Not a hangover
Grandad July 26th, 2010
You can say what you like, but this ain’t no fucking hangover.
If I do feel a little out of sorts after a feed of pints, a good night’s sleep or a massive fry-up or a bottle of whiskey usually sorts everything out.
I had a fairly good night’s sleep, apart from some very strange nightmares. The bottle of whiskey was enjoyable but ineffectual. The stomach couldn’t take a fry-up. And I am still feeling like I have been snogged by Mary Harney – aching all over; breaking out into sweats for no reason and generally feeling rotten.
I fucking hate being like this. I can’t tell Herself because she goes all motherly and fusses over me, insisting I take things easy and giving me loads of strange potions to drink. If there is one thing I despise in life it is being fussed over. I hate sympathy. I hate being mothered.
The brain is kind of fuggy too. As a result, I won’t be writing anything today, so you’ll just have to manage without me.
I’m off now to try another bottle of whiskey.
I know it won’t cure whatever the fuck I have, but who gives a shit?
It’s a damned good excuse.

“If there is one thing I despise in life it is being fussed over. I hate sympathy.”
So you get on the world wide web and tell 20,000+ readers that you are sick !
Get well soon old chap.
TT – Usually when I post here I get nothing but abuse, so this is what I was expecting. You have let me down, but thanks to the pair of you anyway!
I really hate to someone let down so may I just say no sympathy, its a self inflicted wound take two asprin your’e fit for duty!
Take care Grandad.
Soapy – That’s better. Thanks for your lack of sympathy. One thing though – whatever the fuck it is that I have, it is NOT self inflicted.
Fair enough with the self inflicted regarding the original ailment but you do feel a little better now don’t you?
Sure, I’m grand. Apart from the shivers, the sweats, the aches and the sore throat, that is.
It’s this POXY fucking humidity.
And a virus, methinks. One going around, a few pals of mine have caught some suspicious lurgy.
Try eggnog Brandy recipe, which is claimed to have medicinal qualities:
1 good measure of brandy
some milk
a dollop of whipped cream
1 teaspoonful of honey
1 egg yolk
nutmeg
Shake well over ice cubes in a shaker. Strain into a large highball glass over ice cubes, sprinkle with nutmeg, and serve. The tawny port is an optional ingredient that can be omitted. Tawny wine is a gut rotter anyway.

Get well soon.
Doesn’t sound like a hangover alright, sounds more like whatever bullshit ailment is following SARS, Birdy n Swinehunt flu. Beddie bye byes, lots of water and a couple of panadol cure most things, except broken limbs and cancer of course.
Radge – ‘Tis humid all right. It’s after three in the morning and I’m sitting here with the doors to the garden wide open trying to cool off a bit. Too fucking hot to go to bed yet.
Gerry – Thank you so much for that. There is a slight problem though – when I was 18 I drank a full bottle of brandy. As a result, it is the only drink I cannot tolerate. Herself once made me an eggnog [in one of her sympathy moods]. Result? Spectacular projectile vomiting!
DD – Do you think it could be Ebola? Drinking plenty water and chewing panadol. It’s still too fucking hot to go to bed though.
Touch of the plague, Grandad?
Classic withdrawal symptoms – Have you been on the smack?
Could be Leprosy Grandad ..
Just don’t go playing cards for a while .. Don’t want you throwing your hand in …
Jennikybooky – You have the knack of cheering someone up!!
Dessiegee – Good idea. Seeing as I have the symptoms already, maybe this would be a good time to quit?
Haddock – It’s not my hand I would be worried about losing.
smoke a little weed GD.works for me.
Popeye – A little weed? What’s wrong with you? A lot of weed!
