Spent a chunk of today on my back fastening/unfastening table tops, only managed a few then had to stop - dizzy and nauseous as b*ggery!
With age I'm -as expected- losing agility, suppleness, et al and have aches and strains all over, but this!!!
Is it yet another age thing, or am I turning into some sort of spaz.

It's age mate, it creeps up on you.
When I think about all the things I used to be able to do with ease that would leave me ****ed now it terrifies me.

It must be age Nathan. Us old buggers don't do PC!! And "spaz" definitely isn't PC <laugh>:emoticon-0136-giggl
 
Wish I'd spent a chunk of today lying on my back unfastening tops. <laugh>

Seriously, I should ask your doc about this. Dizzy and nauseous from lying down sounds a bit odd, unless you're compressing your chest in some way. You could try putting a cushion or similar under your shoulders. That might take some pressure off your rib cage. Failing that, ask the doc.

Ah yes, the Australopithicus Wars. I remember them so well, somewhere down in Tanzania. It was only about 12 million years ago, y'know. Day before yesterday really. We learned to cook our food over a fire shortly afterwards. Damn sight easier on the teeth and gums, that was, I must say.

Er ... may I just say something to you three young gentlemen please? - In strictest confidence of course

B*LLOCKS!

Ta, but. . . . . I have one (pos two) trips to this ship to finish these tables, me and a mag, and there's no chance am I taking a cushion.
