How can you get a bad stomach from potato salad?
I mean it’s pretty innocuous stuff, surely? I only made it two days ago and it’s been in the ‘fridge since, but after having it for lunch, things haven’t…er… been so good. So I’m sitting here typing this instead of wandering around Guildford. Maybe I’ll wander down tonight and do the ‘Ghost Walk of Guildford’, but I’m still feeling a bit dodgy so maybe I’ll just do the walk to the bathroom instead…
It made me think about illnesses and – touch wood – I seem to have been pretty lucky. Dodgy tummies and the occasional puffy ankle seem to be the worst things that happen to me. So I just avoid furry pork pies and re-heated chicken, and sit with my feet up – no problem, I can do that.
In fact I’ve only ever had one spell in hospital, and that was when I was about 5 and managed to scald myself from head to foot. All I can remember is lots of anxious faces peering at me with great concern as they wrapped me in blankets and all I was thinking was “I’m fine… why is everyone so worried… I can’t feel any pain at all…” and then passed out and woke up in hospital – like a snake, with a complete new set of skin. Man – I got loads of new comics, and plenty of sweeties – it was great!
Then when I was about 12, my dozy friend next door was playing around with his air rifle and meant to blast me with the air from the empty rifle – except he forgot he had a pellet in it and shot me through the cheek from about 3 inches. Once more I didn’t feel a thing – except something hit my tooth and when I spat it out it came out with lots of red gravy… Eeeeh – no stay in hospital but lots more sweeties and free comics… His parents must really have spoilt him – he had stacks of comics, and now they were all mine - champion!
So what’s my reward for having a bad tummy today? Anyone going to take me out for a beer? Or buy me some sweeties? Don’t all rush…
