Stress. And not enough greens. ;)

I don't believe in the former, and there was definately spinnach in my sag aloo, and green things in my chinky...

Apples are cheaper than takeaway too. :)

More Fish and Fish Oli required aswel as Natural Vitamins. ;)

Brandy and Stones Ginger Wine. :y
Everyone in our family has had this really bad cough and cold but it's avoiding me so far touch wood. I'm kidding myself that it's the Brandy and Ginger that's keeping it at bay. ::)
The trouble is, I've got to keep having my nightly dose as you never know what's lurking, so I daren't stop. ;) :y
Man-Flu and bad cold, aren't they the same thing. According to Mrs YZ they are. :-\ :)

Fish. Another one of my silly, gay allergies :-[. I used to be able to eat a Birdseye Cod Fishfinger (so no fish there then!), but even that makes my call to the Lord down the big white telephone now :-[

That it! I've not touched a drop of alcohol since the Friday after xmas, and I fell ill late the following night, and not been better since.
The manflu was proper manflu, the type where you're laying on the sofa, and seriously considering wetting yourself, as you haven't the energy get up and walk crawl across the hall to the bog.

You should have been in bed, not on the sofa ::) if you're well enough to watch daytime telly, you should be at work, or sectioned :y

I'm afraid I am able to confirm it is no myth. Admittedly with the shite we get here you have to eat a bucketload.
When we go to Cyprus, Mrs TB likes to go to the famous lace village, Lefkara, to buy some ol' tut. As I have to drive her, but have no interest in lace, I normally sit in the bar/cafe overlooking the carpark drinking orange juice (and bro and I have drunk them dry of oranges, apparently it takes about 6 oranges to get a pint), and then end up breaking the speed limits to get home (no service stations on Cypriot motorways for emergency "sit downs") ;D. Every bloody year this happens, you'd think I'd learn, but it's awfully nice orange juice.

I was most of it, but did stumble down when she got home from work, just for company. Even if I was mostly asleep

We were watching the news on evening, afterwards she went in the kitchen to make tea, and came back in and found I'd sat (well, layed) through the One Show and was "watching" knobenders - 2 of the trashiest programmes known to man. I just didn't have the will to reach across for the remote to turn it off/over.

Previous company used to offer it, along with bollock fondling and fingering up the arse. Needless to say, I never took it up. Unlike one of my colleagues who used to go for the arse fingering every few months, and looked forward to it :-\
I'm not good with needles. In fact, last time I had a big prick in the arse was when I was taken to hospital in the back of an ice cream van, and the old matron type figure caught me unawares. I wondered why she asked me to drop 'em when I had facial/head injries. Secretly, glad it wasn't one of the pretty nurses, who'd been cleaning me up before the quacks could see the damage, as you know they wouldn't have got it in first time.

b) its full of sick people

Heres some food for thought TB.....
I assume Mrs TB has a handheld blitzer gadget ....
Shopping list for Mrs TB
1 x Large Onion
2 x Large Carrots
2 x sticks of celery
3 x Large Courgettes
1 x bottle of Lazy Garlic (Mrs TB will know what this is)
1 x bottle of Lazy Chilli
1 x bottle of Lazy Ginger
2 x Veg Stock cubes
Roughly chop the veg up, add as much of the chilli, garlic, ginger as you like.....add 2 litres of water with the stock cubes....and simmer for 30 mins or so until the carrots have gone soft.....let it cool down and blitz......lovely 'hot' soup for the week .... and defo counts as your 'one of your 5 a day' :y
Just made some myself :y

Nothing compared to the shock of the nurse trying to inject one.
It would be one jab that bit back.

They're friendly enough normally, just take exception to somebody sticking a (compared to them) bloody great needle in their neck. I've even seen em bend said needle by spinning around when stuck with it. So naturally if a target to express their displeasure on comes into view they'll go in all fangs and claws.

I had something similar to that when I was away in Seattle last - I still haven't got rid of the resulting cough and sinusitis and it started in the middle of December! But trying to sleep while essentially hallucinating? Worst thing I've experienced so far in my life..
-
I can see why people jump out of hotel windows sometimes when on holiday. Because I cought something on holiday in Italy that had me in a right state.
Full body ejection both ends might suggest something i'd eaten. But severe delirium, halusintions of a giant roast turkey filling the room, and firmly believing I was Concorde while sat on the bog in said full ejection mode, might suggest a virus. Although it lasted 4 days, I still had ever decreasingly severe episodes for several years after.
Christ knows what that was.
But in a state of delirium and very convincing hallucinations, I firmly remember walking around the balcony 5 story's up and only just keeping a grip on reality enough not to try flying.
A very very unpleasant experience. :(

Apparently, our Tescos is quite poor. Supposed to have a decent sized Sainos opening this year, but they haven't even started, and I'm not sure if some stupid, pointless, poxy train line might have killed that idea.
We do, however, have a small Waitrose, that I'm told is quite reasonable for its size.

