Back in my footballing days when I had tonsillitis, I hacked off my tonsil with a Swiss army knife, spat it out over the boundary and just kept on playing.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

As long as it’s tonsillitis and not glandular fever.

 

[Maxabillions]

As long as it’s not appendicitis

I thought most babies had their tonsils out

Kids of today are so wasteful. We chewed 'em up and swallowed 'em. No point wasting such valuable protein.

M'kay, showing my age here.

Don't do a google search on Riley Reid from the office folks!

I've only seen the UK version, and I don't recall seeing her with Gervais and the rest of the gang. She must've been in the US show...



Edit: Ok never mind, probably a good thing Gervais never starred in anything with her. And I'll second the suggestion to not search on Google, at least not while at work...

Almost found it out the hard way

We’re talking about Zach not Riley here

Haha. Now that I've looked this up. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Glandular Fever diagnosis.

Top Essendon draft pick struck down by glandular fever

Sam Edmund has the latest.

Sounds like they've caught it early so he should be okay to return at some point soonish.

Hope he doesn't cop it like Waterman did.

 

[Runk]

bloody kids and they're xboxes and what nots

* let's hope it is the good kind not the bad kind that whips out a couple of years

Reid, fell ill after making his debut in the rain-soaked loss to the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba in Round 5

So Mum was right about playing in the rain all along...

 

[The Devils Advocate]

I blame Waterman

I umpired in sleet and hail 2 years ago ended up with Bronchitis and the other umpire ended up with his liver/kidney shutting down because it was simply too cold

I think it is definitely real problem

Not sure if youre being serious or not, but Glandular is only acquired through the sharing of saliva. Usually young blokes get it from kissing too many girls.

Just googled Riley, benefits of working from home!

Damn him and his clean cut country boy looks

my maltese elderwomen would use this as proof
Also, socks on when walking on tiles (i just got rid of tiles)

Wait, so is it tonsilitis or glandular fever? I thought the reports said it was tonsilitis, has the diagnosis changed since the last update?

Yep. Had follow-up tests and it looks as though he's now tested positive for it.
