Time goes by so slowly for those who wait

For the best part of a fortnight I've been intermittently coughing and hacking and spluttering and generally sounding like dying sealion. But without the ability to balance a ball on my nose (I tried).

In among the many apologies to my colleagues for the godawful noises, I mentioned the likelihood of gold watches.

Everyone looked at me funny. Again.

It never was a gold watch, by the way.

I do wonder how often these early radio comedies are to blame for things which sound like they ought to be regional oddities but appear bizarrely spread out. My parents were avid listeners, and still are in fact (thank you BBC 7).

They're also relatively old to be my parents, meaning that most of my contemporaries have younger parents who didn't grow up with ITMA, so it would be a good explanation of a lot of the odd things I say.
