Despite the heavy drugs I've been shoving down my pipe for the past few days, the abscess on my tooth has worsened and my face has puffed up. I'm sure I saw a couple of kids nudge each other and laugh as I clambered on the train yesterday morning.
Maybe they thought I was someone else, someone famous.
Humpty Dumpty perhaps?
A reincarnated Frank Sidebottom?
Peter Griffin from Family Guy?
Or Eric Pickles on a trip back home to Yorkshire?
Anyway, it's all academic now as my huge headedness now appears to be less huge. So that's good.
