So as some of you should know I have being coughing & spluttering of late, and hopefully that is now largely over.
I had a Chest Infection, started just before I came home for Ciaran's Christening, and I was largely out of action for that week, which sucked as it was a 4 day stay at home with my family. I spent too much of that trip in bed asleep, but when I got back to the UK I stayed off work and went to the doctor, though it had to be the NHS Walk-In clinic as you have to plan illness with doctors.
But ho hum, first round of anti-biotics were weak and didn't really clear it up, so I went back two weeks ago (again just before a flight home) but this time coughing wasn't accompanied by dizziness & temperature, so I was able to see family & be sociable. My latest course of anti-biotics seem to have done wonders for my system. I was worried when I was prescribed medicine that came with the warning, "this make you nauseous". But Erythroped A for the win people. I didn't spend the week waking up coughing and I barely cough at all anymore, so I can move forward away from that illness and look to get healthier in general. Fitness will be the key for a egg & chicken approach to Brian's general fitness general plan.
Some jogging to begin with, before joining a gym near home that I can & would go to 3 to 5 times a week. Last gym I was going to was beside work, and that meant I could only use it during the week. So something in the Hammersmith area will give me a few evenings a week plus a Saturday or Sunday morning session time. And in the New Year, I am going to take up Tag Rugby, I've already looked into it, the current season of competitions ends this coming Monday, so I'll wait till the next ones are announced and register as an individual to be assigned a team. Finsbury Park will be a bit of a trek on a Monday night, so hopefully the Sunday sessions in Wandsworth Common will start up in early Spring.

Sexton starting!!
Declan Kidney has broke with his conservative selection nature and gone for the rookie who has shown the better form than than veteran. In doing so, he has thrown the cat amongst the pigeons that the OAPs are not guaranteed their jersey's through the 6 Nations and beyond.
Well lets not get ahead of ourselves.

After talking to a company on twitter yesterday they have resolved a problem above and beyond my expected level.
Yesterday, I saw a tweet from Lovefilm, and since it was very frustrating to have burned a free credit on a DVD I didn't want to watch yet I decided to send them this reply on twitter.
@LOVEFiLM disappointed that my free credit for mail strikes was taken from a hold list without disk allocation. So got season 2 before 1
Background through Read More
I was stunned to receive a reply by direct message from Lovefilm, first explaining how extra credit allocation is done, default list. The problem was that I was only aware of this list as the one that you add new titles, using the default list as a holding list.
And asking for my login email so that they could see if they could help.
After reassuring me that if I returned the dvd, I would be able to rent it in the future, as "you can rent films as many times as you like." The operative on the @LoveFilm account then proceeded credit back my free credit and then send me a dvd from my new "default list" as an additional free credit.
So with Bolt & Sarah Connor in the post and two BSG dvds at home, 30 Rock is on the way now courtesy of LoveFilm customer service.
