Hypoglycemic Excursion

[Anonymous]

Hey guys n gals..

So yesterday, whilst navigating the interweb I came across some online activity that was the “Artificial Pancreas Project”. I’m not going to bore you to tears about the project, so here is a link to the site. http://www.artificialpancreasproject.com/

Anyways in-conjunction with the FDA they held a Public Forum, streaming it to the masses. During one of the presentations, someone mentioned the term “Hypoglycemic Excursion”. A first for me!!

So what would you call your Hypo’s? What are your “Excursion’s” like? To be kind, here is some help – http://thesaurus.com/browse/excursion

I just call ’em f*** ups

I just get a mental picture of a whole load of diabetics clutching lucozade, queuing up to get onto a charabanc to go to somewhere like Blackpool (although maybe Blackpool would be a hyperglycaemic excursion-perhaps Morecambe would be better…)

[Hairy Gnome]

I luv you @annette, you make me larf… Pmsl!

[Cecile]

I go Dutch & call mine Ckoei(e) (hope that leaves you in the dark, as the supposed glycaemic properties of Blackpool&Morecambe left me )

Hypoglycaemic excursion to Downing Street:
Single-decker bus took you to entreat
Drug policy unions
With Netherlands’ loony ‘uns –
You’ll get high and with sweet milk cheese replete.

Hippopotamus? An explanation for non-British readers: Blackpool = Las Vegas on a very very tight budget and without any of the class (you get my drift). Think noise, lights, sweets and icecream galore ; Morecambe = the sort of place you can make the old joke about ‘I went to Morecambe once, it was shut.’ Used to be a fashionable seaside resort. Isnt any longer.Now famous for cockle picking and dangerous tides.

Anyone fancy a lowland safari? or a little prostrate peregrination, perhaps? A little woozy wandering, or a jellybaby junket?
How to convince the rest of the world that you have, indeed, lost it totally.

[Stephen]

Woozy wandering sounds like a successful Friday night out to me

[Cecile]

@annette: MMM (milked myself mooing)! Ach, my earlocks are clammy and starting to curl, I’m off on a Jelly Tot junket (oh, and “hippo” sounds like “hipo”, which is mother tongue for “hypo”)

I come from morecambe and I can pretty much guarantee that nobody has an excursion there any more. And yes it is usually shut!

[Stephen]

I beg to differ @savagebiker650! My mate and I love nothing more than taking the Manta/Rover V8 for a good run from Derby to Morecambe!

Thought I must concede, last time it was shut …….

Fair play Stephen, its a good run from Derby to Morecambe, Cat and Fiddle all the way although 2 wheels is my choice. The beauty is that you can go back to Derby but I’ve gotta go back to morecambe, if its open that is!

[Stephen]

Cat and Fiddle used to be awesome, full of average speed cameras now isn’t it though?

[Tim]

I once went ten pin bowling in Morecambe. I realise this adds absolutely nothing to the thread, but I thought I would add it anyway. Sorry.

[Alison]

If we’re after random Morecambe facts, I did an army assault course on the seafront there as a child and quite enjoyed it.

[Anonymous]

And I played in a brass band competition there as a child. Didn’t much enjoy it- not a patch on Blackpool, or even Kendal (especially on the confectionery front)
