"I feel like I've been beaten up underwater. I can feel bits of my brain falling away like a wet cake."

Ugh. Over the past 24 hours I have learned more illness-related french vocabulary than I care to list. As someone who gets colds a lot, I can officially say that they bite monkeys. big baboon-like monkeys. My head feels so congested and heavy, ewwww.

Anyhoodles, obviously today I've been having illness quotes running through my brain all day, and seeing as I'm bored and in bed, I thought I'd share some with you.
The title of this post comes from Black Books, an ever-present influence on this site. It's from Series 3 Episode 1, which features Simon Pegg. For those of you not familiar with the episode, Fran returns from holiday in Cornwall to find that Manny has left Bernard to go work at the bookshop next door, and Bernard is falling apart without him. I've managed to find the episode for you (on Youtube, in 3 parts of course). Watch it if you can, it's got some of the best bits in series. Below is one of the more bizarre deleted scenes from that episode:


One of the other things that I've been thinking of is Adam Buxton's Flu song. I think this man just gets me. This song and Holiday Blues are soooooo spot on it's insane. Anyway, the Flu Song is available to be listened to HERE!


I don't actually have anything else to offer you at the moment. I'm too tired and I need to drink a 2 litre bottle of OJ.

Much love. x
