My Name's Chris, I Am A Man And I Have A Cold.
As James May said in the paper on Saturday: you are allowed to have a cold if you are a man and it doesn't have to be man flu. Of course just by saying this, a guy runs the risk of falling into the category entitled " he doth protesteth too much, therefore it must be." Well no, not really, in fact no not at all - as the mountain of snot reinforced tissues next to my bed might serve to prove. Those - along with the weirdly satisfying rock hard, dark green balls of phlegm that I kept coughing up every five minutes or so.
Having said that, there is something far more friendly about a cold than flu. Nothing hurts for example. I just feel bunged up and a bit weak, no more. Whereas sometimes flu can make you feel like you actually might prefer to be dead.
As illnesses go, you can do a lot worse than catch a decent cold. More of a way for your body to confine you to forty eight hours of recharging than anything else. I may be a little groggy come Monday morning, but ultimately I think this cold is doing me a secret favour.

I took take 2 days off work, more to prevent spreading my germs to others than anything else. I'd much rather just get on with things than mope about feeling sorry for myself. It's other people who insist on forcing a stereotype on you that really winds me up.
With that said, I hope you are back to full fitness soon!

Hurrah for the Sunday blog but boo to the cold.
As I've said to others I didn't feel nearly as bad when I had my heart attack as I've done when suffeBring from the flu or even a bad cold. But or course, the former is life threatening and requires more attention.
You're right to eat Chris, lots of good food for a cold.
At least you've got it out of the way before Christmas and hope to hear you tomorrow!

But first CLP man, all a can say is yerv got me biggest sympathy going... In fact a feel so bad for yer... that am more than willing ter fill in for yer termozz on The Breakfast Gig if yer too ill ter work yer mixer!!!! (this could be me big moment)...

Get yersen better too soon... BUT not too fast if a did end filling in for yer!!!! (not that that would ever 'appen) (the me filling in bit... not the getting better bit!!!).
A 'ope yer pull through & make a full recovery from the man flu... Two weeks should do it!!!!!
Well all 'ave gotta be cheeky try ter getta R2 gig!!!!!!!!!
A few momentations at The O2 gig is the best ave 'ad so far!!!!!!
Seriously though joking aside, 'ope yer feel batter ASAP CLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok onter me telling all about my weekend going incorrect >>>
(intro in the style of Janet & John!!!):
Bingo Star's 'ope Everyone 'ad A Nice Weekend... A Didn't:
Basically a attended a wedding on Saturdee... A momentous occasion of the joining of two 'earts.. Am not talking 'eart transplants but the marital 'armony of two 'earts becoming one!!!!!!
The only problem the groom was terrified... terrified!!!!!
So much so that 'e asked my advice what with me being an up & coming international comedian!!!!
A told 'im the best way, many say, of calming nerves when speaking in front of an audience is ter imagine everyone is naked!!!!!
The groom agreed & said 鈥淏ingo.. yer right... I'll give that a try!!!!!鈥
A told 'im ter be careful though as a once tried it at a comedy gig... And instead of me being able ter tell jokes on stage... every time a imagined the audience naked... A could do nothing but burst out laughing!!!!
So much so... the gig ended up me the only one in the room laughing, when it should be the other way around... and the audience staring at me with straight faces... like a was a NUTTER!!!!!!!
Yes... A NUTTER!!!!!!
Where was I?
Oh I yeah... So the groom agreed to imagine all naked during the service!!!!!
The only problem.... 'alf way through the service... The groom called off the wedding!!!!!
A later asked why do you do that????
'e told me... it was after 'e imagined the bride naked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So today, Mr MC and i travelled into town together and then went our separate ways to do our crimbo shopping . Every half an hour or so he would ring me to see which shop I was in, to ensure avoidance. I was horrified to see him walk into Boot$ just as i was buying some stuff. So, I hid behind a display and couldnt come out until he had gone. I even transferred my purchases into a decoy carrier bag so as to disguise the shops i had bought stuff in. Then , just as we were about to leave , I nipped to the ladies , and left my shopping with him..........

A word of advice, dinnae cough & snuffle all over your good lady & cute wee lad as Highland Hubby has done to us for the last two weeks .... this Highland lass and the smaller Highland lasses are really so very not appreciative of him sharing his germs with us!
And can I advise, as I often do, a good old hot toddy before bed ~ double shot of good single malt if it's a bad one! Just add honey, fresh lemon juice, fresh pulped ginger, topped up with hot water & stirred with a cinnamon stick. A great cook like yourself is bound to have those ingredients in your cupboards!
Stay warm and cosy, and I know you'll pull off another great show in the morning!

Christophe - hope you feel better very soon. If it's any comfort, "man-flu" isn't just confined to human males. Jasper, despite being a fit and muscular Staffie, is notoriously prone to bouts. Even his vet said that Jazz was a "bit precious". I never believed in 'man-flu' until I got Jasper (my mum won't tolerate it from my dad!!). It only took one mildly gyppy canine tummy to convince me. And this only eighteen months after losing a 7 year-old female dog to cancer after her truly heroic and spirited battle with it (her decision, not mine - as long as she wished to fight, I supported her. Her last trip to the vet came only ten minutes after I saw in her eyes that she'd had enough). I was ashamed of Jasper.
But - hey - he's my boy and I love him; whining little g*t though he can be. I wouldn't change a single thing!
Just imagine poor Tash if Noah gets sick too - a man-flu-double-whammy!!!
Eek!
Top advice from Highland Lass (hello!) - There aren't many problems in life that can't be solved with a hot whisky toddy. I'd offer Jasper one... but I'm not sure I could cope with the man-gover in the morning...!

Bad luck Sezza - licorice toffee; no-one needs that kind of shock. I have a nut allergy. A bag of Revels was like a game of Russian Roulette for me (I think they don't have any nut ones these days but, much as I like the coffee ones, I'm not brave enough to have a go. Anaphylactic Shock just isn't as much fun these days as it was when I was 11...). Will fight you for the mint toffees though, hehehe.!
ROOO - HAIR! NOW!!!
I'm still procrastinating. Honestly, I'm my own worst enemy.

Meanwhile, the medicinal chards that byoy2 dispensed to help me get over the shock of Scott being in the bottom two is having effect
So I'll bid you all goodnight, sleep well and sweet dream
Hope Chris is well enough for the morning, we'll have to send lots of healing vibes

I think she only 'liked' it but have raised the alarm.
I am cutting my fb right back. Too many people that I have never have contact with, so it must be annoying for them when I keep popping up with my equally annoying posts.

See you in sweetie court over them minty-toffees! A few years in Holloway is a small price to pay for creamy minty toffiness...

Jasper stole a toffee once. He was very smug with his prize - until it glued his fangs together and muggins here had to ungum him.
Sleep sound Sezza; sweet dreams. xx

But then, I support Southampton (well, these days, you sort-of 'tolerate' rather than support them....)
Vitapoint wouldn't be that dry-powder shampoo, would it?! I... um... read about it somewhere... ahem...
Anyway - hair washed the traditional way now, yayyy (WAS cold though).

Spangles were a bit before my time - but I think they had a relaunch not long ago. Refreshers - now THEY were the sweets of the gods. xxx
Dearie dearie. Gonna have to tear myself away now and do something else for a bit. Laters Potaters!
Keep smiling!
