Cypatriots

My new word is "Cypatriots". I have a collegue who is Cyprian and quite proud of it. There's nothing worng with being proud of your heritage but you can merge the words "Cypriot" or "Cyprian" with "patriot" very nicely. I'm not sure if there are others that you could do it with (I'm sure there are), but I don't feel like trying. I'm lazy that way. New words should come naturally.
Anyway, I'm slowly getting better. I can breathe through one nostral at a time, although my throat still hurts and I'm cough up great balls of muscous.
I hate Med-lemon, but it does seem to work. The reason I hate it is that the acidity, bitterness and temperature all remind me of vomit. It's always my last resort when I don't seem to be getting better.
Yesterday I had to go to the all delightful Access 2007 course at NMMU. Again it turned out to be thrillingly boring. What tipped me over the edge was when the lecturer said, "And now which datatype would we use for a field called Date?" - I actually gasped "Oh My God". I can't believe the level of this course. We are all supposed to be teaching this stuff and yet these people can't even do the simplest of things.
