Try five cold, greasy potato chips! That is one I remember so well... then a friend put a note through the letterbox telling me to hide them in my pocket and I did.

ALL food fads. Eat a varied diet with everything in moderation. Everything else is rubbish.

And don't start me on the organic issue. Yes my garden is organic because it benefits birds and insects but I am pragmatic when it comes to how mass produced food must be farmed. My home grown fruit and veg certainly taste better but the varieties used in gardens are different that those grown for the required yield. Organic commercial varieties taste the same as non organic of the same varieties.

Mr Pumpkinseeds went back to work yesterday after a couple of weeks off for Christmas and one of our cats is like a frigging anti-Christ since then. Mr P is his person and puss is making damned sure the other 3 suffer for his annoyance. Of course when Mr P came home puss stayed in his basket and ignored him.:rolleyes:

That's cats for you! Although dogs can be every bit as bad. I had a dog once that sat quietly beside the cat all day while I was at work. 10 minutes before I was due home every evening he'd chase the cat about the house, because he knew I didn't like said cat and was playing to the audience.
That cat was a TA, bordering on a serious dislike, for years. Gone now but certainly not forgotten. It spoiled the chances of a good home for any other cats, as I'll not have one near the place after her. I'm TA that that one little git coloured my opinion of all cats but maybe she was typical and my bias is well founded. We'll never know.

It was the same in the UK right after the war, when food was scarce and rationed. You NEVER left a scrap, and if you did it reappeared on your plate at the next meal and the next and the next until you ate it.

I guess many of us got brought up knowing that was only a few generations ago.

Yes! Is it particularly bad at the moment or something? I went for a ten minute walk earlier and I swear every metre there was a dog turd lying there

Getting the run around from the Medical profession :mad:

Ive had shoulder bursitis for months now. GP sent me to A&E in oct/nov, thought I had Septic Arthritis.

A&E xrayed me, did bloods etc, was just Bursitis. A&E refer me to Physio in same hospital.

So far so good.
Did physio, all that was required. Shoulder still in bits. Physio decides we cant progress any further without Cortisone.

So, she tells me, my GP needs to refer me back to get the FOOOKIN hospital Im already attending . Now all GP has to do, is send in referal letter.

Jut before Christmas, I had a bad fall ,busted up my face, and shoulder, so that made the shoulder worse again

So I Called GP's office, explain situation, give Pysios name and number, in case , ya know they need to verify. :rolleyes:

NOt enough for my GP, oh no, have to go over so she can check me out, and get another fifty odd quid.

Me bollix . Il be damned i I give her another penny. Im changing Doctors.

Im swallowing the pain meds like smarties

TL/DR : Medical proffesion ARGGHHH! :mad:

( hurt to type all that!)

This is why folk take short cuts and go to A and E. When I shattered my wrist in March it started to swell after two weeks and my next appointment was a week away. I was near another A and E so called in. got x rayed etc ( they give you the x rays on a cd) and they told me to go to my GP and get a referral letter.. for the consultant I had an appointment with a week away. I aid no way and arrived at A and E at that hospital early the next day, was seen, the emergency dealt with and my appointment brought forward. Because of the risk of infection if they delayed.

Mr. CooL ICE

The word "detox". You ate and drank loads over christmas. You weren't bitten by a venomous spider ffs

Ordered something online and its being sent by courier. Looking at the tracking it looks like they are taking it on a world tour before giving it to me.

Early morning hospital appointments. I've got one at 8.30 next week but since I'm going by bus I'll have to get one at 6ish so I can catch the connecting one to get me there in time. Worse than that was the attitude of the person who rang to confirm the appointment, she said 'if you aren't here before 9am don't bother coming':eek::mad:

I'm about to put something on adverts. Have never used it before. Should I be worried about this type of carry on? I have a feeling I will have many a trivial annoyance to report after dipping my toe into the world of adverts/buy and sell:(

I've only sold a few things in the past and it mostly went well.

I just don't seem to have any luck with this particular item, will just stick it up the attic now I think. There are plenty of people who basically want your stuff for free though. I've listed all my stuff at reasonable prices and often got offers of less than half the price I listed them for.

These same people going on an alcohol detox for January and when they ask you if you're going on one and you say no, they act all superior. Well I actually don't binge drink like a frat boy so I don't need to detox my liver, thanks.

Nearly as bad as arriving into t'Woolpack on a Saturday evening, one of your mates is at the bar supping creamy black, and you say something harmless and conversational like "Well Mick! How's the Guinness?". The reply is a half-hour dissertation on how he's been destroying himself over the Christmas, sometimes drinking five or six pints in a night, New Year plans for the gym, liver cleansing, running marathons, etc. etc. Merciful divine Cheeses in an artic, I'm sorry I asked. You'd think I was after finding him under a motorway flyover with a Livestock syringe full of heroin up his hole!! :pac:

califano

When your in a shop finishing up paying by card no matter where you are the attendant doesn't give you a nano second to take your card out without having to tell you to take it out like your asleep or something. And its always said in a snappy, hurry hurry way. ''Can you not see the only thing i'm looking at and waiting for is the LED message to appear and tell me to take it out!''. Just give me one second to take it out on my own initiative please.
