But what does it do in the treatment of asthma? Becotide is a steroid. It is a [word omitted] medicine.

So now you know, was I close with Becotide?

Co-codamol

Becotide is a PREVENTATIVE medicine.

I don't have a question and am working my way through the 7,000,000 non-steroid anti-asthma medicines listed by google.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:22 Mon 30 Sep 2013

Becotide is a preventer. Sodium cromoglycate is a reliever (for when you get an attack, mainly because you're too lazy to remember to take your preventer). It's the blue one. Ventolin. I don't take becotide any more (the brown one), I take a thing called QVar (the purple one).

The good news for djewesbury is that rule 42b says that if no one gets the answer the questioner gets another question.

You answered it correctly. Your question, while I hyperventilate... And complain that this Bomfim 99 didn't really hold up at all on the second night, and was only alright on the first.

I missed that.

That was fun, so let's stay on the theme.

I had a knee operation seven days ago. What was the first drug I took that was related to that operation?

CHâ‚ƒCHâ‚‚OH, and considerably in advance of the operation.

Next guess: lard.

It's not lorazepam it's the other one that sounds like it (not diazepam or clonazepam) but..... no can't remember

Technically correct. JDAW's question.

I should have said "after" rather than "related to".

It was Tramadol. Never again.

Lormetazepam that's the one I was thinking of (and my guess)

Today I have sent two completed forms to a part of the British government with which I have never previously corresponded. This part of the British gov’t has existed since the reign of Queen Victoria. Which part is it?

Footnote: though it has existed since Q. Vicky, I’m not certain that it has done so under its current name.

Wrong.

On 16th February 2011 I wrote to the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, commenting on the 1947 Juba Conference. My suggestion was not adopted.
