Blather, Waffle and Poppycock!

Went into hospital to have my tonsils removed aged 7 or 8.

Wasn't sure what was going to happen and developed a nervous cough.

Had my tonsils removed and was back in the ward about to have ice cream and jelly when the consultant came in on his rounds. Heard my cough and said,"Better send him home, we can't operate on him, he's got whooping cough!"

Ward Sister looks stricken and says,"He's just back from surgery."

Instant panic, much running about by staff followed by much poking and prodding by concerned doctors.

Almost six weeks off school while I recovered ... Yay!

Never did get that ice cream and jelly ...

What makes it worse is that he was trying to remove a tonsil.

Classic, Mike !!

Bonus and bogus in equal measures.

Right......Who wants to have a quick sweep-stake.....Just for fun.

How many times has Leon checked Pendraken emails on his phone, while he's been having well deserved break ?

I'll go for 15.....Though I reckon that'll be way too low.

And we'll have to take his word for it when he returns.

I think Milady's charms will keep his attention off the email. 

So I vote 0. 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

He dragged Milady up Coniston Old Man yesterday, so he might be in the dog house today! 

[Techno]

The only way you could know that, Will.....Is, if he's posted something on faceache...or if you sent him an email, and he's already replied.

So that's ONE look at his phone, at the very minimum.

Milady posted it... 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Grrrrr....

Argh...

Etc...

Over the summer we gutted the old shower area to become a futility room. However, the plumber has failed to check the drain (despite being told explicitly to do so), two hours of using the neighbour's drain rods, and it's completely blocked still.
Glad I checked the washer before running a full load!

I have to denounce Sunjester as traitor. Again. For the same crime ("you don't need that wargame stuff")

Last night he claimed I don't need every ship that fought at Trafalgar.

[Ithoriel]

Well, of course you don't!

............

You need every British, French and Spanish ship of the time, present or not!

I know that, have a word with Sj.

On a related note, does anyone have any WizzKids Pirates of the Spanish Main ships they want to sell?

THAT is a right sod !

Can you rod it from another point, Will ?

I trust the plumber hasn't let small bits of 'rubble' go down there, and that's what's causing the block.

Good luck, Matey.

Rods didn't clear it last night, and I've left it in the capable hands of my father-in-law as I'm away playing toy soldiers this weekend (although my train and the two after was cancelled due to rugby fans not wanting to drive their train).
