Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

[Emperor]

My current minor impediment: The fist few continuous days of warm weather have prompted something into sending out great waves of pollen and so, despite the allergy medication, my nose and eyes are streaming - it looks like I've been watching a sad film probably one featuring a lovable animal dying of some terrible disease. Experience suggests my body'll rebalance in a day or so but until then I am producing my own weight in snot a day. Which seems like a wasted resources, could it not be made into food? What is the nutritional value of boggies? Is that what Soylent Green really is? To the Internet machine...

2). Bugs all up in my shit.

This will teach you a lesson for hoarding it around the house.

I have a giant bite on my left buttcheek, elbow and shoulder and I don't want to be in a position where I can't bite my fingernails. EDIT: And also on my back, I would guess next to the fourth link on my spine. I have to use a pen.

Take an antihistamine and/or use some antihistamine cream.

Should have PMed me. Best cable to use is RG6 with dielectric core not honeycombe. Most electrical shops would know the relevant f connectors you would require.

Cheers. I had a word with my friend who knows a lot about it and he was rather disparaging about the quality of cable used too, barely adequate for normal satellite TV and really not up to HD. So it sounds like they might need to get it rewired at some point but as they've just moved and they've got a 1-year-old it might have to wait quite a while.

I managed to take a dive down a short flight of concrete steps in my back garden. Grazed most of my face and smashed out a crown. Luckily the dentist managed to glue that back in for a mere £75, but now my right eye is purple and swollen shut, my right arm seems effectively disabled and I can only turn my neck by about 5 degrees.

To add insult to injury there appears to be a colony of bees nesting underneath the bottom step and, by the feel of it, a few of them put the boot in while I was down.

Do I qualify?

And the way the "same week digital" thing is going us digital readers might not see it until August.

It cost me £20 to park in Brighton last night.
I parked the car at 5.55. If I had got there at 6.00 it would have cost the evening rate of £4.50.
Bastards.

If you'd've used the extra five minutes to send someone into a shop to buy the prog while you drove around the block, you would have saved yourself £13.15. Proof positive digital progs are a false economy.

It looks like I may have fractured my wrist last weekend. In my defence, I was running away from a zombie...

[Noisybast]

Just out of A&E. Happily, nothing seems to be broken. On the down side, I may have torn a ligament

[TordelBack]

Ouch and double ouch Jon and Noisy!

They're putting up bunting outside my house in preperation for the upcoming celebrations in honour of the Arch Traitoress. Bunting indeed. Grr.

The guy I've been working with for the past 6 months is a real hero when it comes to not having sickies, he reckons he's not taken a day in the last 12 years.

The problem is he was coughing and spluttering all over the place at work last week, hence why I am off sick today with a nasty little virus.

[staticgirl]

Oh I hate that. It's all right for them being so tough but any one with a compromised immune system is f***ed.

FUCKING CLOUDS

The bane of all budding amateur astronomers.

And also amateur astrologers, but fuck those guys

FUCKING CLOUDS, HOW DO THEY WORK?
