Are you not fully led-d up? Why do you hate koalas?
I am and they strobe like a bastard. Tripping balls every time I try to make a cup of tea. I blame Jeff and his hooky Chinese imports.

Hullo.
I avoided the superbowl last night and just finished watching on catchup while worving from home. Pretty good game.
Last night I watched the film 'Booksmart'. It was crap, and I am furious about all the good reviews and awards it won. 4 stars.

Hello, hope you’re all well. Not you.

Well obviously I'm not well.
I've still got this damned cough. I don't feel ill and it is not very serious, but I have had it all year.
I am quite keen to try a day of not coughing sometime soon.
I think the big problem is every time I go to the football it sets my recovery back at least a week* and I am going to football matches 2-3 times a week (sat-tue-fri this week)
* that's not due to the effects of being outside and mingling with people. It's just watching Blues that does that

Games!
Pillars Of Eternity
As I bought POfE2 recently I thought I ought to crack on with POfE.
It's pretty good. The combat could be better. It's a bit obscure as to what you need to do occasionally.
The best party combat system on a PS was Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2. It actually worked and was fairly intuitive. Obviously they changed it for Dragon Age 3 so it was slightly, yet significantly worse.

Games!
I tried some Goat Simulator. I got some points for doing some stuff, but it felt like I didn't really know what I was meant to be doing. Perhaps just having fun, but what's the point of that? It didn't really seem very good.
TV & OTTM: I watched the latest episode of Doctor Who and had a breakdown in public on an internet games forum.

Afternoon 'box. Had planned to stay up and watch some of the Superbowl, but found myself dozing on the sofa at 8.30pm so took myself off to bed and slept for 11 hours straight. Might need my thyroid medication adjusting a tad as the tiredness is creeping back in.
Ganes: More HZD and more me destroying everything. Take that Rockbreaker. Doing a Cauldron which has Stalkers on the final part. They are NOT fun to deal with no matter how OP you are. Stealthy bastards. Plus I've preordered FFVII remake from ShopTo for sweet preorder bonuses I can hopefully flog on eBay for a few quid heh.
OTTM: Not much, I am tired. Send chocolate.

Well obviously I'm not well. I've still got this damned cough. I don't feel ill and it is not very serious, but I have had it all year. I am quite keen to try a day of not coughing sometime soon. I don't want to go all Dr Shenguin on you, but do you by any chance take medication for high blood pressure? I'm asking because one of the side effects of a common type containing ACE inhibitors is a persistent dry cough. Many years ago I was coughing for months and mentioned it to my GP on one occasion, who immediately said: "Oh yeah, that's the blood pressure tablets" and changed them to something else. It was such a relief as the cough gradually went away until I was completely shot of it. Yes, I had read the list of side effects on the blurb but I would never have made the connection. Then my mother had the same thing for even longer because she didn't believe me and wanted to use up her supply first because she doesn't like waste. Arrgggh. Edit: there are obviously other types of medication that can have coughing as a side effect, but that one is incredibly common. |

No. I merely have a persistent cough. My mum has it as well.
It's pretty common this year. I have heard of several people who had it for 5-6 weeks+
It's pretty minor. I don't feel ill. It's just annoying.

Beef mayo sandwich and a bit of pork pie. The pork pies from my local butcher are delicious.

I think the correct phrasing is "I don't want to come over all Dr Shenguin on you"*. Boiled egg white accidentally inhaled and stuck in the lungs is another surprisingly common cause of a persistent cough. It would fit with Sheep not actually feeling ill. *Mind bleach, stat. |

I have not been inhaling eggs, accidentally or otherwise.
Also the cough is throat, not lung based.

Hmm. I didn't know that Dr Shenguin was like that. A cross between Dr Nick from the Simpsons and Harvey Weinstein? You have to be a little naive not to have noticed. Plus that is not the right place to put a stethoscope. |

Good morning,
Not reading all that, or any of last night's nonsense.
Just watched the superbowl. Was very good, but I wanted the other team to win.
I might watch the latest Dr Who next. Anyone seen it?

cobblers made it back in time before the Pound went down again thanks to loose talk from our Fuck Business Prime Minister. The prospect of chlorinated chicken makes me consider becoming vegetarian, only to be put off by the thought of genetically modified crops. Guess with BoJo in charge one just can't win.

I will not have an LED bulb in this house. Pros - very efficient, and long lasting Cons - strobing, constantly strobing I'm not having it, no sirree. |
