Kelvin, it sounds like you have the far more serious man-flu, not just a mere man-cold.

Apologies for keeping you at arm’s length in Church – just got over a dose of lesbian man-cold a few weeks ago, which I generously passed to all my colleagues at work. Having been persona non grata for that I thought I just shouldn’t risk it. Service last night was beautiful. -
Kelvin,
The hardest thing to accept, when you’re not well, is that you really are ill. The best thing to do is to keep away from other people and stay in bed with a hot water bottle, and preferably with a hot toddy laced with plenty of whisky. It won’t do you any good, but it might make you feel better.
Get better soon. Andrew -
Wrap yourself up in a warm bed with a comfort book and perhaps some comfort music (and this time of year allows carol singing as comfort music). I would suggest hot chicken soup (hot and sour Chinese style chicken soup maybe) instead of a hot toddy with whiskey.

Considered opinion on Sunday is that is was not man-flu, but provost-flu 😉

‘Tis the season. I have had it for two weeks now. The first week I was a good muchacho and just used cold pills to relieve the symptoms, caldo de pollo con chili (it really opens the sinuses) and té del limón con tequila. Because I know that colds and flu are caused by viruses, I did not do the Mexican thing and go buy an antibiotic.
But then the fluids turned green and yellow, which is the sign of a secondary bacterial infection, so I am taking amoxicilina con acido clavulanico, and slowly getting better.

Was good to see we had the Precious Provostorial Presence in our midst last night – tissues and all. And even better to see the digits getting some exercise today – suggests there’s maybe been a slight turn for the better, despite missing out on a most medicinal port – do try port as a remedy, David – MUCH more effective than trying dreadful things with my poor chooks, who are trembling on their perches at the thought of erp’s suggestions…….

Are you languishing on your chaise longue with a blood-stained handkerchief held limply in your outstretched pale hand? If so, I fear it may be consumption.
But no listening to Christmas carols, mind.

Big Ben
I wonder why no-one has offered to resign over the protesters climbing Big Ben yesterday in the middle of the greatest security alert that Britain has ever been in the middle of. I would have thought that someone was responsible – some police-person if not David Blunkett himself. Strange.

Guest Sermon Slot
I'm not preaching today – someone else has kindly offered to do so.So here is a guest preacher, who begins his sermon on the Prodigal thus: The story of the Prodigal Son is most often seen in personal, psychological ways, as a story of family pathos. A self-centered child runs away from home, sows his…

I've just discovered rss
I've installed an aggregator. What wonderful time saving software – I wonder why i never used one before. Well actually, I think I did try one last year, but it did not work. An aggregator is used to monitor all the blogs and websites which one might have an interest it, polling them every hour…
