I am vewwy pweased to hewe it as I imbibed somewhat of the gwain AND the gwape and then some more of another gwape and then another gwape and man looked at gwape and gwape looked at man and pwetty soon it was impwossible to tell which was man and which was gwape.

Then I went to bed, not in my normal bed-an extraordinary and unique bed but all the same normal-as I am awa on business this week, and pwomptly lost consciousness in the sense that I was no longer awake. On waking this morning I was alarmed to feel absolutely fine when I was quite expecting to feel somewhat unwell as the gwape and the gwain do not contain a great affection for each other when brought together inside this manly behemoth that you would see before you if you were standing next to me and not reading this from your own little sactum sanctorum somewhere east of here-if you think about it everywhere is east of here eventually.

So now a couple of hours later the twuth is appawent, that the gwape and the gwain had indeed conspired with that third party called incohol to cweep up on me now that I am at work and yes now I am feeling decidedly blooody awful sowwy about that can't think what came over me, oh yes thats the whole point though isn't it, I do know what came over me or at least the source of the conspiracy that led to this damned state and of course it had nothing to do with free will or choice that I am in this dreadful shuddersome condition.

Please do not think that I am looking for sympathy, Ok you saw through my ruse, I AM looking for sympathy by the plane load, so I'll wait here by this hangar and see what rolls up.......... tic toc...................................................tic..........toc...............................................................

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww - you hooked me in, you poor thing!

I too have done the gwain and the gwape - and there is little worse than a delayed hangover - you poor thing. I DO hope you will be feeling better soon.

have you had lots of vitamin B1, and water, and fructose, and such?

there, there. Hope you feel better later.

Oh, and aspirin...and eno and such.

I am been in a reflective mood today. By now you must have read abt my horror stroy regarding my wisdom tooth - which needs immediate surgery. I am lucky enough to have private medical insurance provided by my company, and enough money to go through surgery privately, if I did not have that insurance (the surgery will cost abt 1500 pounds).

Apparently, the waiting list for getting this operation done through National health services (where this would have been done for free) is about 4 months. Considering the amount of pain this is causing me (almost unbearable, and I cant eat any solid, nor can open my mouth fully, even to speak) I was wondering what happens to the average bloke who gets into this kind of medical trouble ? To wait for 4 months is torture beyond all imaginable extremes.

Shouldn't be sorting out our own house before sorting out others ?(read my lips I R A Q)

Debs,

Ta muchly. Lots and lots of water, also managed a couple of bananas I think that the calcium and potassium are good for you and very bravely just had a turkey baguette which hopefully will stabilise the listing ship.

Gautam,

Horror of horrors - I expect we poor people would juts have to wait or do like Tom Hanks did in Castaway - ouch !!!!

Yikes! England once HAD a health system, too.

A lot of people from England go to "third world" countries to get emergency surgery done - its quicker, cheaper and hospitals are more cleaner. Honestly, have you ever seen the state of NHS hospitals ??

No. I could have used your reassurance when I was in Greece and the damn teeth swelled up something fierce.

(Greasy food, hiama. chrissake, you live in a country where every breakfast is full of hangover food! your modest debauchery and tardy crapulousness was brilliantly described, though.)

Poor, poor Gautam! Hope that horrid tooth is liberated from your poor aching jaw but quick.

why does greasy food work, do you think? I am told it is a sovereign remedy - I just cannot bear it - though I ate some chicken skin last hangover.

can't get teeth done fast here, either, without private cover. the federal government cut out the scheme for por people, effectively, a couple of budgets ago.

Why are teeth always treated differently ? Ain't they part of the body ?

Just thinking.....

Dentists are very expensive?

I guess if they wait long enough to treat teeth they stop being part of the body - and hence there is no obligation.

Cause there are 32 of them ???

Hmmmm - thirty-two white horses, standing on a hill - here they go, there they go, and yet they stand still....

gautam, you should have done what i did - i never grew wisdom teeth! i don't want any, thankyouverymuch, i am fine with my 26 teeth (two of my bottom teeth never grew either). that makes it 6 teeth less to pull out when i become of that age, yippee! i better befriend a skilled blacksmith, i hear they can pull teeth out quickly. you don't know any?

Only blacksmithn, wherever he may be.


But you really should be looking for a barber. They can administer leeches and bleedings, set bones, and -- in a pinch, though I wouldn't recommend it -- cut hair.

dag dahling - I wish I had a choice !! How did u manage to command them smegging teeth not to grow.

Hmm...blacksmith....hmmm....<thinking> nopes I don't think I know any ! <surprising, as they can be such hunks>

I had blacksmiths, once.

well, only one at a time....
