So I've been ill and suitably ranty for a few days now, today I can bear no more of this snot fountain and went to superdrug.

Why is it that when I'm sneezing at the slightest provocation I've got to walk past perfume fucking counters to get to the bastard anti-sneeze shit? What dumb cunt thought that one up, eh?

So I get to the back and I'm after some nicotine in non-cigarette form. No dice, as no service there, and it is all behind a counter where I can't reachj it, so I bought gum instead. I should explain here that I'm unable to focus my eyes properly this morning. So I get my Lemsip which is my main point of going out, bring it home, stick it in the cup and lok forward to my lemony relief.

But no, it's fucking berry and orange flavour, and I've not the energy to take it back and explain why they can give me a fucking lemon lemsip. Bloody thing was in the 'lemon' row, according to the lable which I could read. Event the word paracetomol is in larger print on the box than orange and berry. Why are they calling this stuff lemsip if there's no lemons in it? Branding can fuck off, it really can.

If you can differentiate between these products, you don't need to use them. And why is the not-lemon-lemsip in a yellowy box as well?

I has angers.

Just squeeze half a lemon into it. Probably do you more good than the actual lemsip anyway.

Or just chew up 2 paracetamol, suck the juice from a lemon and then pour boiling water down your throat. Same difference.

Everyone is angry lately but me, it's totally mystifying.

While corpse-ridden last week, the gf bought actual lemons and mixed them with boiling water, a bit of sugar, and generous amounts of honey. It was fucking awesome and far, far better than any powdered shite that can be bought. Highly recommended.

Generous amount of golden syrup and a healthy measure of Scotch is also good.

This concoction is the friend of the black metal vocalist. Unfortunately, you don't look terribly krieg supping a lovely hot mug of honey and lemon.

Plus, it's a bastard to clean from the inside of a Thermos, making it difficult to take with you on sojourns to the Twilight Winterforest ov Nekro Despair.

I once had a cold and made myself even iller by drinking two bottles of buttercup syrup in a day, just because it's so bloody lovely.

Gollum Juice! For those who haven't sat through the 15 hours of Lord of the Rings extras, Andy Serkis shredded his throat doing the Gollum voice, much the same way that your friendly neighbourhood Black Metal vocalist does. He also sipped honey, lemon and sugar and dubbed it gollum juice

Yeah why is this, I've been ratty recently, as I'm realising reading back through a few things. Yet there's no reason, I'm on a week off and life's actually looking reasonable.

I'm blisteringly livid at the moment, me. It's awesome, I might have to do it more often.

Who knows. A taxi driver pissed me off minimally earlier in the week, but I've been remarkably chilled otherwise.

I used to make/test Lemsip, they also have a product called Ginsip, with ginger. This is really good, but they haven't relesaed it in the UK. Possibly because everyone would thin it contains gin.Berry and orange flavour sounds grim though. I also recommend shying away from the beechams hot berry one as that is truly vile.

No, just tried to pull right out in front of me, despite there being no fucking room for him to do so. As a result he nearly hit me, but I refused to let him out, and gave him shit as I passed.

The stupid fucking thing is, the road was clear behind me, so he could have pulled out easily had he not been such an impatient prick.

Yeah it's amazing how impatiently and quickly they drive when they're on their way to pick up a fare, but when they're taking you home they crawl at 10mph below the speed limit.

I'm getting increasingly annoyed with taxi drivers in Shrewsbury that just slam on the brakes and pull into a parking layby with no indication at all.

You've obviously been missing me, don't worry though, I'm back now. :)

I hate being ill, I just don't have time for it. I woke up the early hours of this morning with earache and was dreading it turning into an infection, I seem to have been able to clear it up mostly though. Phew!

Strangely, so did I. I even had to scroll back up after reading to make sure I wasn't just going a bit mental.

Also, I've noticed a lot more angry people recently too. Maybe some SAD kinda thing?
