I haven't had a drink since the year 2000.
It's not good for me.
Did I have a drink problem before that? My liver thought so, because I have Gilbert's syndrome, which the AI Gods tell us "is a common, harmless inherited liver condition where the liver processes bilirubin more slowly than normal, leading to mild jaundice, fatigue, and occasional abdominal discomfort."
I would add that the fatigue I suffered, especially after drinking a little too much, was far worse than "mild", and lasted longer than any hangover you've ever had.
The Thin Yoghurts, on the other hand, clearly did have a drink problem back in 1980.
The A-side of today's song was this...
The Thin Yoghurts - Girl on the Bus
It's not bad. But the B-side is much better...
Sounds unpleasant (your condition not the song). Anything to do with & George, & Sullivan or O'Sullivan?
ReplyDeleteWell, it did make me ask Why Oh Why Oh Why? for awhile.
DeleteHey Rol, thanks for posting this, I had only ever heard the a side Girl on a Bus which is great, good to hear the b side.
ReplyDeleteI also have Gilberts Syndrome and issues with my Bilirubins, had it for years now. Also heard all the Gilbert O'Sullivan gags, I have tried giving up the drink but No Matter How I Try i just can't :-) I just try and pace myself and stick to beer, no spirits or wine these days.

I feel I really should have known this, being from 1980 and the type of song that it is... but it's completely new to me so many thanks Rol. And I do hope your condition doesn't cause you any problems day to day even without alcohol - it really sounds very unpleasant.
