Monty python

[soulboy118]

This morning im reminded of the monty python sketch about spam and how that relates to my life ,the lady was trying to get breakfast without spam as i am trying to get life without phlegm , phlegm with breakfast ,with a cup of tea ,with a shower, anytime i exercise,doesnt matter what i do twice a day regular as clockwork that damn phlegm rears its ugly head , the one good side of this is once ive eventually gotten rid of this diagusting substance im able to breath much easier , sometimes i feel like an alien lol rant over

Have a good day everyone and as always breath easy

Phlegm is very similar

To spam inside a tin

Both you see are better

When they're out not in. 😉

Is there a special spam/mucus connection that I’m unaware of? Is there a reason for it being spam in a can rather than beans or pineapple rings or soup? Or did it just fit the iambic pentameter better?

😛

[Hidden in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Spam in tins was brought over to us from America during WW2 when meat was in very short supply. It was difficult to buy a meat dish without it being included in some form or other. It was national joke which Monty Python used for a sketch. Now soulboy118 likewise finds it difficult do anything without phlegm being involved.

I was going to say substitute the word spam for phlegm don

I feel my cultural education is somewhat lacking here. Most humble apologies for my ignorance 🥫

[soulboy118 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Nothing to apologise for , have a good day

Oh dear - I dont find spam any nicer than mucus these days. Had it as a child though. So happy to hear others like it or they'd go out of business.

[soulboy118 in reply to O2Trees]

I never liked spam myself but i do like sonething called bacon grill , it has the same consistency as spam but the taste of well bacon lol

[sassy59]

Pete brings up his mucus throughout the day. It’s really awful but what to do?

Have a good day soulboy. Xxxxx

[soulboy118 in reply to sassy59]

I get little bouts here and there but i have two good bouts of phlegm twice a day ,these can last anywhere from 10mins to well over an hour but like i ssid the silver lining is easier breathing 😀

Wish I could just get it up every day. I cant breath properly and find it so hard go bring it up and then the panic attack starts. but what a relief when I do. You keep well soulboy. Mx

[soulboy118 in reply to Hidden]

Sorry to hear about those dreaded panic atracks ,have you heard of CBT therapy ? ( cognotive behavioral therapy) ask you physiotherapist or doc about ,its supposed to be good for PTSD panic attacks anxiety etc ,

[Hidden in reply to soulboy118]

Yes we only have it I line in my area of Scotland and unfortunately for me my tablet doesn't support it. Spoke to dr about this and was advised to either get a new laptop or pay privately. Only thing they could offer was diazepam which I wont take. I've managed to get a free trial of an app called Headspace and if I feel it helps I'll pay the £70 it costs. Thanks again soulboy your support has been invaluable to me. Mx

I know it's rotten sometimes it has me coughing and vomiting.....not nice, but I can breath so much easier once I've cleared it. Xxxx

[soulboy118 in reply to pegbl]

Its a relief when you havd gotten it up ,i can feel the extra air going into my lungs

[Jomo46]

I get the same, but started on a salt inhaler pipe about a week ago. I breath on that for about 15 mins, then find the phlegm is much looser and easier to cough up. My chest feels so much better.

[soulboy118]

Thanks jomo ill look into it

Oh, used to love spam fritters at school. Healthy eating nightmare, but so delicious with baked beans and mash.

[soulboy118]
