Now, you might think this is just tennis elbow, which is quite a funny disease anyway, isn't it?

Like the idea there's a disease named after a sport.

Because I think you can have tennis elbow without playing tennis, which seems mad to me.

I mean, maybe if it became for tennis, it's possible.

Almost definitely tennis elbow, if I looked it up, would have a sort of Latin name or whatever, nothing to do with tennis.

But it appears to be linked to tennis.

But it's not to do with that.

I had an injection, a blood test, a routine blood test.

And the bloke doing the blood test recognised me and started talking to me about football, right, endlessly.

endlessly saying, oh, you know, I support Nigeria, but I really like England and this and that, on and on and on.

You know, whenever that happens, I am always polite.

I'm often interested anyway, but I'm thinking like, mate, it's really hurting.

The needle's been in for 25 minutes.

The amount of blood you're taking while you're going on, it seems to be a barrel full.

He was getting really irate and he rang talk sports like banging the table.

And another thing, they called us bottlers.

Yeah.

I mean, basically, it was a man doing a sort of, I would say, a seven-minute rant about football.

I mean, quite a friendly rant.

And he was a lovely bloke, but he was just endlessly taking blood, like far too much blood.
