The Cure

A question about (shocker)...Robert...

When Robert a.k.a. Smiffy had throat problems during the concert in Chicago?? I know the doctor told him not to sing. I read somewhere that he had to get a shot! I am wondering if they gave him a cortisone shot in the throat (is that possible) so he could perform. I just read it was bad but no explanation on where or what the shot was.
He sure goes out of his way to please his fans!!!!

No offense to the males on the board but when men get sick with a cold they act like they have the ebola virus! When women get the ebola virus they act like they have a cold. Robert doesn't seem to be a big baby but maybe we should ask the new poster, Mary P. Smith about that.

Funny you should mention it..

..but I think I may have the Ebola virus! I have not ate since I got up this morning. And I feel odd, and sticky sweaty. Yuck! Something is diffidently goin' on! Meanwhile, I must stay away from my dad, he's got a sinus problem, and thinks the world is ending. And I care not to listen to his bitching when I have no one to listen to me bitching. :-(

On the bright side..

..I woke up this morning with my hair in disarray (like most mornings - but this time it looks cool), looking just like Robert's hair! Yay! :-D

Robert is the luckiest man on earth!

He can go to work at any time he wants, and his hair can look like he just got up and didn't comb it, and even be wearing makeup, even dresses, and not get fired! :-D

My first job was cool like that..

..the boss just didn't care. Only enforced rules if big shots came along. Otherwise it's was free flowing. Sometimes after the shop closed the boss bought us beer! We would drink it in the back stockroom. :-P

Robert got the healing shot in his heinie. Where all good shots go.

*youch*

in all fairness, Robert really has an above average work ethic. he could have easily cancelled the remainder of that tour and gone home to sip chicken soup and whine between his sniffles. but that's not like him at all.

..wherever they put it....

.....I'D WISHED I COULD HAVE BEEN THAT CORTISONE!!!!!!!!

umm

Rosepetals ...I'm just impressed you used the word 'shocker'. I have no idea about the shot. I've seen that in a doco about someone else once and I am pretty sure it was in the throat.

I don't know about everywhere else but Aussie Rules footballers are always getting shots everywhere to get them through games.

Ooh I just though of a song...theres even tennis...but damn there's no you tube.. I'll find the lyrics....

music is sport
come gather round the court
come sweat and scream for your favourite team
as you cheer and down a beer
you think they're looking like they could be back in form this year;
they're sporting all the name gear

they got the shoulder-smacking corporate-backing
lights ablaring things are happening
you see the media sacarin glistening on their tongues
they'll be climbing up the rungs to the top of the industry echelons

keep it going on cos they didn't just come to play they came to win
pros like them know losing is a sin
and when it comes down to handling their balls
these boys'll give it their all from hand to eye
down the line super fine control
backhand forehand underhand power plays
they'll be leaving all the opposition in a stunned daze

fast man
they leave the rest behind
you find they always have the last laugh
as the crowd roar

music is sport (x2)

the fests are the test they're like the musical olympics
or like grand final meets without the seats
it's band vs. band in an action packed day of non stop play off
where's the fucking pay off?

one gets the mic
one makes the pass
one executes the play
time for a mexican wave

crowd goes wild for racket skills
i teach lessons in regression but it sure don't pay the bills
what the hell we hitting for?
record companies keeping score;

trying to get those shiny plaqued trophies for the office wall
pumping out the hits to feed the media blitz
now watch the swollen champs blow the champers on bikini clad tits
busted through a banner backstage

high five and then we pray to god;
before we play to the throbbing mob
so if you're ever on the sideline or sweating on the court
just remember my friends

music is sport (x4)

How do you know he got it in the fanny? Lol, because in England the front part is the fanny over here it's the back! I can't think of anything cuter than watching him get a shot in his gorgeous azz!

Now I'll be picturing Robert getting shot in the arse with a tranquilizer gun while playing nakkid tennis :oI

Thanks! :-)

LMAO!

This thread has me crackin up! I'm soooooo thankful that Smiffy didn't cancel that Chicago show or I woulda been screwed!!! I was really sick for that show, too ~ couldn't even hear out of one ear but I was determined to go. Who cares if I died the next day, it would've been worth it, lol!!!

So yes, Robert was a trooper! Even if he had to get a miracle shot in his throat or arse?? Whatever the fook works, right??

p.s. And yes, men (sorry guys no offense!) are big arse babies sometimes when they're sick. For this very reason I wouldn't take my husband seriously when he was whining and moaning once that he didn't feel good, blah, blah, blah. I just thought he was crying wolf again and wanted to be babied... turned out he had fookin pneumonia! Talk about feeling like an arsehole!!!

:\
