Heroin Drought Causing Problems in England

Submitted by Phillip Smith on (Issue #660)
Consequences of Prohibition

A scarcity of heroin in England is leading to a growing number of drug overdoses and poisonings as users ingest dope cut with other substances by dealers trying to stretch supplies, The Guardian reported this week. Scene watchers there are calling it the worst drought in years.

Are you sure that's heroin? Be careful out there, especially in England
The drought is being blamed not on seizures by law enforcement agencies, but on a fungus that has blighted the Afghan opium poppy crop, reducing the size of this year's poppy crop by half. Afghanistan accounts for more than 90% of the world's opium production and likely 100% of the British heroin supply.

"There is a very significant heroin shortage across the UK at the moment," said Gary Cross, head of drug policy for the non-profit group Release.  "It has been going on for some time now, but the last two months have seen stockpiles exhausted."

"I've never known anything like it in 30 years," wrote one long-time heroin user on an on-line forum discussing the shortage.

As dealers and users scramble to grapple with the shortage, users are turning up at hospitals after ingesting adulterated heroin or, in some cases, fake heroin consisting of a powerful sedative, caffeine, and paracetamol, a bulking agent. Some have passed out after smoking or ingesting, while others have reported vomiting, amnesia, and flu-like symptoms.

"This 'heroin drought' appears to be serious and geographically widespread," said Neil Hunt, director of research at KCA, a nationwide community drug treatment service. "Street heroin is in a complete and utter muddle at the moment, and users are collapsing unexpectedly. We need to standardize information about what's out there.

"If people use this intravenously, perhaps on top of alcohol and methadone [the prescribed substitute drug for heroin], it is extremely risky," said Dr. John Ramsey, who runs a drug database at St. George's Medical School in London. "We have had many reports of people overdosing. It's really important that accident and emergency departments understand that they may not be dealing with a 'normal' heroin overdose when people are brought in," he said.

Harm reduction drug agencies are aware of the problem and working to address it. Several of them held an urgent meeting last week to discuss setting up an online warning system to give users notice about contaminated or adulterated drugs.

Gear is coming back from what i can see, i live in walsall and have suffered all the same throughout this drought but for the last week i've had some complete shit, half decent and pretty decent gear. The things i had lasntnight and tonight have been sound in the pin, not congealing or fuckall and a nice colour. Bags werent huge but i was pretty fucked, suppose tolerance has dropped too. Dunno what it's like on the jimmy tho but  been lookin good for the past week nearly.

hello folks, i havent scored for 3 weeks!! cant beleive it, as use to score daily or twice daily up until 3 wks ago when we had enough of wasting our money on fake gear, and its amazing having money in the bank! have £200 and even spent lots this wk on shopping, getting car insured, tax & mot'd, yet still have money, am so use to being skint, so every cloud has a silver lining and all that! i never wanna go bk to gear again, but have some awful times where i really crave it. im on 60 ml of meth, and its holding me. am so pleased i havent been lining the pockets of those scumbags, was spending between £40-£50 a day (between me and my bf). he works, so have never robbed or anything like that, we supported our habit. in a way i want the gear to come bk, but on the other hand i dont. spoke to one of my black dealers frm london and he said won't be bk until the new yr, hes still selling white, sod that! i cud never do a pipe without some B to come down with after! what a head fuck.

I think tolerance might have something to do with it, (lack of) but I had my last hit at 11pm last night. I didn't drop of til about 4ish this morning, and woke up at about 7 tonight... and felt fine. That's unheard of isn't it. Luckily I've got enough to sort me out for today, but the word is that we're drying up tomorrow :-(  But to answer your question, yeah, the gear held me well...

Thankfully got the subs on script. I really hope people have got themselves to the clinics, cos I've got a feeling that we're gonna have problems again soon.

A tip for anyone whose got subs. In my case I'm managing to skim off somebody elses, I CAN'T get scripted because if i do, it'll cause me all manner of problems. Anyway if anybodys got/gets access to a few subbys- crush the little beautys and sniff them. Not because it makes you gouch (cos it doesn't) or for any other reason that they actually WORK. And they work well. I use to take them sublingularly and as well as tasting totally rank, they just didn't seem to help me much. Doing them this way really makes a difference, i think it ups the bioavailabilty by a considerable amount, they also kick in a hell of a lot quicker. Which always helps.

