Well, for the 3rd year running, Santa was kind enough to bring me a virus, so I am just starting my 5th day in bed, with no end in sight. Apologies to anyone who has sent an email/order since Boxing Day, I'll be getting on to them as soon as i'm able to.
:(
Thanks for all the custom and support over 2012, and Happy New Year to you all.

Old Eskimo Shaman cure for cold/flu is to take a virgin to bed ( Not for hanky panky) but so her purity will help make your body pure and free from illness.
Trouble is living in Middlesbrough you arn't likely to find one :d :d
Get Well Leon.

Personally I find it quite heartening that even when responding to such troubling events, we never allow our compassion to raise the level of our minds above gutter-level. ;)

I defy any red-blooded heterosexual male to not feel better after a visit from this one:

... Wait up... I'm married! Pants
Well after an emergency doctor call out at 5am this morning, I've now got a course of antibiotics to get me back on my feet. Hopefully they do the trick, cos I've lost over a week's worth of work now, and there's going to be a fair old pile up when I get back down the unit!
Good stuff - glad you're on the mend...just make sure that you don't overdo it when you get back - don't want you to relapse :)
Yeah, it takes more than a few hours to get over something like that. And remember, the graveyards are full of indispensable men (thought that would cheer you up!) :D
Glad to hear the you are (hopefully) on the mend.

Hope you're feeling better Leon! Pretty much my entire family on both sides in England has come down with either flu or norovirus this christmas. Makes me glad I'm in Canada...
It will sort out the overpopulation of Pensioners tho. ;)

Leon: get better soon. I'm on my second run of antibiotics myself. ;)
Wouldn't be so bad if the order I'd put in through the Warstore here in the States would get here... need something to paint while I'm down. :-\
I've always said that Sana is a dick.
Hope the antibiotics do the trick Leon!
Hmm, sick too heh. Over here, one after the other has succumbed in the last weeks, I was last, and it wasn't all that bad as the others, as if I got a diluted version or something, just a few days out of action, in the middle of my holiday, sadly enough. Hope you get well soon, Leon. And as Nick says, don't overdo it, these things have got to get out of your system again.

Hold up, hold up... When I'm in charge <) I wouldn't have all the Pensioners arrested and hung in the town square for using more cash than was originally expected and are pushing up the Pension age (and possibly ending public pensions all together) just the ones over the 'expected' age limit. And even then, I would be a corrupt dictator!!! I can defiantly take Tec, JFO and Herts, off the list, don't worry! Jesus what do you guys take me for fair! :d
Since Pension age was set at avearge life expectancy in 1904? (well sumat like that), and for men it was 65yrs and 6mnths, with women just over 60, might be a tad harsh......

Since insurance mortality tables show that, on average, women live four years longer than men, there's something amiss there. :-\
But things have changed -
There used to be a high percentage chance of Women dying in child birth, and the wore long skirts in houses heated with open fires, causing the obvious conflagtaions.
Lloyd-George who introduced the pensions was a pretend Welshman - hence prudent - even more so than Gordon Brown........
IanS
As far as I'm concerned, I should not have to pay for the fact that they were wrong with the estimates. I'm certainly not going to pay into something and then be told I'm not getting my share back.
I also love the way the Chancellor is enforcing this work based pension... I wonder why? Is it do they can go "whoops no more cash, soz mate, that money you paid is had gone, good thing we got that work based pensions, that was a luckey coincidence!"
And yet my Wife's grandparents and all there 75-95 yr old mate say its us lazy youths that has messed Britan up... I left school and have worked ever since. I think what they did during WW2 was famtastic*, but Sorry old man that there ain't any Nazis for me to punch in the face, does not mean I ain't helping Britan out!
Rant done!
* Although when I ask "WW2 what did you do, fly spirfire/ hurricane, tank crew, infantry, Lancaster?" The Respons so far "Sat in India, nothing happens" "WRAF, nothing happened" and other such boring tales.

Hope you're at last starting to feel better !!
Cheers - Phil
Get well ;)
Eh, Leon's been quite for a while guys. Here's a stick... Who's going to go prod him?
Poor chap must be still be feeling really rough.
Anyone got any news ?
Cheers - Phil.
Managed a few hours at work on Monday, then threw up again and came home. :( Going to try again today, but my energy levels are non-existant at the moment.

Don't rush back Leon, you will only make it worse.

Pleased you feel a
bit better Leon....But don't push it !
I
know you'll be tempted to though.
Take care Matey.
Cheers - Phil
Take it easy, sir.
Thanks guys, but I need to get back sooner rather than later, I've already lost 2 weeks worth of planning/organising for 2013, and we'll be hitting the shows in the next few weeks again!
:(
I know it's much easier said than done Leon....
But try and ease yourself back slowly.
I know I'm being a hypocrite....I know I'd be trying to do the same thing myself.
Again...Take care.
Very best wishes - Phil.
Yeah, easy does it, Leon.
Chill matey! Mebs do the planing etc from home. If you don't look after yourself you will be off even longer.
I know where you're at Leon. I'm the one-man IT guy here for a medical facility. It's hit me hard since before Christmas. But we got through with me working remotely. (I can't come in if I'm running a fever lest I spread it around.)
Figure out what you can do from home and continue to rest up. ;)

Back to work this week, so trawling through the backlog at the moment.
On the 30YW figures, is that through Warstore? If so, we only received that order yesterday, so it's currently in the casting queue.
