First things first- happy b3taday Clenders, here's to many more.
Now then. Sorry about my ranting last night, but the housemate's girlfriend, henceforth referred to as WOD (Waste Of DNA) really really bugged me. What can be said about a person who thinks it is a good idea to start an argument with her boyfriend in the room and put him in the middle of a very awkward situation? I was chatting with him this morning (and apologising) and apparently I did the right thing using the evacuation vs decapitation approach (walking away rather than ripping her head off) was the right thing to do even though it annoyed her even more in the short term. Still, I really cannot wait for WOD to move out so that my blood pressure can come down.

I'm on Ciprofloxacin for two weeks... apparently the calcium in dairy products inhibits the absorbtion, as do indigestion remedies or anything containing iron and zinc. If I drink alcohol while taking them I'll prolly be sick :( And they stop the pill from working, so it's not exactly a ban on sex but sex with barrier methods instead, which are known to be a contributing cause of bladder infections, which obviously I would rather avoid right now!
Although it's a moot point really, as everything is so painful down there I can't imagine wanting to have sex for a while yet anyway...

Haha, I'm now imagining a horde of righteous badgers bringing justice over the interweb.
I don't want to be too harsh with spakka - he's very eloquent and has a florid imagination. However, I do think that he's overstepped good taste boundaries amongst friends. I can see why TGB would feel awkward.

It was also quite handy for the speediness of my prescription - I spoke to the doctor on the phone, then he had a word with the pharmacist and told her what to give me, and then she gave it me.

I've done the exact same thing. Asked a mate how his wife's pregnancy was coming on, only to get the reply, "She's lost it".
Makes you feel like shit, but of course he understood I of course had no idea and was pleased I was interested enough to ask after her in the first place.
Two kids, three cats and a vasectomy later, and things are fine with them.

I watched a very disturbing programme last night about people that are sexually attracted to machines, such as cars.
One guy claimed that he had had sex with Airwolf, and nearly cried when he talked about it crashing.
And then, the docco crew caught him cranking one off the wrist over another guys car (a TransAm Pontiac) in a motel car park in the dead of night (he'd also left an obvious ejection by the wheel of their truck).
The documentary closed with what I think is an Oscar Winning line:
"Dude, did you Jizz on my car?"
