got to wait until after my next blood test, next Monday. Hopefully
"normal" service can be resumed after that.

This is your Wales phobia rearing its ugly head.

I can account for almost all of it.

*I used the long stay car-park at Stansted within the last month
*I slagged off the welsh within the last week
*In my teens, a couple of tear-aways did manage to decapitate
themselves by driving under the back of a bin lorry (though this was
in 'Ards and it was IIRC a Capri, rather than a Viva)
*in the dream, the "funeral arrangements" for disposing of a dead
welshman turned out to merely involve hiring a skip

You certainly have a rich internal life.

Last bizarre nightmare I remember ended with me being accused of child
abuse.

Just imagine, waking up in a cold sweat, terrified, yet everso slightly
aroused and unable to log on to Bebo without having flashbacks.

I read that as "bonobo" the first two times (can there be two first
times?). Still, you freak, stay the hell off Bebo, you're about 15
years too old for it.

> without having flashbacks.


those are the least of my worries[1][5]

[1] I've been awake since about 03:30 yesterday; it's 2:10 "today",
and since stopping those stupid drugs last week[2], my mind's still
racing like a 50cc mini-moto[4]
[2] ****- thinking about it, it really has been a week already - I may
have to take up the offer I had the other day of a "help"ing of
special K to help me get off the drugs that were supposed to make it
easier for me to cut down on drinking[3a][3b]
[3a] stopping drinking was easy - just as Champ has "noted", it's made
me surreally lucid. Or silly. One of the two.
[3b] my own alco-fascist doctor made a comment along the lines of "why
the **** she prescribe you these? Of course you drink too much, but
making it easier for you to cut down won't actually make it easier for
you".[3c]
[3c] bit of ****-up (including me and S. (the saffer you met that
time) "not drinking" in The Paternoster this thursday, if you or
anyone else is interested[7]
[4] not particularly fast, and I look like an idiot.
[5] though if I do manage to sleep at some point tonight, and dream
about Batey again I may have to kill someone[6]
[6] anyone will do[8]
[7] a particular "special" week at my former employers with 4 permies
being laid off - from ~75 in 2003, they're now down to around 15.
[8] I'm thinking of putting Platypus out of our misery - how does that
sound?

I don't think that cutting off his home internet connection will work
because he'll still post from work.

Nowadays I could post from my phone. Probably.

I must admit that my stubby fingers occasionally struggle with the
touch-screen qwerty keyboard, but the phone is quite clever and changes it
to what it thinks I should have said.
