Sorry to hear that Greedo... it's times like these you can really only console yourself with one thought, as my housemate would say: "he'll probably get AIDS".
I'm feeling pretty rough this morning after a really bad night... I've been wiped out for the last couple of days by some virus-type thing. Fair enough, these things happen, and I began to feel better yesterday afternoon and thought that when the sore throat cleared I'd be back on top.
After spending half the night shivering with a fan heater right by the bed trying to get warm, and then the old "barbed wire throat", it appears I'm not as over it as I thought

I don't know whether it was just because I'd let the paracetamol lapse or what, but I was starting to worry I had mumps or something - really painful ears, big swollen neck, and couldn't swallow without wincing with pain. I was considering driving down to A&E to get some of that lidocaine spray stuff but thought they'd not be best pleased at pitching up with a sore throat... still...
It made me curse the fact that we don't live in America, I'd have given my left b*ll*ck for a 24hr pharmacy!
