Just saying like. I thought I’d get this out of the way before the years end. For all I know I may suffer from a massive Myocardial infarction or some such.
But hey, look on the bright side. Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh……………………….
Just kidding.
Just remember mate .. a man who can retain his sense of humour, when all seems to be going to rat-shit, can survive anything ..
ReplyDeleteKeep yer chin up oppo .. ;)
Why consider the UPs and DOWNs -- Mr Cameron's index will soon let us know how happy we are and there's plenty of studies from the righteous telling us we're doomed if we're enjoying life too much!
ReplyDeleteBloody hell does this mean Ying and Yang are real?
ReplyDeleteToo right they are Bill ..
ReplyDeleteA pair of right little ravers from Sembawang village .. ;)
Peptic ulcer? Sorted with the right anti-biotic regime.
ReplyDeleteAussie doctors discovered the bacterial cause of ulcers, got pooh-poohed by the "Establishment" for years and years, until they were shown to be right!
Had an ulcer meself; no beer, no curry etc for a couple of years, then suddenly it was "Take these twice a day for a week or two" and all was well.
Hope all other relatives continue to recover.
My first ulcer treatment was a milk diet.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame 'cos it turns out the bacteria thrived on milk - we're brought up to trust the medical profession.
