Great News From Benfleet Fred (Berlin)

I wish some one would remend me of how I should feel! I have the worst bloody cold for years. I feel like warm steaming S....! Perhaps it is not a cold, but flu. I sweated like a pig last might and again this afternoon.

Sorry about that dear Fritz! I just did not want you thinking I had died or something! I can just about muster up the energy to listen to the radio, do a few emails, and read your thead. I need to smile a bit you know. Thanks.

Kindest regards from Fredrik

Perhaps Our Adam should once again alter this thread to Woucester Fred Our Fredder's, for the duration of your thingy?

Cheers,


Fritz Von Lot's of Liquids are required, and I don't just mean Bigos.

Vodka is actually not good for colds Our Fredders as with hangovers there's also no known cure as I'm sure you're well aware! (Who needs Doctors eh?).

Cheers,

Fritz Von The psychological advantage of Hot Toddies (Russian tea as it's known here) ie, tea & rum (or other dark thingy you happen to have) 26 Year Old McCallen is fine too, so long as it belongs to you know who! Lemon & Brown Demmarara sugar are nice as well, though unfortunately no snouts allowed (unless pure Grass of course).

Then train yer Grey Matter Son:

Tea, water, and milk - that's all. In fact I am just off to fetch some more milk before the corner shop closes. No alchohol at all till I am better...

There is no cure for a cold, and in truth I have given up being a hero about going to work when poorly already! Of course it goes down as absenteeism, but they can bloody sack me if they like for it.

I quite like your idea about this Thread's name...

The trouble with being full of cold in the head is that you cannot hear what people say on the phone, and it also hurst to speak at more than a whisper! Somehow it does not affect listening to music, which is strange.

Catch ya soon, Fredrik

P.S. Don't they have Doctors and Sick-Notes in the UK anymore then Our Fredders? Check out current issue of 'Thingy Eye' there's a terrific little piece "I had this bloke in the back of my Cab" in there, which will be right up your street, honnist*


Must remove this Marmite from my Hamsteads then finally crash, Phew*


Vitamin C is killed by smoking! (24 hours in Body only don't forget)


Woucester Fred's thread:

'The Gordian Knot 'Three sayings used by pompous orators for hundreds of years as classical figures of speech are "as rich as Croesus", "I came, I saw, I conquered", and "to cut the Gordian Knot". All three had their original home in Türkiye. The first applied to a Lydian king; the second was said by Julius Caesar after a battle in Asia Minor, 47 B.C., in which he defeated Pharnaces II, King of Pontus; the last refers to a legend of ancient Phrygia. The city of Gordium, now called Gordion, is about a hundred miles west of Ankara. It was the capital of ancient Phrygia. One of its rules was a peasant named Gordius, who gave his name to the city after fulfilling an oracle of Zeus.


Nuffin to do wiv Our Gordon then Chaps?



I ain't sayin Nowt:

So Adam & Eve had Caine & Abel, where were the girls then?

Fritz Von I wonder if any current British Politicians are on the Home Office Bad Boy List for Committing Crimes Overseas then?

If Israel ever got US permission to fire Nuclear tipped, etc warheads over Iraq into Iran, I wonder if the US etc troops would be warned to duck first, just in case they shot themselves in the foot like, innit?

When I mentioned on here recently the New Iraqi PM's desire to Quit as well as his predecessor cos the Yanks wouldn't let him get on with things his own way, I thought "Ello Fritz, I bet Georgie Boy will soon send loads more troops in, even though the New Democratic led Congress would be essentially against it but would have their hands tied so to speak"*



Fritz Von As his reasoning for the new cannon fodder is to protect the Democratically elected Iraqi government, he's gonna be somewhat stuffed if this guy does actually resign for above-given reasons, innee Chaps? (as if you give a toss in the real world).



Does he drink milk in his tea though?



Is Britain worth fighting for asked a squaddie on the corner (silently you understand)?

Apparently Saddam Hussein has been spotted alive and well ordering an extra pint of sterilized milk for his tea by a milkman, whils't delivering to 10 Railway Cottages, East Cheam!


Fritz Von "He was wearing a false nose and a Hilda Ogden type headscarf," reported the plucky milky, "But I knew it was he straight away, cos he had 'SH' initialled on his pyjama pocket in red satin, and was holding a packet of Cheerios under his left arm".



N.B. Could well be an MBE for him then Chaps in Tony Blair's resignation Honours List, innit*


Is this Silly & Tenuous?

I wonder if it's possible for future Mayors & Prime Ministers to say, to say Scotland or er, Romania, you can have the 2012 Olympics we neither really want them, nor can Londoners afford them, especially just for a fortnight of egoistical fart-mongering disguised as sport from so-called amateurs (who really are not at all at all)?*


Cheers,



Fritz Von Our Fisbey's flop's good though, innit*

Good job too I say. Far too low for too long, fuelling silly house price inflation among other things. I do wish the CBI would stop whining every time they do it.

Quite Right! Quite Right! Reminds me of Birmingham Fran and her Chocolate Fireguard wheeze, innit!

Cheers,



Fritz Von Our Gordon soon plans to abolish the CBI anyway (on record Chaps), so that'll be one thing less to mither over I suppose:


I wonder why the top Jewish Powers that be in Israel, don't play the same old psychological blackmailing games favoured by the Catholic Church then for their overseas Sheep? it'd save a lorra hassle, wunnit*


You're either with us or against us! (ni in-betweenies).


Any Scots care to comment?

You blooming well tell em Our Acad my Son*

This from www.radiotimes.com

'Documentary Highlight
Tourettes de France
10:00pm - 11:05pm
Channel 4


Keith Allen travels to Paris on a double-decker bus with a bunch of teenagers who have Tourette syndrome: it's the kind of idea that could turn out cringe-makingly wacky or heart-warmingly strange. Happily, it's the latter. Since part of the teenagers' exhausting condition is a compulsion to blurt out obscenities at full volume, the language could hardly be worse. These guys make Gordon Ramsay look like a mother superior. ("Suck my t**s!" one of them shouts, apparently addressing Canterbury Cathedral.) And lest we miss anything, the outbursts are captioned on screen in big wobbly letters, one of several knowing, postmodern touches. The film isn't quite as interesting and riotously funny as it thinks it is, but it has terrific moments, my favourite being when one of the group shouts "comb-over" at the nice French doctor they visit. And the obscenely redubbed version of Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday (to which the whole programme is a kind of warped homage) will be hard to forget.'

Something for you Fritz von I'm sure you would enjoy it.

I'd enjoy it about as much as seeing a bunch of drunk mentally impared teenagers being taken the piss out of by so-called normal folk John°!


Fritz Von Goodnight, another hard day at the office in the moaning*

Who knows who's kitchen this is then Chops?
