Meh!
Kids can survive without schampoo. Surely you can get some sort of illnessy type benefit for missing out on work. I'd get the eye done as soon as possible. But I live in a welfare state paradise™.
Heart thingy? No point worrying about something until you know whether it's worth worrying about. This message was brought to you in assocition with Trite Truisms Inc™, for your everyday stating the bleedin' obvious needs.

I'm back at the hospital for the eye in April, so hopefully there won't be too much grief before then. I want to try and put the surgery off until September if I can, post-Disney. Of course that plan will be severely scuppered if after the ECG and echo thingie they decide that I can't fly anywhere.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the one that does the pretty lines. Echocardiogram is the one that is like an ultrasound.
Wikipedia r001z!!!!1!!11!
Oh and it appears that when speaking to the doctor on Monday and she asked "Any history of heart problems in the family?", my answer of "Not that I know of" was correct at the time, but would be incorrect now. I now know that my dad's dad had a heart attack and suffered from angina and that my dad (whom I haven't spoken to for almost six years now) has angina and is undergoing tests this week with regards to that.
I should really speak to my Auntie Joan more, it seems.
So it appears that I'm about to be taken to the glue factory. When that does happen, there's some CDs up for grabs. I guess that nobody will want the "Best of.... Swing Out Sister", so that can come with me.

When the BBC, (or was it Channel 4?), came out with that list of bands that Brits would want to play at their funerals and Bon Jovi was second, I think, I sent in an email saying that I'd love Jon Bon Jovi to be playing at my funeral, but only if he's nail into the coffin with me. They didn't put that email up on the site though.
Swing Out Sister probably wouldn't get picked to play at my funeral, but the lead singer did have a horking-great mouth.

Their first hit was "Breakout" which would amuse me if played at a funeral.
Or it would if I weren't in the coffin.

I used to like the ker-wazy thing she did with her eyes. Then again at the time I liked anything any female did with any part of her body. Including Thatch in my more shameless moments.

You were attracted to Margaret Thatcher? Weirdo.

Yeah. Weirdo!
Carol Vorderman putting numbers up on the number board... Ooh, yeah.

I got a little bit of sick in my mouth.

Nark will only think of Thatch again!

I'm telling you. I'd have taken a shine to Boony if he was wearing a dress at the time.
Well, scratch that "at the time" bit.

Yeah, I don't buy that story about Boony having a girlfriend with a mac. I rather suspect it was Boony himself in a wig and overalls.

Right then, so I'll be off to hospital again today, but not for an appointment. My right eye (the bad one) started to cloud over last week and it's become worse over the weekend. It looks like I have a cataract - it isn't but that's what it looks like. Seriously though it looks like someone's sellotaped some greaseproof paper onto my eye. It's not good. More news when I get back.

Shit. Hope it's not too serious and all gets sorted quickly and (more importantly) painlessly, man.
On the other hand, it does give you an excuse to either wear an eyepatch or get yourself a red glowing cyber-eye that shoots frickin' lasers.

Fingers crossed it will be nothing serious Moo, well nothing more serious than you already know about.

Hospitals as quite the fad of the day it seems. Didn't you know that "eyepatched" was actually a metaphor?
Best of luck.

Eep. Good luck - get the laser eye, that sounds cool!

I agree with this laser eye thingy. And also especially with the well wishing.

Although laser bees would be fine, I suppose. Good luck anyway.

Painkiller's just been re-released on Steam, with the best quoted reviewer blurb ever:
"All you need to know about the game is that one of the guns shoots shuriken and lightning."
which just edges out the Charlie Brooker quote on the cover of Derren Brown's book:
"Clearly the best dinner party guest in history, he's either a balls-out con artist or the scariest man in Britain."

They chickened out of repeating the full quote with the references to tits and being on fire, did they?
