Hello TM - I am so sorry you have been in so much pain over the last several days. It is just awful and I hope things improve soon.
Here is something that might make you smile - I just saw it referred to on one of the local sites. It's a flash mob dance at Bondi today and you can find it if you Google Bondi and Flash mob. I've never seen a flash mob activity in the flesh but they look fun.
Here's hoping that your pain is subsiding and that Mrs TM brings some extra special treats for you when she next visits. You keep me so entertained that I tend to forget about the seriousness of your situation. Sending lots of positive and healing thoughts for you. Cheers Mich
Oh dear! Disturbing that in this case it is a child who seriously needs to 'get a life'! At least the manufacturers are taking it in their stride and enjoying the upsurge in sales and potential sales.
The most striking thing about this story is what an unpleasant little creep the child must be who reported this miniscule amount of naturally occurring alcohol. What DID he hope to achieve?
Ha! I remember some homemade ginger beer from my childhood which a) spurted like a geyser when opened and b) was almost certainly more alcoholic than it should have been. It was quite an afternoon, though I don't think we were allowed to drink very much.
It's not Tennyson but it's the thought that counts...right?
Traction Man was in a difficult spot His dodgy leg really hurt a lot Although he's fed slop and gloop And dishwater purporting to be soup He still manages to entertain us a lot
Funny article but kind of sad too that a kid would do that. Have a great birthday on Sunday. I hope you can celebrate properly in the outside world soon.

I hope today is better for you.

That was funny! Bless good old Fentimans (just a few miles from me too), looks like they will have to expand now to keep up with demand :o)

I hope you are feeling better. I love reading your blogs every day - keep up the good work!

Hope today is better for you TM than yesterday.
So funny.......I liked the awash or in hospital comment! very topical don't you think TM
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a bit of an over reaction but great publicity for the company involved hee hee
Hope your feeling better TM
Ahh, that's great. Good to hear Fentimans aren't taking it too seriously. That kid needs some happy pills.
ReplyDeleteTM, are you all geared up for a wild party for your birthday tomorrow?
Hi Nathalie
ReplyDeleteBirthday is Sunday. My family will be coming for the day. I don't know what they've got planned butbm I'm sure it will be great.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteexcuse my bad english... But do you know that a journalist in radio France Inter spoke about your blog this morning at 10h45 ?

ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better today, TM.
Happy birthday for sunday TM
ReplyDeleteHope the family bring a little shiraz, nurse won't mind :-)
What you have to remember, of course, is that this is stronger than most American beer (which is traditionally produced by gnats...)
ReplyDeletePerhaps Mrs TM could smuggle some in for you ?
red wine and your blog don't mix

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful country the USA is. You can give a minor a gun but not a 0.5% alcohol lemondade drink.
ReplyDeleteFacinating, I bet the boy will now get a lot of hassle in school.
ReplyDeleteA very happy and pain free birthday TM.

That was so funny, only in America, it is okay to carry a gun, but not okay to have a drink that has a small amount of alcohol in it.
