I Thought I'd Won The War...Then Lost A Battle

Damn, I was being so pleased to have avoided the flu that I didn't see the advancing armies of a cold. Struck in on Saturday and is refusing to budge leading to blocked nose, chesty cough, heavy eyes and bouts of 'poor me'.

So I'm off to try and plough through my exceedingly long and unseasonal to-do list (motor racing in December?!) though I'd rather be here as there is so much in the news I'd like to rant about....

If you do not laugh you must be tired of life or, eh, French.
