Hey, thought I'd check this out. As usual, reviewing as I read and corrections in square brackets.

Gosh, you're worse than me at doping yourself up on exciting drug cocktails. My favourite is a combo of neurofen, lemsip tablets (which contain paracetomal) and cough mixture. Works a charm :D

Arseholes.

Heh. There's a reason I've never been a fan of team sports. Glad you can put it behind you, and I bet this was cathartic to write too.

I couldn't agree with you more about that game. To see the amount of emphasis and the intensity behind that cult brings a bit of vomit to the back of my mouth. I can't believe that you would be given such a rough time for missing two weeks of practice, but I suppose that in the realm of college football, that would be blasphemy.

It was a great story; very well written and gripping. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage, as well.
