Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I seem to have reached the age where, when something like that happens, a small part of me can't help but think, "Is this it? Is this where my life changes forever...."

P.S.
Stop being such at Woosie

Thanks guys. I'm touched.

Phew!

While we're on the subject of age, on Tuesday this week which happened to be my birthday, I was in London. I got up, got dressed and walked the mile or so along Picadilly to The Royal Acadamy where I queued for half an hour or so before getting in to see the Van Gogh exhibition. I wandered around the exhibition for about an hour and a half and then walked up to Chinatown where I had something to eat in a restaurant I used to frequent twenty-five years ago, The Canton. After my bowl of noodle soup I took a taxi to The Vic, checked my overcoat in the cloakroom, went up to the cardroom and put my name on a couple of lists and sat in the bar area and ordered a cup of tea.

I then looked down and noticed that my flies were undone !

Not to worry. Just so long as you wearing your old school tie.

+1 on the could be stones see your doctor

although that hardly needs saying, of course you're off to see the doctor. It's far less of a strain on the nhs than turning up at a&e (which you were 5 minutes away from) and you're obv not a man who likes to make a fuss.

Correct. (Except for the bit highlighted in bold) If the problem persists, I will go to see the quack.

I might be daft, but I'm not stupid.

[thetank]

I have the opposite problem, I'm stupid but I'm not daft.

I am nearly recovered from a case of costochondritis, which is an inflammation of the cartilage where the ribs join the sternum. 

Anyway, I had a stomach upset, and whilst lying in bed feeling sorry for myself with a fever, I felt the pain in my chest in the region where my heart is pretty much located.  That was slightly worrying, as there is a history of heart-disease in my family and it's something I will always be concerned about and it's one of the reasons I try to eat a healthy diet (on the whole). 

So that was pretty scary, but then when I felt a pain in the upper part of my left arm I was thinking "oh no, that's not good"!  Of course, I soon realised it wasn't to do with my heart, but for a split second I became very aware of my mortality and although I'm not afraid of dying, I remember thinking that I didn't want to die just yet, and neither did I want to have a dodgy heart with the sword of Damocles hanging over me waiting for the big one for the next 20-odd years or so.

im not afraid of dying either, but i am afraid for the poor bastards that will have to carry my in a wooden box....

I've asked to be cremated, stuffed into a large Bulmer's bottle (have a special request put in for them to make one large enough), and taken on a proper piss up/pub crawl.  Obviously, this would be followed by an all night rockin house party.  Then any time after 6am that morning, they're to toss me in the ocean and meet back in the pub by noon for 'the cure'.

Now I'm as anti whaling as the next man, or woman. (Well, perhaps where women are concerned, it should be auntie whaling) but whatever, surely this is absolute bollocks?

It's a complete non-story.  I'd imagine that far more carbon has been released through our farming of cattle - probably by a huge factor.

That farting cow theory is a load of bullshit too.