Mind you, I'm talking about subutex, not suboxone.

Shirley.. hope your trip went smooth, and i'm glad you cleared up the gender confusion ;-)

Well done for cleaning up. I just meant that to anyone with any kind of tolerance to opiates, it is unlikely to make you gouch. I remember the first time I did a subutex. I'd only been on the gear for about 6 weeks 2 months, enough (as we all know) to need it anyway. Then the day came, when the pennys ran out. So I stuck this 'miracle pill' under my tongue, and about an hour later it was like the best gear I'd ever had. I was absolutely shitfaced. But never got like that since.... I don't care, if the drought persists, it's not getting hammered i'm chasing. Christ i'd fetch a nasty cheap bottle of vodka in if I wanted to do that. As long as  I'm not poorly. So, railing subutex is good for me. Lasts ages too, you almost forget your an addict :-)

Just bought my first dodgy bag during the drought.

There's gear in it but it looks a bit waxy on the foil, i had to smoke twice as much just to feel it and am on my third bag now.

Moi is not a happy bunny.

Dear H,

Firstly please forgive me for ending our relationship in such a cowardly manner.... but you must admit we havn't been seeing a lot of each other of late. I was warned about long distance relationships not working years ago, yet thought ours would be different. I just cant take the heartache anymore, the broken promises, the total feeling of emptiness i am left with each time you stand me up. God, i still love you , probably always will, but i'm afraid if i dont get out now while i still can then you will be the death of me!

I'll never forget the time we met 15 years ago, it was definatley love at first sight, even if you did make me feel GUILTY, our bond was so strong it didn't matter who or what tried to stand in our way , we always ended up back together. Can you remember our first time? I was so stressed & wired , but you made me relax & feel so calm & warm & safe, you gave me my first nights sleep in years. I couldn't believe how lucky i was to meet someone who showed me so much affection, yet wanted so little in return (at first)

I have given the best part of my life to you, but i cant do it no more! I will always remember you fondly, infact there wont be a day goes by when some part of me wishes i could see you one last time, yet i am terrified if i ever see you again i wont be strong enough to walk away. Can you understand why i am doing this now? please dont think that by suddenly showing up on my doorstep i will immediatly fall straight back into your arms. I wont,i cant, however tempting it will seem i will simply turn my back on you.

I started this letter over an hour ago, trying to put my feelings into words has always been an issue for me, so please understand if some of it is confusing, it's just...........

Please remember me as i you, once again sorry for not being able to do this face to face, love always Shirley

P-.S. THANKYOU all for your kind words, advice & humour at such difficult times. Goodbye & Good luck

Shirley............

hi yall,

Dublin is still dry, theres the dirt so called 'white gear' that takes the edge off for a few hours, nowt else. I scored 4 Q's at 6am last thursday morn & shot 3 t.o's one after another..left me feeling like i was going to have a heartattack. Don't know whats in it but there's gotta be some sort of up'er in it. Gonna find out this week if my screens are clean, will know for sure then if there was any h at all in it.

Outside of gear i had, for the first time, a few shots of crystaly methadrone. Hadn't had anything like that in 6years or more, but was impressed. Though at that point i was glad just to be banging anything. Also managing to stretch my yellow and blues stash but this week will see them out for sure.

Totally agree with previous post by guy advising us all not to buy this crap, it has left me totally skint. I thought i'd have enough money for a half or even an ounce when the drought ended.

Anyone know when this drought ends?

Also a point made by a previous post, I do remember xmas's before when gear was scarce.. I'm hoping January's going to see the end of this situation. With another  3weeks in this month January seems a long way off.

Love to hear what the situation is in mainland Europe ?? Anyone know ??

Check back with yall later

If any of you lovely English drug dealing people are selling to our Irish drug dealing people (not many of them left in our country) please tell them to stop mixing the heroin with pure shit and if they tell you they are going to mix it, smack them in head and take their money of them cause if I buy another bag of heroin with piano wax, cement, baking soda and god know what else and I have given nearly €100 from my very hard earned wages (which the IMF are funding so their very bad now). I think I'm going to kill myself ( and I really don't want to do that cause I can't even overdose). If any of you's lovely people are on this blog and are near liverpool or holyhead and get sorted with decent stuff any hope of letting us know cause I'm might do a day trip for some xmas shopping and I really want to get me self a nice pressie.

