice spatters so I'm getting hot juice in my mouth a lot which isn't cool. I'll see about it tomorrow if I can wrench the tube off and put a longer one on. Really all it needs and I'd be fine to do it if it means I have working CE2's again

Oh, yeah, that was the last place I ordered from and got multi coloured ones that have the cup sitting way too high. They are CE2's (XL Ultimate Clearomizers| 1| 8.52 GBP| 8.52 GBP - is what I ordered), they're just not the usual ones I get sent from there They really aren't cutting it for me and I don't want to wait up 4 - 5 days to get some replaced if you know what I mean lol Nicotine me Oh just noticed, yeah it's changed to "XL CE2 Clearomizers Plus" now and says they're multi coloured. They're nowhere near as good as the usual CE2s, I can't get along with them at all. If I can find my old syringes I can cut a longer tube so I'm not burning my mouth every time I want to take a drag

I really can't find anyone who sells CE2s anymore. They're either the short ones or the coloured ones that have the cup way too high so my drip tip gets so hot so fast. Anyone know if anyone still sells the ultimate CE2s anymore? I need my faithful CE2's! Thanks

I can't go higher than 8mg either. I'm so used to the throat hit on 8mg that anything higher is too strong on my throat as well. I really rarely buy premade juices anymore but I'm always prepared to dilute it with some vg then add some flavour to it with my wide selection of flavours I get the shakes and a really bad congested feeling with a pounding headache if I overdo the nic, 8mg seems to be my level. I've used 12mg before and it hit me so fast compared to the 8mg I was used to. Kinda weird but that's what my body does with even a slightly higher nic level.
