WoW, a discovery!

I've sussed it out. I have been sick for five weeks - coughing, sore throat, febrile, bad tempered (actually that's normal) and lack of appetite. Am on my fourth course of various antibiotics and also on my fourth sick day for that period. These are all symptoms of withdrawal, and as a coincidence - it was five weeks ago that I dropped WoW. I have run the gauntlet of adhesive mmorpg patches such as LOTRO and Freddy Fish: the monster of coral cove, but all to no avail. Just as an experiment, and with no personal gratification in mind, I will re-enter Azeroth via a Darnassian domiciled 22 NE shadow priest. Ahhh, I feel better already. If it doesn't work then I'll just give up again, somewhere around xmas.
I always enjoy the first week of Le Tour before the first hilly bits separate the men from the men who take too much EPO. Not that they do that anymore. Not even synthetic testosterone, or the real dangerous ones like Salbutamol. Makes you puff just thinking about L’Alpe d’Huez without at least a marmite sandwhich up your maillot jaune. If I desperately sick tomorrow then I may just stay up and watch day five tonight.