Give a gift for Christmas. Give me nice heroin.

Hi All, This was posted 2 days ago on the first page as a reply to the 3rd message, dated 9th dec..

I don't know about  the cia thing.  They seem to do quite well out of the drug trade, remember the Contra hearings Oliver North said coke funded military aid to US supported groups in Nicaragua, and of course there was Air America set up by the  CIA to get the South Vietnamese general's heroin out of there.

There was an unexplained drought in Australia in early 2000s.  I'm a University researcher who's been looking at the heroin trade and am a long term user so I'm interested on both levels.  There's probably several forces at work, not least trying to push the price up.  There has been top gear but expensive at 1988 prices where I am-- 200 on the 1/8 but only coming through one person.  Must be a one off stash come in from Islamabad!  The rest is bash or poison.  No-one can explain this simply....none of the top scholars of drug use ever figured out the Australian drought and Tazmania is one of the largest producers of legal opium in the world!!  Everyone just changed their drug of choice and smack re-emerged after about a year.  A strange occurrence. I know alot of people with or without scripts are suffering.  Time to legalise or people will just take more risks and more dangerous drugs or start making fentanyl which, if ur a chemist, is easy and 1g of fentanyl can be cut into 1kg of gear safely as a pharmaceutical replacement.  That's what the big boys would do if there was a real "no heroin on the planet scenario".  There's no way they'll give up the trade and lose all that lovely money they love so much.  Read the book Heroin Century by Tom Carnwath and Ian Smith, although from 2002 it explains a lot.

Hi DJKEV76

just out of curiousity, is it ( djkev76 ) because you were born in 76, & a DJ back in the old skool raving days! as thats when i was born! yeh i know, got 2 bags last night, pupils didnt budge in the slightest, and was up most of the night ( AGAIN !) so a complete wind up knowing i dont know the guy who's got proper stuff in it, but cause my friend used my phone to call him, i saved his phone number n name, n know exactly where he lives, but dont know him ! Its like its been sat on for a while or something like that as it is the real deal.. had that warm, flooding rush, then boom head in lap like a nodding dog lol... So got a bit desperate last night, n called the guy who got it, as thought, aha! i can snort it, maybe that way would do it, as i can promise you we went 3 ways on 1 bag 3 days ago, n its been a very long time since ive had proper food!!, n never in 2 months have i seen my pupils return to dots for about 15 hours ! Thing is,, im poorly now, n the guy who got it for me, said big guy aint up yet, ( im not scipted ) so cannot wait much longer, n just had a heads up that the big man with PROPER food, does do weights to somebody i used to go to just down the road, so my mate has just popped down to see if she still gets from him, the big wind up is the guy who got this stuff for me, said he would try n arrange an introduction today, but his phone is off at the mo...

Hope ya all doing ok, my legs are hurting bad now, so goin for a lay down! see what hapens in a mo.. i'll keep ya posted,

Zara xx

Just quit the shit, I've been on the gear years man and have found it really hard to come of it until now. I'm from east London . Just knock your meth back and you'll be alright. come on people you must be happy in some ways that you're not taking gear,like saving money or shoplifting or whatever you do to make money.

as we all know H is a physical addiction so in times of drought we can all get clean, however as with all addictions it is also a mental addiction so, and i quote from Taz last post, "just quit the shit" is not that simple.  if u have been forced to quit gear then chances r u will be praying some gear lands soon as mentally u r not prepared to quit.  u gotta wanna quit first and foremost otherwise despite all ur good intentions of staying clean, U WILL NOT.  #

My advise to anyone wanting to quit is to not do it alone.  seek out other recovering addicts as there is nothing better than relating to other peoples experiences. 

i have lots of advice i could give on this subject and if u r interested in hearing it then email me.  [email protected].  giving advise will also help me to remember why i quit 12yrs ago.  i have now relapsed and 11 months in to my second using phase and still enjoying my using. 

not trying to teach people to suck eggs or nothin, just think its good to share the knowledge as not everyone will know whats what.

managed to score for the first time to today.1 bags got 7 of them and a white for 50 quid

 

At least it was gear. But thats about the best thing I have to say about it.I`ve had a reasonably pleasant afternoon, eyes pinned, very itchy, pronounced opiate 'glow', but still didnt quite get a nod on, which is pathetic after 7 of the bastards

 

So, not an entirely unsuccessful day but no where near satisfying either. I think ill be leaving it untill the new year now before i risk any more of my cash. hopefully things will be getting back to normal by then

 

ps the white was a right load of bollocks as well

Its not over yet but scored 7/10 quality & the 1'er's were half usual size mind. Well pleased but well skint.

