Wish I hadn`t, took me ages to get the spray off the wall

Marya: Indeed, Bryson was the one who wrote Notes from a Small Island, which was "required reading" for me (per Vix) before I moved to the UK. The best thing about the American printing of that was the inclusion of a glossary - quite useful for those who don't have the faintest idea what a "counterpane" is! When browsing through Vix copy of the book after I'd moved here, I found the glossary conspicuously missing - which was too bad, coz it was as entertaining as the rest of the text!
Celticq: Vix & I are reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves at the moment - utterly brilliant, that, and should appeal to quite a few of the fellow pedants I've encountered here on SH!

Thank you for the remedy Angel.... Think I might give that a go after I've visited the doc's.
Thank you Venus for the link - I never realised that it could get that bad without treatment! I do have some of the symptoms the list suggests so a visit to the doc's will be booked for tomorrow (hopefully...normally takes 6 weeks to get an appointment!)
Thank you redstilletto for your suggestion too.
Another thing..... when I called work this morning they didn't sound too convinced. I was off work last week on hols and it may look like I'm taking a sickie....I do have a bad history of sick days (all genuine though....and not hypochondria!) so I'm not sure what to say to them..... I'm not going to go in tomorrow as I need to see the doc and like I said earlier...I can't even wear "proper" clothing..... any (more) suggestions?
Thank you for the hugs too!
Troglodyte is an aggressive Philistine who categorically disdains all new-age enthusiasms and politics, and has a particular animus against "homos", "tree huggers", " hairy-leg lesbo feminists" and artsy types. His loud brandishings of "common sense" and "reason" are nothing more than conceits to justify his close mindedness. Troglodyte's fierce, but predictable attacks are easily parried by more nimble Warriors. Sometimes, just for fun, Weenie or Issues will taunt him into a towering rage.
Rebel Without a Clue's deep seated and infantile hostility to authority motivates his random and seemingly gratuitous attacks on list owners, SysOps and anyone else who attempts to maintain a modicum of order and civility in discussion forums. Differing markedly from Rebel Leader, he is unattached to any cause other than petulance for its own sake, and will therefore seldom inspire general insurrection. In his frequent and ineffectual attacks on the established order he will often cite the Bible, or the US Constitution to support incoherent arguments. Rebel Without a Clue NEVER reads forum FAQs, and loudly decries as fascism any enforcement whatsoever of forum rules.

CAN WE ALSO HAVE THE CONSTANT CAP INDIVIDUAL????
Netiquette Nazi is in control and she does not tolerate backtalk. The guidelines for every discussion forum are clearly posted and she demands obedience. If any of you sniveling dogs break the rules or deviate from strict observance of netiquette you WILL be punished.

Breifly, we were driving back from blackpool, and were going to pull into a layby for am pee, but some clever "joker" said "Don't stop here, because it's used for dogging...." To which we ask "Whats that..." So to cut a long story short i though he was having a joke, but I check here and find he is telling the truth! Crazy.
