i'm sick of getting emails that say things like that. everyone keeps trying to send me viruses... i'm not sure what i've done to offend them... maybe it was subliminal or in a past life... its not gonna work anyway cos i use netscape not outlook. so there. i've been in south wales for a couple of days. and very nice it was too. i tried to find some people who could speak welsh ("i've been learning your bluddy language so we're bluddy well going to talk welsh alright??!") but failed miserably (dammit)... i bought some welsh books from whsmith ('horrible histories' no less) and a gorkys albums from a lovely little shop in cardiff... the 'introducing' album... its actually a compilation of tracks, all of which i already own, but i felt as though i ought to buy something and the prospect of buying more gorkys music was too exciting; gorky's are utterly brilliant, i occasionally forget and then rediscover them... and then, after the exciting exploits of the last few days, i've just spent the last 15 minutes trying to get cat vomit out of the carpet. sigh... idles was talking about hayfever and just to annoy her i am now going to offer my diagnosis... i was prescribed loratadine but doctors aren't allowed to prescribe that anymore for some reason so i was put on desloratadine which is crap. so then he put me on some different drug (ciritizine??) which made no difference whatsoever. and then my nice doctor prescribed steroids or something. and they don't seem to have made a big difference either so i've resorted to high doses of decongestants and keeping my eyes closed. i'm a wee bit scared of my doctor, he appears to have no sense of humour whatsoever... if you try to crack a joke or say something to raise a smile he just looks at you blankly which makes you feel really stupid. he probably thinks i'm insane. i know i'm supposed to mention b&s somewhere in here... haven't been listening to them recently though... i've gone off storytelling quite a bit... hopefully they'll be on glastonbury coverage though... erm... dum de dum.... who knows why i pressed the 'compose' button. i apologise.
