Walk Like a Pirate Day

Monday, August 14th, 2006 at 12:45 pm

I have my personal “Walk Like a Pirate Day” today. Somehow I managed to strain my knee on Friday and Saturday it felt bad but Sunday it felt terrible. One hour waiting in the NHS Centre later I got the amazing advice to “take some pain pills and we’ll see how it is on Friday. If it is not better, go to your GP” (for more waiting, I suppose).

All in all this leaves me with a Clouseau-worthy limp and I am tempted to go Arrrrrrr me mateys! to get a seat on the tube.
