    For some reason, the CBX just doesn't do it for me.

  4. Well, it could be the beginning of Meniere's syndrome.

    Is the dizziness "oh, I'm a bit pissed" or "where's the fucking floor!!"

    If it's the latter, keep an eye on it

    €2.50 at the beer tent!

    About €18 for a crate of 24 at the supermarket, up the road.

    I can only recall seeing our crates, in the field......

  7. That is, most definitely, the spirit. Really, I haven't got a fucking
    clue what I'm talking about, but I can almost picture some anonymous
    pompous doctor explaining it away - you'd just eaten, so oxygen supply
    going to the digestive system[*], standing up suddenly & a bit of
    physical activity (washing hands), first things to go screwy brain-wise
    when oxygen is in short supply (as a pilot you obviously know this)
    being visual and audio processing...

    A lesser man would have simply passed-out.
    Cool. Please make a video.

    [*] I didn't know, until my old man had a heart attack, that puking
    one's guts up is part of the whole lovely cardiac-arrest experience.
    Apparently, digesting food takes up so much blood-oxygen that the first
    thing the body does during a big heart attack is free itself of any
    undigested food. Clever, really, in a gross sort of way...

    bungee yourself to the seat, and a BFO gyroscope to the pillion pad.

    Sounds like you got up too quickly after being relaxed for too long.
    This happened to me 10 years ago after I suddenly go up out of bed for a
    piss. I was fine, but after 30 seconds/minute I had exactly what you
    described. I fell unconscious in the bath for a few seconds then
    everything was spinning for several minutes, I couldnt even crawl back
    to the bedroom.

    It is scary when it happens but its nothing to worry about AFAIK.

    Can't be arsed reading the rest of the thread. Has anyone said
    'labyrinthitis' yet? Could be that if you've got / had a bad cold recently.

  14. The answer, as always, is in your own hands.

    Yours sounds more like micturition hypotension; it's not entirely
    uncommon.

    I'll have the camping kit bungied to the seat. If I have an episode, I'll
    lean backwards and cling to the luggage, and let the gyroscopic effect of
    the wheels countersteer me to safety.
