He had been ill for days previous to the match. Incidentally, I've been under the weather for something like 10 days and I'm seriously piddled off with it.
You don't know how badly I feel about it. Would you want me to accurately convey my annoyance in words..?
Because your parents gave it to you? Or because you are a fan of the Sherlock Holmes stories? I did actually read that particular one a few years ago, but forgive my ignorance as I'm failing to make the link, unless there is another meaning to your moniker. Do enlighten me!
Yeah, it's the Sherlock Holmes connection, but also for two other reasons. 1] There was a member of Saints Forever and The Saints Web called The Stain, so I'd be the second one and, 2] Stain is a play on Saint. Of course, piddle can leave a stain too, hence the reference.
A-hah, I knew once you told me I'd feel silly for failing to understand the allusion, and indeed, I do! Your handle certainly has more thought and meaning to it than mine.