Was told that the drought is not over but there is 'bits and pieces' about, and it will be after the new year before regular price weight is happening.

Still though there is lots of shite still being sold, and it seems they're still getting away with it. Everyone wants what they cant have. Yesterday i saw a chap sell a queue of people hundreds of Euro of dirt and no one came back and gutted him for it ?? As several people from the previous posts on here have already said.. 'buying dirt will just perpetuate the drought...' We're now almost 2 month into this and Im guilty of going back for seconds of shit gear myself but after a taste of reasonably good stuff its such a waste of hard come by cash. When you get the chance to buy decent it makes you regret every cent you wasted.

Feel for all those still out there 'looking' and are unscripted. I've been on gear for 6years now and i remember that a good few Xmas' where it was pretty dry gear wise maybe this is just all part of that pattern. Cash and supply is the scourge of a junkie's life its nothing new, but most will agree this has been on long dry spell. 

Check back later

hi zara ive been worried about you,in your last post to djkev you said you hadnt had any real gear for 15 hours and were starting to really rattle. but you were hopefully waiting for some good gear so im hoping that you havnt posted anything cuz you cant get your head out of your lap!! :)  let me know how you are.                       To djkev fukin foundation!! oh my god things must be bad i feel really sorry for anyone whos bought a bag of that especially if they put it in a pin. anyway things seem a bit better here have managed to score every day for the last ten days or so. my dealer said that theres still not very much gear around and the drought is far from over, i just hope there will be enough for christmas the thought of christmas day without any gear is a horrible one. i hope everyones ok. sue x

Hi Sue, thanx for looking out for me hun, it means a lot, yeh, im struggling, but plodding along ok at the mo.. im sticking with some stuff that is holding me.. as no script, and this food im gettin at the mo actually does make my pupils go down, but not pinned, so maybe a little tiny bit of food in it, runs really clean, glad to hear you're coping ok-ish, im bit concerned about Shirley, hope he's ok. I did get lucky last night, had a p2 for tenner which is good compared to some prices on here, as got a call off my usuall man, (have'nt used him for about 10 days as he wont buy crap, so only bought one to test, it was soooo nice, i slept ten hours n still felt ok when i woke up this morning, but was gutted to learn he had sold out within an hour! dont blame them though as ppl pounced on this stuff, just goes to show there are bits about... keep me posted on how you're doing hun....

DJKEV old skooler like me, i was/am a big drum n bass fan, but as im older now, i also like nirvana, snow patrol, coldplay ect, (soft rock) i also love la roux, pendulum ect! DJ Hype did my 18th birthday down in newquay, and i miss those days, i will be intouch with my email as would love to connect with you on fb, as got loads of pics from those days as i used to dance for dance planet, we also had Dreamscape down here, and obsession ect.. we had a really good venue but it got shut down yrs ago now.. anyhow thats real nasty putting foundation in it, quite scary really, i have'nt come across anything that bad, thank god, but there is still loads of horrid crap flying round, some that dont do shit to you, its bit of a wind up really as so called dealer " Friends "/addicts are lying a lot saying they got good, so dont trust anything im told, as there probably desperate to get rid once they realise its crap..

I have also had a heads up from my usual guy that his man has waited 9 weeks up in scouce land, and he is sorted and will be around in the next few days.. i hope this is true.. as he said, we will be just fine for crimbo, as im terrified about being around my family rattlin, there not stupid n will know what is wrong with me.. fingers X eh! i'll be looking in on you guys tomoro, please be careful out there n stay safe

