i still have a pack I bought in Egypt years ago, where you could buy it OTC.

MollyL
Oh, I really don't want to know the why of that.

Huge gaudy display stand in the pharmacy. My ex in line waiting for hangover cure. At the top of my voice I yelled 'Oh look Dear! There's those pills you take'! Cue everybody in the line turns & looks at him! (No wonder he left me).!!!
6:02 pm
Soodle
I felt obliged to make a purchase after that!
6:05 pm
MollyL
No man with a set of decent principles would ever leave you. Your purchase has probably expired, but no worries. If a guy needs that to do the job, he's probably not your cup of tea.
6:08 pm
Soodle
Aw, thanks Molls. I only bought them cos I knew I'd have a bit of fun flashing the pack in the pub. Which I did!
6:09 pm
MollyL
