For the love of God please blow your nose!
Its winter. I know its winter because everyone has colds and they are coughing and spluttering next to me. The coughing I can put up with. Limited amounts of sniffing I can just about handle, but big long wet snorts that just seen to go on for ever are more than anyone should have to cope with.
Unfortunately for me and the rest of the commuterate sharing my carriage that is precisely what we had to put up with. Twenty seven (I counted) long, drawn out wet snorts. If I had any tissues on my person I would had offered him one. Hell, if my handkerchief had been clean I would have donated it to him just so he could blow his nose. My heart goes out the others who had been on the train for much longer than I had.
Just to prove how bored I was on the train this morning I interspersed my counting of gut churning snorts with keeping a running tally of how many times the phrase “Oh my god!” was used by the two school girls during their conversation about everything and anything: Thirty eight times.
To put this into context the count for both was made on a train journey of 8 minutes.
I dream of train journeys of 8 minutes. And Sneezing.
All I had to put up with today was a fireman wanting to test the dry riser thingamajig (blimey the spell checker liked thingamajig! (but didn’t like blimey)).
On a positive note, I had a great chilli for breakfast.. kills most known germs. Also had a pre-, pro- biotic and omega 3 yoghurt - this makes me super human. I believe the ads on tv (why in the name of all that is holy does this* spellchecker complain about “tv?” and “spellchecker” for that matter?)
It’s a bloddy(sic) Mac for Christ’s sake. It should know everything!
Squirrels.
They’re cool. Never have to commute. Never complain. Lovely.
Next time I reincarnate, I want to be a squirrel.

…and why is the text so small on replies? why so dark and depressing? looks stylish, I suppose, but kind of evil…
