But, to use probably the most annoying sporting cliche of present times, I've got to take the positives out of this. And there is one.
On the way home, I called into the supermarket to pick-up some painkillers and found Nurofen on offer (wait, that's not it). So I attempted to buy two small boxes (just to have one in) together with a small box of paracetamol. But I wasn't allowed to because (according to the till man) current legislation forbids grown adults from buying more than two packs of over-the-counter pills in a single visit.
Did you know that? I certainly didn't, so I've learnt something today. Every cloud folks, every cloud.
(Needless to say, I then walked across the road to Boot's to buy the paracetamol. Your average painkiller junkie would obviously not have thought of that).
