WARNER BROS BANG! CRASH! WALLOP! M.E! ?


So there I was this afternoon Tuesday 23/10/2012 having my usual, boring, frustrating, but necessary rest courtesy of illness M.E when I was woken by a loud explosion……when I say woken, it was more of a  speedy cartoon fly off tha bed, hit ceiling and land back with a boing oing oing oing!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud to live near Warner bros film studio here in Watford, its given hours of conversational pleasure over tha years. Tha  time I stood shoulder to shoulder with Pierce Brosnan in tha local pub one lunchtime….
                                             
it would have been better if I’d known at the time, I couldn’t quite work out why everyone tha opposite end of the bar were nodding their heads at me, waving, pointing & smiling. I did casually glance to my side, but being short I didn’t look up at his face, I just saw a suit and carried on with placing my order…I will not be side tracked when it comes to food……not for anyone ;)

There’s been aeroplanes falling out of the sky, aeroplanes falling out of tha sky with people hanging from them, helicopter chases, people jumping from exploding towers, fire, smoke, gunshots, explosions…ah yes explosions.
                                                           
Tha problem with M.E means most of us are sensitive to just about everything, and while I don’t want to get all boring and scientific, briefly, we don’t release the right amount of chemicals and hormones at tha speed needed to calm us back down after something nerve racking or exciting happens, like a healthy person does, which means we can be left in fright mode for hours or days before our body settles back down again.  
                                      
It’s  very frustrating considering I used to be quite tough….now I don’t mean tough as in “I’m ‘ard”  I just mean I was able to cope with just about anything and everything….   although tha police did once tell me to remember  that I lived in Watford NOT Italy and that I wasn’t tha Mafia…….little did they know about tha bodies under tha floorboards or tha horsehead in tha freezer ( sound evil laugh MWHA HA HA HA HA!)
                                          

Talking of horses, that’s tha only problem I have with Warner Bros Film studio, they tend to bolt tha stable door waaaaaay after tha horse has already bolted. Some weeks  ago now there  was a large explosion which had me and my poor mother jump out our skins and then three days later a note was pushed through tha door to say that courtesy of tha studio filming there would be explosions & gunshots  and fire and smoke as they were having a practice run………by that time I’d already had my own practice run which involved my stomach falling out of my bottom.
                                               


But saying that we’re kinda used to it now…explosions and things, not things falling out my bottom, and I’d rather have tha studio here than not at all , infact I love living near tha studio coz you never quite know whats gonna happen next. Stay Blessed, Back Before Elvis :) xxx

Let me start by wishing you all a Happy New Year as we come together for the first Column of 2017 with our dried fruit and peppermint tea? .....Yeah right, coffee and custard creams it is then?  Well holy moly! like many of you I've been struggling with "Happy" after being hit with this cold bug going around since before Christmas  and  then yesterday afternoon I had a major M.E relapse....Things can only get better right?  it's not evident that "Happy" is doing any better on the TV front either  is it? What on earth is going on with the writers? I grew up watching Coronation Street and later Emmerdale & Eastenders with my mum, there was also hollyoaks of course and they had storylines and people that we could relate to, it was still escapism, watching someone elses life unfold on screen, but it was pretty relaxed  family viewing. But fast forward and they've all turned into action busters, violence, murders, death & explosions, hardly chil

M.E? shudduppa ya face

Tha problem with M.E apart from having to cope with  enough symptoms to fill an encyclopaedia  with is  it means you have no life, so if you have no life other than M.E what are you expected to talk about? When I’m not recovering from major surgery I do have a little bit of a life that I’ve carved out for myself but that’s taken a long time and takes discipline and determination to carry out because it doesn’t stop my day being consumed by M.E. and everyone copes differently. For those of you that don’t have M.E let me explain, imagine a time when you’ve had  raging toothache, you know tha kind, where it feels like your  whole heads pulsating and throbbing with pain?  now imagine painkillers don’t work, theres nuthin tha dentist can do so you’re just gonna have to get on with it, live like that everyday probably for tha rest of your life……..now throw flu and a  hangover into tha mix and everyone expects you to carry on as normal?…I’m just giving you a little taste of what M.E

Far from Cute & Fluffy.

I’d like to start by apologising  for the  confusion and inconvenience caused to many of you by my  having an illness that’s not evidently obvious for you to see, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E) to be exact, a physical illness & multi-systemic disease, classified by the world health organisation on diseases of the nervous system (Neurological) . I would’ve much rather of chosen  one that came with a neon flashing light or failing that at least a  more popular  fluffy  palatable one, but  unfortunately  I didn’t  get the option of an  A, B or C.  As medical, media and public perception go, M.E is without doubt the witch hunt of the modern age.  Back in the 17th century a suspected witch was tied up and  dunked in water, the water god had anointed baptism stylee, so if she sank and drowned it meant she’d been accepted by the holy water and  was deemed innocent, but if she floated  she was  found guilty of being a witch because it was believed the water rejected servants of t
