It's water soluble so the excess will be excreted. I'd spend the money you're wasting on excess satsuma's on some medical textbooks.
Pff. I've only had one extra satsuma and I'm already feeling better.
Chipolata has just proved that there is a cure to the rhinovirus. I shall erect a statue immediately.

Quite a mixed reaction there, David. Welcome back to the fun & games. 
On the phone to Virgin Money and they seem to have perfected the annoying automated option choosing by making you explain why you are calling to a 'realistic' automated recording (recorded to make it sound like he's not reading from a script by saying 'erm' when giving examples) who will then repeatedly guess by matching a word you say to FAQs and when you say 'no' asks you to try again, but more simply. Then it asks you to say your account number and then gets it wrong. When it gives up and asks you to key in the information it then reads out all of the information about your account before putting you on hold for 5 minutes so you can speak to someone.
And after all of that the useless customer service person transferred me to a department that was just another automated message that told me to call back on Monday.

Not if they're crap.
Knackered today!
I've decided. I'm retiring from attending concerts after last night. Can't manage the steps up to and down from the seat without a rail or someone to hang onto!
So, Quo at the Civic next April and that's it.
Good way to end tho' !

I think sleep is the answer. Have just had an hour's nap and feel mildly better but I expect I'll be just as bad in another hour. Will go and have a few turns at Bubblewitch to take my mind off it.
Chip's sore throat is back with a vengeance. He's sad that mean-spirited amatuer medical know-it-all Ben was right.

Yeah, I had a massive three hour nap this afternoon. It wasn't bad.
Feeling sad. Just received photos of the first grandchild of an old pal who died 14 years ago. Still miss her and the baby has her eyes.
Quote: Ben @ 9th December 2013, 2:41 PM GMTBen is rather annoyed that Tesco have hiked up the prices of their Finest nuts ranges for Christmas.
Ben, good news!
New deal! 2 packs of 225g for £6, rather than £8, unless it's one of those scam deals.

She lives on in the babby . .

What does it say on the keg?
Ben has just got up. He meant to get up at 7. This may make today a bit trickier.
One of my calf muscles is a bit sore when I stand up. Can't for the life of me figure out why. Maybe I am just getting old... at 26.
