Doesn't "bloody" refer to the crucifiction? Sort of an expletive, but I may be incorrectly remembering.

All except the Brits who do have some peculiar ways with their language.  Dammit they think that a truck is a lorry, a toilet is a loo, a baby buggy is a pram,  and a whole other bunch of things that they have deliberatly mislabeled.......  ::).
And for some strange reason, things are, "bloody" bloody this, bloody that.  :worried:

Yes. :smilenod: What is with all the blood I wonder?  :notsure:

I have a theory:

a) Brits apparently like eating weird blood sausages called Black Pudding.
b) In movies, villains very often speak with a British accent.
c) Vampires are generally villains.
d) Vampires feed on blood.

Therefore:

Brits are vampires...? :notsure:

The premises leading up to the conclusion may be a little faulty but I believe the conclusion is solid. :smilenod:
I think you're bloody right.  :grin:

I don't think I'm going to class today. Just woke up and the last time I slept until four in the afternoon I was a teenager. Damn I'm tired. Just wanted a little nap this morning.

This does not sound right. I urge you to get some thorough tests done to find out what is causing your lack of energy.

I go back to the cardiologist on Wednesday and he said he's going to refer me to a general practitioner. So it'll probably be a month or so before I get to see a regular doctor. That's if this GP is taking on new patients. Very few of them are around here.

I'm hoping it's a good sign that the cardiologist is sending you to a GP rather than another specialist.

That means his heart isn't the issue, methinks. That's good news, though it can be frustrating to have to wait so long to see the GO.

I feel your pain. My "Her Majesty" Beatles reference on "Archie" was not appreciated, either.
