Am I the only one who gets really pissed off at people who make a big deal of swallowing tablets?

Lad next to me is gulping away at a pint of water and flinging his head all over the place in a panic tying to to swallow a tiny Nurofen.

Its probably about a tenth of the size of a piece of pizza you would normally swallow with no issues.

Fucking arseholes.

I agree. I want to punch those that fling their heads back as they swallow the tablets.

They dont do that when they eat or slurp their coffee.

In France they make such a fuss about swallowing tablets that they like to stick pain killers up people's arses, specially kids. I remain staunchly British in my approach to these matters and stick to a low fuss gulp with beer for lubrication when needed.

Brilliant thread. I had never thought of it.

Howls of laughter.

I must admit, I struggled a bit swallowing an Ipad.

Not trying one upmanship, but my Firepad was spicey!!!!

I'm on 11 a day, on the odd occasion I forget the five I take at tea time they go down with the two I take later on, seven at once, gobful of water, straight down and after that lot i'm usually too full for any supper !

I think a lot of us will be taking tablets come 3-00 o,clock on Saturday swallowed with several stiff drinks.

I thought this thread was one seeking information on what pills to take when watching pools next two games.

Any clues - something that puts a fluffy shine on everything and numbs mental anguish?

Heroin.

My mam does the head flinging thing.

Can't be good for your neck.

I'm amazed she doesn't get whiplash it's that violent a fling.

My wife does this strange tongue hanging out thing whilst scrabbling around for a glass of water

Very weird.

Does it change when she tries to take a tablet?

No, it just gets stranger.
