Boats, planes and automobiles

I'll believe that when I see it!

The tablets work.

I used to get carsick, and sea sickness tablets worked wonders, my dad still get's sea sick, he takes a few tabs before he goes on the boat and he's pretty fine then.

If you don't want to be seasick stay above deck if you can.

I went on a sailing trip years back now, after a week on board I get queszy going back on land, really wobbly too.

It's all about adapting, if you have an ear infection it can also make you more prone to sea sickness.

After you throw up, you feel better. Maybe a puking constest to see who can do it the most out of everyone on board may make you not wanna puke..

Know what you mean mate - flying over to the UK recently I got very sick.

Those lunches the serve on Emirates Airlines are obscene. I mean, sure a frozen cocktail was nice, and a canape or 3. Then as a starter the lobster tails in ginger sauce were quite tasty (didn't have the courage to go the Iranian caviaar - like what would I have done if I didn't like it?). And then a soup arrives - what - a 2nd starter - Oh well, I guess I paid for this - gulp. Now what would sir like for Entree - I mean - really - what was all that other stuff we just did - no - bugger off - I'll skip this. Feeling a bit quesy already and they bring in the main - lovely rack of lamb, but no, I would not like another roll and no, I have had quite enough of the Dom Perignon thank you. Desert - NOOOOO - take it away. Cheese platter - ugh - don't you go leaving that on this table OK. Coffee and chocolates - are you spoilin for a rumble. No, I don't want any damn liquers - I just want it to end - please won't someone make it end!!!

Damn, first class is hell

John - PM box is full.

On the subject, I have never really gotten travel sickness, but I know on boats it does help to stay on deck when you can.

The last time I went sailing was a good laugh - there were 3 of us (can't remember what we were sailing) and as we were swapping rudder control a huge gust of wind came and caught us off balance, I had a broken arm at the time (in a cast) and was not allowed to get it wet, so I ended up clinging to the top of the boat, meanwhile the other two (very proficient sailors) got completely soaked as it went up on a 90 degree angle. Damn I was lucky there!

Aw, diddums.

The car/sea sick tablets are supposed to be pretty good. But whatever you do, don't exceed the maximum dosage. The resulting state of mind is really quite a spectacle. For those who may be watching, that is.

LOL Davros

I get motion sickness - when we flew to Europe I took some tablets that worked well even though we had quite bad turbulance in some parts. I've always been bad with things that go round and round or up and down like theme park rides or boats. On a boat I've found that staying on deck is helpful as others have said, not just because of the horizon thing, but also because you get the wind on your face which makes me feel better - the worst combination is the motion plus the air being too warm or still.

Well I guess I should have taken some tablets. I was not sure they actually helped but I guess it would have been wise to at least try.

LOL Davros, better than cardboard sandwiches in a plastic box (or is it the other way round ?) on domestic economy. ahhhh how the other half live eh you lucky sod [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
