“Nose, if you wanna keep on dripping, I’m not gonna keep on wiping you. Here’s a tissue: knock yourself out!”
***
My family & I apparently live in the highest allergen zone in Australia - or so the local pharmacy assistants keep telling me as they gleefully sell me yet another batch of near-useless antihistamine.
It would certainly explain why I have had year-round hayfever ever since moving in. It gets so bad some days that one eye and one nostril will continually run with water (not snot) for hours on end.
This has been an especially bad week for it, though today I’m actually (and for no apparent reason) feeling better. But tomorrow, since I have to present a speech at a local Rotary Club, I’d better find an alternative to the tissue above …

The alternative is easy, Pete - simply stuff your nostrils with said tissues (excellent solution, by the way, I use the same one with hankies), and simply trim off the excess. It would be a good idea to trim them so that little is showing, otherwise questions about substance abuse may start flying your way.
BTW - you really have to alter the colour of this text when commenting. My retinas have exploded with the strain…

Trying to fix this font colour, mate. Sorry!
The idea above is a good one. I’m just afraid that someone will make me laugh and I’ll kind of reverse-snort, shooting the tissue out of a nostril and taking out someone’s eye.

I thought that the “bloke” thing was just to wipe it on your sleeve.
The comment box is fixed - it was just another way to freak-out the fathers

It freaked out quite a few, including yours truly.
… thanks mysterious “Admin” person….

And yes, we men had trouble with the light on light text because of colour-blindness issues….
