Man Uses High Blood Pressure As Default Excuse For Doing Nothing

A man has become a master at laziness and inactivity by using a minor medical condition as an excuse on any physical demand placed on him.

Phillip DeVere, 39, of Park Lane, went for a regular check-up for his private medical insurance first thing this morning and after numerous tests, the only thing that his Doctor could find was out of balance was a slightly above average blood pressure level.

'' I don't really drink, or smoke and try to eat correctly, the only contributing factor could be my lack of exercise. He said I just have to be careful.'' That comment from Mr DeVere, safely sat in his favourite armchair.

Initial reports suggested Phillip was going to make a proactive effort to take regular exercise, but he later decided that his new plasma TV was too much to part with.

Rumours are circulating that the relaying of the garden patio is being hived off to Phillip's nephew, despite the medical fact that Mr DeVere could relay Trafalgar Square before his blood pressure peaked anywhere near 'dangerous'.

Swindon Centric Says ; If Phillip gets a cold he'll have to be put in a wheelchair just to blow his nose!
