I was a bit stiff when I woke up.

It'll wear off.

My neck and my shoulders. Getting better, thanks.

How come you're still awake? How come Hillary won in Texas? Why doesn't Hillary know the correct spelling of her name is Hilary?

Good morning.

Good morning to you, McT. There is no good reason for me to still be awake.

Hillary won Texas just to irritate the regulars over on the Obama '08 thread.

Hillary is of French descent, so she does all sorts of weird things, including spell her name that way.

well thanks to our american friend perhaps we can gradually wean ourselves off lavatory paper onto ballotary paper.

I was confused that Obamas lot still claimed the same delegate margin lead. But apparently you can vote twice in Texas. (Is that why Bush won?)

Also no president is ever president without winning Ohio. So why not just let Ohio decide and give us all a rest?

Good win by Arsenal last night. I was of course supporting Milan. Even better win by Man Utd, I was of course supporting them. They played a French team.

Ok now I have things to do before biking it to Ferneux Pelham for lunch. http://www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk/data/places/furneux-pelham.htm

(I used to pronounce it a la Francais i.e. Fernoh. But in correct anglo saxon its ***nux..to rhyme with f****, or so I found out recently)

Hope you're feeling better smorgs.

You could befriend a Kerrygold driver.

But friendship's a funny thing, sometimes there are surprises.

I polished my saxophone today. Now it's all twinkly.

Hey I've got pains in my chest. Is that angina? Could do without that.

It could be angina. Phone NHS Direct. Or see your GP. Actually forget about NHS Direct, they will just tell you to see your GP.

Get straight on a full blown vegan diet Mac. Right away. Two short periods per day of exercise enough to cause mild panting. DP will explain the specifications of mild panting. Nothing strenuous.

Porrige every morning. 3 pints a night and ten roll ups a day.

Avoid excitement especially the indignant form.

The Doc will just stick you on Stattins. He gets a kickback.

Think of it like sluggish drains.

Dick Cheyney told his hunting mate to "walk it off". But he's an insenstive sort of chap.

You could do without it!!

And I couldn't take the blitz of sentimentality on here if anything happened to you as the insurance men put it.

That's somatic side Mac.

From the Psycho point of view, and they are very intimately linked, try to see eating as a tiresome chore. Like packing a suitcase.

Even in my own experience I have noticed that there is a strong statistical correlation between liking eating and packing suitcases and chest pains. It is quite pronounced in men who have two daughters.

If you have two daughters the only thing you can do about it is stop taking any notice of them.

A man presenting your symptoms, your eating history say, is seen by the medical profession like someone emerging from a rock concert is seen by the last ditch merchandisers.

They speak more slowly and use longer words though.

I've buried three doctors all younger than me.

Either I'm a very unstatistical case or your personal statistics are far from having some foundation...

You are but young yet dear boy. Or so you have led me to think.

And you are French. Perhaps the French don't have the English attitude to daughters. They certainly cause a lot of stress here to doting fathers.

You are probably fairly immune by not seeing a great deal of US media output.

I'll give you sometimes spot on. No matter how much I try I cant help having a certain liking for this Spendius character. Perhaps its the Duvel talking.
