I feel ill,
dreadfully ill.
I feel cold
and shivery, all my bones ache and I feel tired, absolutely dog-tired.
I could go to bed and have a lie down but I've tried that and I
just keep coughing. Its just so boring and I don't have a book to
read, Saturday's paper has long since been read and I'm bored (oh
dear I'm now repeating myself!) Its 3.00 in the afternoon and I
have felt like this all day and normally I am not one to complain,
really I'm not so its really hard to say all this.
I suppose the
only bright spot on the horizon is that I can justifiably do all
the testing and researching that I normally do on these occasions.
Is hot
whisky best taken with honey? |
Definitely
not |
Does hot
whisky make any difference? |
Not sure
yet - I must keep trying |
Which whisky
works the best, Scotch, Irish or Welsh? |
Well...
I seem to be fixated on the Welsh but I am suspicious that I
may be a bit biased. So must keep trying. |
How does
the Japanese whisky perform? |
Well in
spite of the fact that it tastes distinctly medicinal its not
doing any good at all |
Am I still
capable of making subtle distinctions? |
Perhaps
not, I had better continue all this tomorrow. |
Well my illness
is no better and I seem to have mislaid my inhibitions, hang on
a second I may have left them in the bedroom .......... no, not
there. However while I was there I uttered the words 'Damn and blast'
and it didn't sound like me at all, my smooth, mellow voice has
disappeared and what I have instead is a rather deep Lee Marvin
type voice.
Just
listen to this!
I
was born under a wandrin' star
I was born under a wandrin' star
Wheels are made for rolling, mules are made to pack
I've never seen a sight that didn't look better looking back
I was born under a wandrin' star
Life can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry
Home is made for coming from, for dreams of going to
Which with any luck will never come true
I was born under a wandrin' star
I was born under a wandrin' star
Do I know where hell is, hell is in hello
Heaven is goodbye forever, its time for me to go
I was born under a wandrin' star
A wandrin' wandrin' star
(Life can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry)
(Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry)
(Home is made for coming from, for dreams of going to)
(Which with any luck will never come true)
(I was born under a wandrin' star)
(I was born under a wandrin' star)
When I get to heaven, tie me to a tree
For I'll begin to roam and soon you'll know where I will be
I was born under a wandrin' star
A wandrin' wandrin' star
Did
you like that? I'd sing it again for you but I had a brief fit of
coughing towards the end and my glass is empty.
"Say
bartender, slide me a shot of rye whisky 'cross the bar pal!"
"Did
you like my song, Jake? My I miss that old spittoon!"
"Yup,
ya always did, Lee!"
Wasn't
he the funny one. Now let's have a go at Barry White!!
