If I drink any more Lemsip I am going to throw up.
Being off sick when you actually are is no fucking fun at all, is it?

Jamiesons in hot ribena is a very good cold remedy and at least as effective as lemsip.

I've got a bloody nasty cold on its way in
I've been nomming on Strepsils like billy-o. This is unrelated, I just like them. Although I've just had a Cool one, with its industrial grade menthol and the guy next to me has just used a phone sanitiser. The first time my nose has been clear in hours and it's being stuffed full of nappy-smell.

I watched 'Bronson' yesterday morning
Once I'd got over the disappointment that it wasn't about 'Mr Bronson' from 'Grange Hill' it was pretty good.

Typically, as soon as the BT engineers turned up there was a scene set in a strip club with a nekkid bird writhing around on screen, so it looked like I was unashamedly watching a porn film. I was clad only in a dressing gown too, to add to the illusion.
