Wow man the Adelaide jealousy is strong in here. What’s the matter Craig, are you missing writers week and the festivals?

Don’t blame me, I’m just quoting certain experts. I’m sure it’s a charming “Piss-ant Town”, whatever that means.
I’m sure Adelaide is dead nice. Everywhere is, really.
Overheard in a bar in Jersey:
“What’s it the fuckin’ Russians say for cheers?”
“I dunno. Strongbow or some shit.”

Hope everything will be okay!
I hope so, all I need is Amoxycillin, i had this before when I saw the GP, i know what i have but called the NHS helpline and they said if your symptoms get worse go to the treatment centre hub. They could have prescribed me antibiotics over the phonr and i could have started the antibiotics course yesterday.
I didn’t want to wait until tomorrow to see the GP, i don’t want it becoming a chest infection

I know, but i know my symptoms and they can’t fob me off, as i say to them ’ i am a microbiologist ’ , i know an infection when i see and feel one, and when i mention a few medical terms, they take me seriously.
I am trying to save them and hospital the time. I don’t want a chest infection

Definitely not. I lost most of January with pneumonia and it’s not nice.

How are you now? If you have chest congestion, try honey 
with warm water.
Sort of, I am abit better than this morning. Yes, i put honey in every hot drink. Now, on the green tea, with ginger, lemon and honey.
In bed with the radio on and waiting for the match.

Crush some ginger and extract the juice. Mix it with honey and have a tablespoon every morning for 3 days.
I have been doing that since Thursday mate. I am fed up 
Last month, pavements outside ours dug up for fibre installation.
Pavement repair not finished after infill.
Workers said they’d been told by the council to leave it temporary as new street lighting being installed and they would finish off.
New and additional street lights installed, these workers have no information about finishing off previous work.
Pavements remain a potential tripping hazard, especially to my missus who is vision impaired.
Upside.
Sky getting binned when the internet is fast enough to use my dodgy Firestick.
At least I’ll be able to see my missus after she’s tripped over.

Well there was a lot of crap going on but we won the FA Cup and United were relegated. It had something going for it.
No there wasn’t, life was so easy back then
