No, none of the above


I was in Sydenham Woods at the time of the incident


So I adopted the "in the field" technique of first aid. Mainly, I swore a bit and squeezed it, then I sucked it until the blood stopped & I got bored


It's changed my typing style (ha-style)


I'm now drinking coffee

I have this weird mental picture of someone performing CPR on your arse. I have to say, it's quite rude...

I blame the underwear Ms.B. It's the underwear. Proper underwear would have protected you from this type of thing I'm sure.

It was twelve thirty-sixish pm on Sunday. I was returning home after an unexceptional visit to Halfords.


I parked the car on the paved-over font garden that we in the suburbs refer to as ?the drive? and made my way to the front door.


Midway through the second step of the three it takes to do this my nostrils were assaulted by that instantly recognisable smell best described as, ?drains?.


Further investigation, which involved the shifting of a manhole cover and the ejaculating of a few swear words, revealed a particularly unpleasant subterranean problem in the sewer.


?I?ll call the plumber about it tomorrow.? Said my wife, and long-suffering protagonist in my Saga Conditio Humana.

I'm pretty sure it's not as I don't go purple in the face coughing when I have hayfever, and anyway no normal pollen could make it through the torrents of snot. Plus several people I know had something similar that lasted a month or so. Only another few days to go then.


Alan Medic, I've been coughing so hard I suspect it's only the sensible underwear preventing a prolapse and total incontinence.

    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