Zara xx

Well first off hi all my fellow addict friends, tis truly a dismal situation we have found ourselves in. I feel the Afgan farmers have gotten the worst end of the deal first used by the Taliban, then used by the west,  they get addicted people themselves kids as young as 8 yrs old being giving heroin by their parents, and now they r attacked by a bio weapon. I shall paste an very good article below and leave the link also incase it doesnt go thro. I think if this is the bio weapon that is talked bout in this article then we r in for pos alot of probs, coz something like this cant be eradicated that easy and will affect other crops. Afgan farmers  have said that this mysterious white powder they found on their poppy crops has also affected their wheat crops and their livestock, it can easily mutate wich could be unholy hell on earth if it is used on our food crops. These bio weapons were created to kill off illicit drug plants and u can seach google bout it and find alot on it, they ~(US) apparently used it in Columbia on the coca fields and some say thats why Columbia started growing poppy, i dont kno this stuff for fact but it would make sense. Specially wen u read bout all these projects they have created to kill every kinda drug plant round, including marijuana. Ive heard the next crop is being harvested now in DEC/Jan, but i worry for this crop to coz as i said if this fungus bio weapon is wot i think it is, it could very well affect this next crop even if the growin spots r rotated, it can go so much more further than that. I saw someone said heroin is over in the uk, well id not say tis never over, where there is demand there will be supply, i think it may be the end of Afganistan being a narco state, but then another country will take its place. My main question is who done it? dont make sense it was the govts coz they make to much and r in to much debt to burn millions of ££$$ of drug money, i know alot of elders in Afganistan r embarrassed bout it being a narco state and maybe have gotten hold of this bio weapon that was created and used it.

As far as me, im lucky to be on the script, but i truly feel for anyone who cant get on or isnt on, i know that if i didnt have a script i would for sure just consider clucking it out, for me id feel id have no other option, but the timing as usual is all off, i mean xmas to cluck it out aint the idea most of us would have in mind. neway here is the article, and here is the link:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/948102.stm

 

Britain's Secret War On Drugs
Monday October 2 2000
Reporter Tom Mangold
Producer Aidan Laverty
Researcher David Lee

Panorama goes inside the former biological warfare factory that is producing a fungus capable of destroying the world's illicit heroin harvests. And it's being funded by the British taxpayer.

Scientists in the plant in Uzbekistan are trying to perfect the Pleospora fungus that kills the opium poppy - source of the world's illegal heroin supply.

 

Mike Greaves

But the research work may already be running out of control. Mike Greaves, the British scientist who is the secret project's expert consultant, admits in a rare interview that he cannot be certain the fungus is 100% safe.

 

Despite this Greaves, a micro-biologist from Bristol, is convinced the fungus is a `sensational' answer to the world's heroin problem. He says: "I love the project, it's one of the most exciting projects that I've been involved in."

 

Professor Paul Rogers

Professor Paul Rogers, a leading British plant pathologist warns: "The fungus sounds like a silver bullet but it could easily become a poisoned chalice. Once you develop a technology to spread plant diseases intentionally you are developing a technology which could easily be misused by bad people against legitimate food crops."

 

Although the United Nations Drugs Control Programme is fronting the fungus project, it is the Americans who are the real sponsors with the British making a £100,000 contribution. No other country has been persuaded to contribute to the programme.

 

The deadly Pleospora fungus

Both London and Washington have pledged to use the fungus against Afghanistan poppies only with target government consent. Observers are puzzled why the project continues given the certainty that the Muslim fundamentalist Taleban who run the country and take substantial revenues from the deadly crop will never agree.

 

Tony White, until recently the Chief of UNDCP's Supply and Reduction Enforcement Department, claims he was recently told in the USA of discussions within the UNDCP where "at one point it was seriously considered trying to get the Afghan government in exile in Islamabad to agree to the application of the fungus."

Confidential documents acquired by Panorama from the UNDCP office in Vienna highlight the UN's own fears about the project they are fronting. They concede the fungus may be difficult to contain once released, and that there remains a very 'remote possibility' that the fungus will affect other species and may even 'transform or mutate'.

 

You are simply opening things out for a wider spread of this kind of technology

 

Professor Paul Rogers

Critics of Britain's involvement in the Pleospora fungus project fear that unless the programme receives further funding from London and Washington the cash-strapped Institute in Tashkent may be tempted to deal with private organisations. This could eventually lead to biological weapons falling into the hands of gangsters.

 

Professor Rogers is deeply concerned: "If things drift into the private sector then who are the paymasters? You are simply opening things out for a wider spread of this kind of technology."

There is added concern that if the fungus is used against illicit drug harvests, then drug cartels could themselves acquire the technology and in revenge attacks, use a form of agricultural terrorism against Britain or the U.S.


