Arrggh. Blood everywhere.

[skelstar]

Hmmm...don't watch House in the next couple of weeks...won't do anything for your confidence.

[Mr. Peanut]

What's yer blood pressure like?

My thoughts exactly.

Speights has lots of iron in it, after all that exsanguination I'm bound to be iron deficient now.

Guinness, that'll do the trick. (in the old days when my mother was pregnant with me she was officially prescribed a bottle of murphys a day as an iron supplement. Probably explains a lot - ie. my embarrassing moment thread)

I had nosebleeds for a while at one stage. My GP said they could be a sign of health rather than not (WTF?), but although this seems crazy, unless you have another incident I might not worry about it too much.

My sinal passages are so crap I'm still partly deaf after last week's long-haul flight, and sometimes an improbable amount of seawater shoots out of my nose up to 5 days after I've been scuba diving. Also not great in a helment, but easier to clean than blood.
Still, riding a blood-stained steed you'll look rock-hard.

I have a spare Nolan size large if you need it. PM me is you are interested.

Damn, beaten to it

How about the possible urban myth that cops in the US use coca cola to remove blood from the road, perhaps that would work in your helmet? Then you only have to get the sticky coca cola out...

Red wine'll get the coke out.
White wine will get the red out.

Leaves you with a mildy acoholic helmet smelling of cat's piss. Result all round.

Run the bath. Jump in with your gear on... ?

About half an hour ago, I ripped the head off a moderators voodoo doll. Sorry Ixion. Dunno why it went for you though. Have you moved some threads around lately?

[tri boy]

Do some more Bolivian marching powder and you won't care.

[Ixion]

What's yer blood pressure like?

Buggered if I know. Can't be too low , though, if the pipework's bursting.

Y'reckon the pressure relief valve might be stuck closed ? Dunno how you adjust it though. On the Triumph a sharp rap on the valve body with a hammer did the trick. Maybe I'll give m'self a rap on the head.

I do know I was as hot as a broiled lobster at the time, due to an unfortunate decision this morning that it was going to be a really cold day , needing my heavy jacket and woolies. And an interminable meeting in a room with the heating cranked right up.

So maybe the oil overheated.

Sounds like an oil change is on the cards...

Give "buffy" a PM, she may "know people"

If you haven't tried anything else yet try blotting it with a tissue and warm water with a bit of salt dissolved in it. About a small teaspoon per liter I seem to recall. (0.85g/100ml approximates isotonic or the same salt strength as our blood). The trick is to not break those little red cells and spew out the haemoglobin (high iron component).

If you've tried other things first this probably won't work.
