Looks like a good idea for a episode of midsomer murders.

Do any of those actually work? I get such bad hayfever and when I tried some medication last timer for it it did nothing. I just sit it out now.

There are like 5 variants of hay fever meds you can get, only 1 needs prescription for, although you can still get it if you have a chat with a pharmacist.

There are also nasal spray, which are anti inflammatory than antihistamine. These takes a constant use for a few days for the drug to build up in the system to help the sinuses.

I found cetinzine and Loratadine does nothing at all for me, I even took them both together, or double the dose, zilch, nothing.

Then I tried Acrivastine which is much much better, combine with beconase spray I have been "cured" since using his combo.

But everyone is different, I would suggest you speak to your GP if you are suffering badly from it.

Cant say I've heard of that! I was just having a look at some second hand vinyl saw those two and thunderball and thought ill have that. Did see back to the future as well but at 35quid I gave it a miss for now.

Not using it until I've replaced my motherboard and processor (upgrading to haswell).

Only trouble with the nasal sprays is that they can only be used continuously for like a month else it starts to thin the lining of the nose and you lose the sense of smell.

My GP said the pollen in the air at the moment are only due to last for about a week or so anyway. He mentioned something about grass pollen? and it has been a late summer.

Yup, mine got so bad I went to see my GP.

I'm planning to buy the Corsair Carbide 540 case, think I'll really need to replace the fans? I'd rather not spend more than I'm already going to be spending on this haswell upgrade (£450ish worth still to buy).

Whoop my pre-oder from Amazon just gave me my key for Steam.

Mr_Orange · 9 Jul 2013 at 10:39

Got a bargain this morning. Amazon MP3 had a box set of all 14 of Pink Floyds studio albums for £5.94! It's gone back up to £87.99 now so that was a heck of a saving. I had to re tag and separate all the albums but for that type of saving it was worth the 15 mins work.

Here's the link to HUKD for proof: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/pin...p3-download-5-94-amazon-bonkers-price-1601631

Might have been slightly crazy, but... for less than the price of a new GTX 770 it was a bargain on the bay. Fully working no problems to report. Going to speed up my workflow quite considerably. Keep in mind still at university but do a lot of work on the side in 3DMax and after effects/graphics so I do realize it's not a gaming card.

Bobcat · 9 Jul 2013 at 14:12

I was in desperate need of some fan action in the house today (ohh-errrr), trying to work from home, so caved in and went to the local B&Q in search of fan's !!

£39.98 but now its working its magic in the lounge, it may now sound like im working in a aircraft hanger, but at least its now nice and cool
