        2nd week at Philips Semiconductors in Southampton after the travel to work from hell which included taking 2.5 hours to get from the middle of the 2nd Severne Bridge to the M32 turnoff due to idiotic coning: "Can you go to Holland tomorrow?".

        Er, no.

        a) You gave me no warning so I didn't bring a passport
        b) I don't have a passport so I can't go anyway.

        It wasn't my finest 3 months and I produced very little & buggered off without renewing.

        As is only right & proper, the site closed within a couple of years.

        The Jonah Effect again.

        That, I must admit, was pretty impressive.

        The inability to breathe, the uncontrollable coughing, with the added sneeze thrown in for good measure.

        Oh this lurgie is really good fun and no mistake.

          Here I am in the local library, for a bit of warm and peace and quiet, and some is coughing and spluttering up the place.

          Didn't manage to let off my customary trumps because of that upstart!

                  If you're going to be inside, make sure the major bits of it are on your terms.

                      GoogleDiagnosis(tm) suggests that it might be whooping cough.

                      My mate had that 5 years ago & it's no fun.
