Bragging and why it is not a good idea

Last week I told our lovely GP that I hardly ever get pain and was then struck down with lightning from the sky.
This week I told Ann that I have not been sick since Xmas I think or even before that and my pain seems to have gone - this morning, felt sick & then threw up, and I seem to have buggered up my 'bad' arm by pulling a muscle in it when I was mowing the lawns yeserday.

Hmpf ... I may give up talking to preserve my health
