This Is This

It’s been a hell of a week after being caught in a downpour, burying my grandmother (my grandfather put it well when he said “We have to stop meeting like this”) and getting sick in bed, so to cheer myself up I am spending the rest of the day mumbling like KanYeWest. I’ll try anything.

I am off sick today, with no voice and a body that seems to be importing snot from somewhere, smuggling it into my head and pouring it out of my nose.

There must be some kind of booger racket going on, because my own head would not be able to produce so much of the stuff. There isn’t the storage, for a start, so I suspect some kind of mucus cartel is at work, although their purpose is not yet clear.

Back in the living on Monday. I’m feeling lucky.

Oooh, and if anyone wants to make any jokes about me, then please post your country’s flag to the comments section of this blog. Thanks.

Newsreaders now say “Newcastle” with a Geordie accent. Why? Do they have to pronounce things in their native accent. Do we have to say “Nu Yoik”, “Meheeco Seety”, “Brisbin” or “Noi Zilund”? It doesn’t make it more authentic, it makes it incredulous bollocks.
