Manly pursuits, that’s what I am all about, I base jump, tightrope walk, breathe fire and eat my enemies hearts all before I bellow my greetings to the cubicle buddies every morning. This is me, and there is no point in trying to change. Ok, I’ve changed. I am in fact a mediocre five a side football participant, player of squash, and occasional gym goer. This is fine but now the exercises are starting to take a back seat to a set of more and more obscure injuries.
Broken pride, a torn getupandgo, a slightly strained motivational abductor aside, now I feel like I have broken my metat………my metati………my David Beckham. I know it’s psychosomatic at best, but for two weeks I have been hobbling around like an old lady who just got off the bus to Lourdes, and is now desperately seeking a quick fire ecclesiastical cure for her gammy hip.
Have I gone to the doctor? no, of course not. Instead I have complained to Mrs Leeroy at every turn, I have tried alternative medical treatments, I have also tested the sitting on the couch eating canned food and not exercising method of rehabilitation, and I have even resorted to praying to my god. Let me tell you, Barry Manilow is a busy busy man.

David Beckam?!?… you have broken your golden balls???
Exactly what “alternative medical treatment” does one take for that?

Have you tried a MegaMassage™?

So, how many time have you began a sentence with, “I hate to be a moan but… “

No sympathy from Mrs Leeroy eh? Not surprising really as married women’s talons do seem to be prone to such injury.
Go to the doctor and wangle yourself some superparamagnetic iron oxide & dextran washed down with gin. Then clear your calendar for a while. I’m sure you’ll feel better if you wake up.

Did Barry Manilow engineer that victory at Anfield at the weekend? If so, hats off to BazMan!

@ NSO - Brass. And soaking.
@ Coco - go on ?
@ Conan - I just start with “this is a total outrage”
@ Househusband - They Live, we sleep.
@ Narocroc - Yes, Baz talks to me - when i’m awake.

I apologise if this is unrelated to your blog, although sympathy, sympathy pouring on in huge doses (you are a man afterall), but I see a comment from Coco….. i believe we put Coco to bed for the final time back in June… and that since then a new improved model has been grown…. i’d like to see that reflected in a name change on here…. and I know Red will like the new name!!!
