Sh!te craic. I had my second bout of it about four or five weeks back, thankfully not as bad as the first time I had it though. Had a rough couple of days and the worst was over, cough lasted for another two or three weeks and only really this last week or two could I say I was feeling really over it.
Fingers crossed smooth sailing for yourself.

Cheers Nigel and Adam! It?s a bit of a rollercoaster, symptoms wise. Fever gone today but replaced with a delightful sore throat on top of the cough, chills and aches.
Supposed to be heading to Vancouver on Friday to go to New Order (and Pet Shop Boys). Have VIP tickets too so really hoping we?ll be/feel good enough to travel. Want to do the right thing, not spread this sh!t.
Feel better Stu. Had a mild enough dose over Christmas last year that passed in about 4 days. Just the fever.
Currently hacking up a lung so I'm guessing it's the same ****e. Or my daughter brought back one of her many new plagues from the creche.
Hope you get to the show. Sounds like a cracker.

Get well soon, Stu. I managed to avoid it till July and didn't get a bad dose of it. Probably had worse colds, but there was unnatural tiredness. Three months on there's still a bit of brain fog, trying to get a common word or remembering a name, but the tiredness seems to have passed. Hard to tell with work at the moment!!
Hope you get to the concert - you're probably thinking what have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this...
OTOH ... get well soon, too.

Quick question…on my mind… is there any logic to the photos that clubs use when they issue their match day lineup tweets and the player pic they use? It’s always someone playing. Is it a random thing, is it the previous MOM, is it picked out of a hat, does each club do it the same…? Anyway, just curious
Can't say for other clubs, but it's generally someone random for Finn Harps. The graphic template created at the start of the season, player image filled in a day before the match or a few hours before the match, and the names filled in once the teamsheet comes from the dressing room.

Thanks Nigel. It makes sense for it just be random, easiest etc!
I can’t overstate how disappointed I get when I log onto foot from work in the morning over here (currently 6, sometimes 7 hours behind) and there are no updates on the Ireland forum.
The loss of the Bohs message board has also altered my life significantly!!
I mourn the loss of the totty thread. My wrist does not.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
I care way too much about the fate of Wrexham AFC.
And why is that, boy bach?
Oh, no ... it's contagious.

Luton getting promoted to the Premier League would be proper 80's nostalgia stuff for me. I would love it.
Millwall in the shake up too & Coventry City are decent again. It'll be 88 / 89 all over again. Just need a couple of plastic pitches with surfaces like aircraft carrier decks & we're all set.

It might be somewhat tainted but this is still one of my all time favourite sporting memories. As an Irish kid watching an Irish athlete come back like that, it was pretty inspiring. I can still remember Roche turning that corner at the finish and being shocked that it was him even though there’d been reports (no footage though iirc) from commentators that he was gaining ground on Delgado.
My only real memory of the TdF is Patrick's Hill in Cork, which I didn't actually see myself.
Anyone remember this poem?? A classic from my youth…still know it off by heart
“Ladies and jellyspoons,
I come before you
to stand behind you
and tell you something
I know nothing about.
Next Thursday,
the day after Friday,
there will be a ladies' meeting
for men only.
Wear your best clothes,
if you haven't any,
and if you can come,
please stay home.
Admission is free,
you can pay at the door.
We'll give you a seat,
so you can sit on the floor.
It makes no difference
where you sit,
the kid in the gallery
is sure to spit."
Somehow I have been labouring under the impression that Terry Wogan was still alive. Dead since 2016. Must’ve missed that…
Definitely not “perfect recall”…
