What's that all about?

Trying to be funny ...

First of all, I'm going to say hello to some of my foreign friends in their native language (to try and make them feel at home.) Here goes ... [ahem]

"G'day Nick"

Impressive eh? Actually, he's alright for an Ozzie (and amazingly, he had never tried Foster until he came to the UK. )

On to more important things, Dad's just aint that funny. You'll remember my post about the miserable arse gene. Well get this, I get a call from my parents last night. I'm full of a cold so the conversation goes like

Mum: "How are you?"
Me: "Dot too gud adually. I hav a bad code.
Mum: "ooooh dear So, how you feeling?.
Me: "Dot too gud adually. I hav a bad code. (!)
Mum: "not too good then?"
Me: [twitch]

Needless to say, I'm not very talkative nor my usually bright cheery self. So last night, I get this message on my voicemail.

"Hi I'm calling from the NHS. We hear there's been an outbreak opf the misery arse gene and have a package a strepsils to be shipped immediately."

Suspiciously, the "man from NHS" sounds like my dad. Well, I think the following picture adequately describes my feelings to this attempt at wit.

"Oh father"
