Time goes by so slowly for those who wait

[venta]

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.

Cough it up, if it's only a bucketful it'll do you good (your Grandad). Black over Bill's Mother's caused long debate in Gadfly's column (Northern Echo)a year or so ago and was thought to relate to Shildon cricket ground or somewhere equally improbable.
Fill you full of toffees - not next door, they got it from your Dad.
