My Left Foot
Can you spot the difference?
hint: my left foot is somewhat larger...It was Sunday, so I thought, I know, I'll take my books and go down by the pool. Then I can relax in the sunshine whilst still reading for my exam. That'll be nice.
Whilst I was down there I must have been savaged by some sort of monster ant/mosquito/insect type beast. This resulted in some localised "guy-fawking" of my left foot.
It itches like hell and I just want to scratch it clean off. Why me?
Sometimes I watch those natural history type programs where some white guy from London heads off into the jungles of Borneo in search of some moth (or suchlike). During the trip he is bitten by multiple insects all of which results in fairly manageable irritation.
I often think if I received that many bites I'd inflate to 6 times my actual size and be totally immobile.
Footnote(!): there is a Christy Brown / Daniel Day Lewis reference here (somewhere) which was the subject of a little known (and fairly irreverent) sketch by Rob Newman & David Baddiel. I won't relate the details, suffice to say that the key line was: "he makes me look like some sort of...."
I have included this entire footnote for Mr Payne (the only other living person I know who would recognise this comedy reference) even though he never reads this blog. One day he will...

at least you didnt end up having crunchy mango juice (never leave a carton of juice open as I found out the next day when I just drunk and ended up having mango & ant juice! yuck!!!!!)
oh yeah just remembered have you tried this insect repellent called odomos (you should get this in a local pharmacy!!) it works really well!
