Here we go again

Here we are again folks; your scribe has been off work with the dreaded lurgy, and dreaded indeed it was. Most unpleasant. You'd think that'd leave me more time to sit here and belt my ramblings down onto the ether wires, but as it happens it left me with time only to sit on a sofa, watch daytime telly and retch. And who wants to read a page a night about that. Or indeed to write it. Not me, and not me in that order!

So... back at the ever popular factory of fun. Medical today, to confirm I'm fit for the sort of duty that nobody wants to undertake. The smokers have quadrupled their intake to make sure they fail the lung capacity test and everybody else has been standing downwind. The bad news? Even with lungs still full of flu, I pass with flying colours. What a guy. Damn.
