Hello, they're welcome to a brand new Arsplug Arscast right here on arsplug.com.

I hope you're well. I'm slightly still suffering a little bit from the illness I had last week, but nevertheless, I have battled through to bring you an arscast on New Year's Eve.

As we head into a new year, is it a new decade? I can never tell, or remember, or care enough to find out whether the decades begin at zero or one.

So it could be a new decade, or it could be just another year into a new decade which started last year, which I didn't know anything about.

So whatever. Anyway, yes, still a little bit sick. I can only sort of hear in one ear. Well, not that I can only hear in one ear, but one ear hears a lot better than the other ear.

Normally, your two ears work both as well as each other, but now my ears are like feet. One of them is good, and one of them really isn't. And funnily enough, it's the exact opposite of my feet.

My left ear is fine, and my right ear is all kind of a little bit blocked, and if I blow eyes from my nose, it goes like you're on a plane and all that kind of stuff.

At least I hope it's my ears, and not the computer or the headphones, and the balance down here, and if I check, no. Oh, yeah, no, it's definitely my ears.

As my right foot is my good foot, my left foot is sort of my standing foot, but it's the other way around with my ears.

And I've been sort of battling this since last week. I hope you had a good Christmas day, wherever it was, we were right with the mugsmasher, and he did all the driving on a very, very cold Christmas day.

But I've been, you know, trying to get on top of this cold thing, this chest thing, and I've been coughing up some really quite green things.

And I have some cough medicine, which helped to a certain extent, but I figured I'd try a more natural way of getting better.

And what could be more natural than, let's say, grapes fermented over time into delicious beverage, and you know, water and hops and barley and sugar, the beer sense of things, and whiskey and milk.

Milk is a very good drink for you, especially when you have it with some vodka and clua and ice in a glass in a white Russian, which is my new favorite thing, and not even because I saw the Big Lebowski, it's just the ultimate 20 second drink, isn't it?

Vodka, I scrunch it around, and there you go. So you have it. And I have found a remarkable thing that over the course of time, as the weakest regressed, I have become slightly better each day, and I put this down to the consumption of alcohol.

So next time you're a bit ill, save yourself the money and the time and effort of going to the hospital, or the doctor, simply drink regularly throughout the week.

And you will find, now I'm not saying this is 100% guaranteed, because I don't want to get sued here or anything someone has said, well, I've discovered this enormous tumor on my arson.

I decided to drink it away, and it didn't work, and Arsplug told me to do that, so I'm suing him for $100 million for lack of Ars tumor removal via alcohol.

But for the most of you, I would imagine that whatever little sickness you might have, you could get rid of it by drinking on a regular basis throughout the week.

You might not feel so good in the morning, first thing in the morning, might be a little bit challenging getting out of bed.

You might lie there going, oh, for fuck's sake, fuck them on their blog.

Oh, no, I can't, no, I'm not getting out of bed, no, they can't, no, they can't wait.
