For the vast majority of tablets it doesn't matter.
BUT there are some tablets where milk or dairy should be avoided 2 hours either side so bear that in mind. If that's the case it will clearly state it on the dispensing label.

Not living aboard but me and the wife have bought a 1/12 share in a narrow just a few weeks ago and really looking forward to spending a few weeks each year on the cut!!

And here's the money-shot... Glucosamine, and any "non-traditional" medicine will not contain a patient leaflet with medical contra-indications because......it's not a medicine.
There may be warnings but never anything more.

OK here is the medical opinion
There is no scientific proof that Glucosamine or Chondroitin have a measurable effect on Degenerative disease, ie arthritis.
However on the plus side both are naturally occurring substances that have no side effects in the recommended doses
My experience is that between 20 - 30 % of my patients report an improvement in symptoms on taking it,
If I gave everybody a yellow smartie there would be a significant number who would report an improvement in symptoms
So as there are no side effects and the whole aim is to get an improvement in symptoms I tell my patients to try it if they want but if they feel no difference after 3/12 to stop spending their money
Unfortunately we (The medical profession) are not very good at treating arthritis except at the end stage when a joint replacement is treatment of choice. I find that when there is no known cure there are a lot of myths etc about what works and ways in which people can be separated from their money
Doc has it all covered here, side effects have to be statistically proved along with benefits. No proven benefits and no proven side effects. Patient information leaflets are a nightmare and if you look at one 99/100 the top two S/E are headache and nausea, strangely two of the commonest symptoms that can't be "measured" by any means!
A German study a few years ago claimed a statistical benefit in glucosamine and this encouraged NHS prescribing for quite a while at considerable expense due the unique way the NHS is run.
More recently though as Doc has said there is no proof so you need to buy it yourself.
I too tend to recommend 3 months of 1500mg, preferably with chondroitin to see if there are any improvement but still warn about the shellfish allergy thing.

Strangely I've had a very similar problem with these carts. They were on special at a local dealer and I bought 500 of them.
They were absolutely manky!!!!!
You could see black debris coming out of the barrels, greenish residue around the breech end of the barrels and receiver and the barrels themselves looked like they'd been used as a chimney for a paper fire, lots of black flakes along the whole length.
The other lads couldn't believe the state of it.
I also got a couple of black spots which would not shift with legia/jag/phoshor/napier solvent. It took about a hundred carts of a cleaner fibre version put through it to shift it!!
Needless to say I've stocked up on Eley firsts, which were always spotless for me, for when I use the last two boxes up (yes I'm counting them down!!)

Not local to me by any means but I've been a few times my brother in law shoots there.
I like it, friendly and not too pricey. A few disciplines, sporting, dtl, skeet and some strange variation of compact sporting too.
If I remember tightly cart prices aren't too bad either.

Apart from the fact my photo is for some reason upside down, I've sussed it!
The allen bolt that tightens onto the rail is spring loaded!
Panic over!

Hi there first daft question.
All I've done is taken my scope off my new Stoeger X20S to adjust where it was sitting and move the mounts a little.
I've just found this little spring on the floor right where I was working and I have no idea where it goes! The mounts are single mounts and the rear has a grub to lock it into a notch on the barrel.
Pic of spring attached I hope.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The 12G will always be my main sport but it's not really the right tool for rattus rattus.

Hi folks, just thought I'd pop my head around the corner to this part of the forum as I've just bought my first air rifle and have alot to learn!!
Got myself a Stoeger X20 Suppressor as it seemed to tick all the boxes for my limited experience.
Brace yourselves for loads of stupid questions!!

hi from me too!! joe

Please please please don't read about medication online. And definitely don't let it sway your decision to take a drug or not. Speak to your pharmacist or GP.
Right then...
Simvastatin is the most widely prescribed statin in the UK. Yes it's cheap but that doesn't detract from the fact that by lowering cholesterol cardiac risk factors plummet.
Side effects are uncommon but the main thing to look out for is unexplained muscle weakness/soreness. Tell your GP and he/she will try you on another type of statin, there are a few.
Also avoid grapefruit juice and if you're given antibiotics then let the pharmacist know because some types may need you to stop the statin for a period of time.
Taking it at night has nothing to do with side effects. The body makes cholesterol overnight so it stands to reason that the tablet is best taken at night (though not clinically proven for all statins strangely).
Doses range from 10mg to 80mg daily but most are on 40mg as this the most clinically beneficial dose. Patients on certain heart tablets may only take 20mg but this is now common practice.
Hope this is of some help.

I was gutted I couldn't come along, the Mon-Fri 9-6 daily grind put the brakes on a very very kind invitation!!

One of the guys I shoot clays with got a 9410 for his boy.
If he turns up with it you can guarantee a que of grinning idiots wanting a shot.
I'd love one just for the craic!

Couple more things.If you have them in a static run you will need to lime the soil once or twice a year as it will become quite acidic from their droppings and is bad for their claws.Normal garden lime from a DIY/garden centre sell it in 5kg boxes,but dont use builders lime as thats caustic. Its envitable they will suffer from red mites at some point which they get from wild birds and in a wooden coop they are a pain in the backside to get rid of.They live most of the time between the roofing felt and timber so is advisable to choose a one piece waterproof roof (like cement board),but they also live in all the nooks and grannies then come out at night to feed on the hens blood when sleeping.
Another breed to consider is the leghorn.They're much smaller than the average hen and in their first year will lay one white egg every single day-they're a prolific layer.They have quite a funky almost fearless personalty too-mine will run into the house and join the dogs eating from their bowls.
I'd never considered this. What kind of coverage should I use per sqm say? (sorry for the hijack)

We keep a few chooks and they are fun to have around.
I think most things have been covered by the folk more knowledgable than me. Ours are in an enclosed roofed run mostly but if someone is around, us or the neighbours, they are let out to wander as they see fit.
They also develop individual characters. Unfortunate as my wife now sees them as pets instead of livestock, which means vet bills instead of necking any dodgy looking ones. :(

Topic resurrection alert!!
My mixture above tastes good but has become cloudy forming a hazy sediment that redisperses with the slightest movement of the bottle. Is there anyway to clarify the liquid?