Its bloody Reading! Reading council. Reading bins. We're nearer Reading. Its just Reading. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Accept it and move on. Sigh...::)
And don't give me all that BT based rubbish about it being Reading as its a Reading(spit) area code. So is Reading a Reading code, as is Burghfield, Theale, Whinnersh etc.
Its Reading.
Bloody village bumpkins. ;D

Being a country bumpkin, I can see things in a simplistic way. You have a conurbation, lets call it "Reading". Then you have some countryside. Then you have another conurbation, lets call it "Reading".
Remind me, is that green, countryside area between you and "Reading", or you and "Reading"? So what town does that mean you live in? :P

Oh go on, move the goal posts, it was the area codes last time. We pay our council tax to WDC. I wish we where in Reading from that point of view, as council tax is Reading is much more expensive. Quite deliberately, to keep the Reading chavs out. ::)
I am aware though, that this is heading in a "Hyacinth Bucket" direction. ;D ;D ;D

Oh go on, move the goal posts, it was the area codes last time. We pay our council tax to WDC. I wish we where in Reading from that point of view, as council tax is Reading is much more expensive. Quite deliberately, to keep the Reading chavs out. ::)
I am aware though, that this is heading in a "Hyacinth Bucket" direction. ;D ;D ;D
OK, lets try again...
What does the Royal Mail class you as, Reading or Reading?
And yes, I'd bet a gonad that your phone number had a Reading STD rather than a Reading area code.
So, there we are, you live in Reading. You know it, I know it, my mother's dog knows it (except she doesn't have a dog). Reading. Like Friday is Friday, and today is Tuesday.
Reading.

Villagers don't understand these things.

Reading.
Brackley is a village. Not a town. Its a village hall not a town hall. Its full of villagers not townies. It has the same Std code as Buckingham. The nearest town is Buckingham there for you live in Buckingham.
Well that's what your saying, by your own rules. Or is Banbury closer? ;D
And may I direct the observantly honourable Admin to my earlier post. Reading has the same std code as Reading. 0118 ! Same as all the other towns south of Reading.
Its Reading!

Actually, that doesn't work does it. :-[ ;D
Anyway, who cares its Friday tomorrow. ;) ;D

Brakker's town hall is a, errr, town hall, making the place a town. I'm sure some of the more snobbish residents like to think its a village, but it ain't.
That said, Buckingham is probably nearer to Brakkers than Reading is to Chez Gixer. Fortunately, Banbury is over the border in Oxfordshire, so that doesn't count. Phew!
Just checked on RM's site, my town is definately Brakkers. Remind me, what do they say about your address?
Reading.
Are you proud to be a Readingite ::)

No. No, no, no, no, NO!
Tomorrow is Wednesday. Sadly.

Humour the poor lad ... He doesn't even know where he lives .. he can't remember which tyres he should buy.... and you expect him to know which day of the week it is ???
Perhaps we should all text him first thing every day ... Reading, Falkens, [correct day of week] .. so it gets ingrained into his mind ... ??
:) :) :)

If you think I'm working another two days, through the weekend no less, after a week on shift, your mistaken.
Tomorrow is Friday, its the end if the working week. FRIDAY!

When I used to do a real job, Reading had a proper STD, as did Reading. Not one of those silly, gay 011 numbers ;D. Mind you, last time I did a real job, any number starting 01 meant you wanted to talk to Londonium ;D

Just as well he has a good woman to look after him and organise him. He'd never survive otherwise ;D

Is it spanner proof?
-
Is that the same as retard proof?
Maybe. But it also keeps their brain waves from escaping and infecting others. ;)

I was thinking more of protection in the case of a garage malfunction in the Brackers area.
-
Yep, it's a multi functioning device. Apparently

And may I direct the observantly honourable Admin to my earlier post. Reading has the same std code as Reading. 0118 ! Same as all the other towns south of Reading.
Except Bracknell.
Although on this basis, can I claim to live in West Ascot? :P

Now your just being silly ;D

Hmmm, on that basis do I live in Brighton, Guildford or Chichester :D
-
But North of Newbury. Which is the nearest town to get a different area code.
-
Now bog off. It's Reading.
-
But North of Newbury. Which is the nearest town to get a different area code.
Hmm.. Reading->Newbury, 30 miles. Reading->Bracknell, 6 miles. You could move less distance and still get that elusive different dialling code :P
Of course, where you are to Newbury is more like 22 miles on account of how far from Reading you are :P :P
(How long before Chris gets the 'ump? ;D)
-
I'm fine where I am as far as distance to Reading goes, it's a mare to get in and out of.
...as is, that Pikey camp, Bracknell. :P
-
Anybody care to guess where the switch and network centre for Reading is.....(As Reading exchange has bugger all in it)
-
Whitley?
-
I'm going with Reading..
-
I'm going with Reading..
Ta da!
Give that man a mortgage! ;D
-
Whitley?
Which is in south Reading
-
Whitley is to Reading that Sneinton is to Nottingham
-

Hang on, I don't want another one unless someone is paying the first one off for me.. ;D
Whitley is to Reading that Sneinton is to Nottingham
The place where the poo goes? (Ref: the Whitley Whiff, rather than the fact it's a giant council estate!)
-
That's correct. The Whitley Wiff though, no longer exists. And has helped the housing market no end.
Including Reading. As Whitleyites can now afford to move. Hence everyone else, in turn, wants to live away from the Whitleyites that have just moved in next to them. ::)
-

It must have been coming from that nasty brewery lager factory, then. ::)

That's gone too, so has Hewlitt Packard.

Indeed. been replaced by a giant desk fan. Maybe that's blowing the smell towards Reading Reading?
-
That desk fan (;D ) instead of supplying all the electric to Green park trading estate area as advertised, instead cost 3million in repairs and up keep to keep running AFTER it was installed. So not including install costs.
Although it was in the papers so god alone knows what the real story is.

That was never supplying the Green Park ..... the owner would have been supplying the national grid ALL the power produced at 45p/unit feed in tariff.....IMO of course.....why supply the park when you can get more $ by supplying the national grid??
IIRC its privately owned .... so the income from it must outweigh the £3 million in repair costs :-\

Seeing as I was in the room where it all is 2 or 3 months back, would it be unfair to answer?
READING!
