Stomachs. Rowing. Boycotts.

My stomach's not right today, but I'm not doing anything about it, like eating dry toast or electrolytes or alternatively nothing or whatever else you're meant to do, because I'm hungry. I never have a dodgy stomach and a diminished appetite at the same time. I remember being simultaneously seasick and desperate for a curry.

I've been using a rowing machine for ten days now and I still haven't turned into an inverted triangle.

The repeat of QI on a Saturday is ten minutes longer than the original screening on a Friday. I only discovered this by watching it. I thought I'd share the knowledge for the benefit of my flist. I'm not watching this week's QI because it has Johnny Vegas on it. He's on my boycott list, along with McDonalds and other weirdly selective venues. I really hope he's not on this year's Strictly Come Dancing. I don't much want to boycott that.

I don't know how anyone ever manages to walk into a Subway. A sandwich Subway, not an underground one. Not for boycotting reasons. Just because of the smell.

I often eat through nausea - it seems to work. Not always obviously - but more often than not.

Generally nausea gives me a tremendous craving for salt and vinegar crisps. Probably that means they're a cure. I don't know. It looks sort of counter-intuitive, but I always think it's going to work for me.

Thank you very much :)

You're quite welcome. I'm sure it didn't actually say it was an extended edition but certainly it had a lot of Rob Brydon I hadn't seen the previous evening. Sneaky beasts.

Subway disturbs me. It's like Cafe Nero, but for sandwiches and not full of tasty things. So....nothing like Cafe Nero.
In fact. I'm sorry I said anything.

But yeah. Subway makes me feel ill.

It's really quite a disturbing smell that comes out of it. I feel I'm prejudging it very slightly on the grounds that I've never actually stepped into one. But I can't. Because of the worrying smell.
