So yeah, there seems to be a few ill people about tonight.
By ill, I mean myself, CHCB, and by default the missus, even though she hasn't posted. She had to go and get some shopping before so I asked if she'd get some cans of Murphys as I find that it really helps with a sore throat. Low and behold, 2 cans each later and we're no longer barking like a couple of hair lipped seals.

How do you cope with the lurgy?

Alt Q: Who would you like to punch in the face more? Alan Sugar or Theo Panathynaikos (or whatever) off Dragon's Den?

Disclaimer: I don't watch either so I really don't give a shit. Personally I'd go for Simon Cowell, even though I don't watch that shite either; I just think that a middle aged man should fucking know how to dress himself by now.

I cure myself
with copious amounts of paracetomal, hot whisky and miserable whining. Very effective.

Alt Q: I'd love to punch them both in the face.

I kill it with those cold n flu tablets
and hot vimto. Homemade chicken soup if I can keep it down, and bed with book and blankets if I can blag time off work.
I don't watch any reality tv because it's all shite. Both, perhaps - for having a lot more money than me.

I don't take any much in the way of medication
but I do like hot spicy soups like Tom Yam. Mostly I just give up good and early. I know when it's not going to get any better without rest and that's the end of it, no soldiering on or any of that shite. Plus the people in the office get really narked if you stay spluttering and wheezing germs.

I'll tell you who I'd like to punch in the face
the group of about 8 14 year old girls who asked me for a cigarette, and when I said no, threw drinks at me and then started following me down the dark and secluded road that I take home from the bus stop.

I was genuinely a little scared but thankfully a siren went past (god bless Camberwell- when else would I ever be ever to say that) and they all scarpered. I just took the long way round and gave a cigarette to a tramp who asked nicely and didn't throw his special brew at me.

I'm pissed off. I'd had a lovely night until then :(

That's a shame
I had a slightly different, but 'kids want tabs' experience at a Tesco Metro a while ago.

Me: Get 'em yourself!
Kids: Mate, just get 'em yeah?
Me: No.
Kids: I'd hate for your car to get scratched
Me: Fuck off.
Kids: Look, we're skint, just get us the fags
Me: What? You're not even prepared to pay for them? Fuck off.

And so I walked into the shop laughing.

They were still trying to get someone else to buy (and pay) for smokes for them when I came out, unsurprisingly, my car was fine.

My friends in Bermondsey are paying something like £330 for a 3 bed flat with similar spec, but no garden, not so many white goods, and the living area's smaller. And then I know people in Kennington paying £360 between 2. I'm not too sure North of the river though.