 

Anyway people hope u find this as interesting as i did, and i hope things can get better soon for all of us involved in the heroin trade farmers and users alike. Plz make sure to be extra safe and i hope u can have the best xmas and new yr pos.

 

Peace and light to all!

Hi Kev, Sue, n all

Got a text last night from someone that had nice food, last time he texts, he had proper, so went out today to see him, he had sold out, but said the new stuff was OK, ive slipt a disk in my back, so in quite a bit of pain, was absolutely gutted to find, the food just held me slightly, so shopping in a mo.. i know quite a few ppl, but everyone has the same shit, im getting a bit annoyed that im wasting so much hard earned money, only have 2 presents for crimbo, where as usually by now, i have everyones, so stressed to the max... its been a bit of a roller coaster ride of late.. and does'nt look like anything is coming soon.... like i said b4, im getting lucky about one in every 15-20, good thing is its still £10 for p2, but ppl are cottoning on too it.. i dare not tell the sellers about this site as it will give them idea's..

Sue you made me laugh, it was snowing hard here this morning.. cars sliding all over the roads.. took some pics, there is a site that is quite interesting, type into google.. heroin drought 2010 Ian.. its a ausie blog by a guy called Ian, who's headline is "Is this drought a good thing or a bad thing.. good arguements on there where ppl have different views on the subject.. n fellow intellectualls/addicts putting up a good arguement for us all..

im back off to spend more ££ on crap, as finding the pain in my back becoming more unbearable.. when will i ever learn.. just hoping to come across that one in every 15-20, but it has got hold of me so much, i now regret giving up my script in may.. i did it as wanted to give up, and as you all probably know, its a lot harder to come off then h itself, but even in this drought im still looking, even though this would be a great chance to do it, and as im rattlin some of the time anyway, i might as well, but finding it hard still.. im silly to myself really, but you all know how it is, i can handle the physical side, its the mental side that draws mw back always!!

i'' check bk in with ya all laters..... stay safe peeps.. n please be careful, but would love to know whats going on up there....

Hi everyone, i'm new on here but have been reading over the comments and i'm having the same issues. Zara I think I'm local to you, sorry about what your going through, have you been down to harbour? They are aware of whats going on and have helped a couple of my mates out. They're getting people on scripts quicker. I'm grateful for mine at the moment, its a complete nightmare. Have you been able to get anything decent down here recently? One thing that has made me feel better is that there are decent people like us out here, reading through what people have said. Not all junkies are unemployed and out thieving. I just hope you all have a good xmas and that its a brown one but from what im reading and hearing it looks like these problems with the g are going to be around for a while. I am grateful at least the price rise hasn't affected us where I live yet. Well done djkev for keeping clean, its the perfect time for doing it but annoying when it isn't your choice, if that makes sense.

Speak to you soon, s x

Hi Sean,

Its nice to see someone from down here, i live about a mile away from harbour mate, been in n out of that place for years, even done 2 stays in broadreach house. Even though it sounds like the right thing to do ( go on a script ) i keep thinking i would be re-placing one addiction for another ( after watching on youtube... HEROIN ON THE NHS,  its about Clive Froggatt who was Margarett Thatcher's GP and former heroin addict, like he says "only 4% ever come OFF methadone", and ive been there before, apparently the word is at harbour that they are wiping out methadone within 5 years, and if you've ever done a rattle from meth, then you'll know its hundred times worse then just coming off H. I know they probably would script me, but i think i would rather do 4 days then 6 weeks, if you know what i mean...

sorry to be short but something has just come up, so got to shoot, excuse the pun lol, back in a tick...

hi,

Well here in dublin there's gear about, some reasonable, some not. Im only scoring off my regular dealer that straight about whether what he's selling is good or bad.

Thing is now I cant afford to continue buying gear 1'er bag after 1'er bag, which are really only like the fifty bags that were around before this cursed drought started.

So until Im able to score a quarter or half , I think I gotta quit for a while and get my funds together. I love to both shoot and smoke gear and piss'n around with small amounts just aint worth it to me. When I had a quarter or half sorted I could just get on with my life not always bothered about it running out and where and how to pay for the next bit.

Anyone on this blog able to score weight again ?? Hope things get better soon ..& lets keep this blog going
