I think I'm getting a chest infection.

Ugh I hope you're not. Nothing worse.
I had a bad cold and cough the week before Christmas. I assumed that's all it was.

Until Christmas morning dawned and I felt worse. During the day the cough had reached deep into my chest and it was a chest infection.
I felt so terrible; each cough was agony and I felt so sick.

Obviously there was no doctor's open and it wasn't an emergency so it didn't warrant an A&E visit. I lay on the bed and cried, feeling so sorry for myself.
I ended up having a few drinks and felt a LOT better.

Told me GP a few days later when I was getting antibiotics and he said he'd have done the same himself.

Anyway, long story short; get yourself some antibiotics if you really think it's a chest infection.
It won't go on its' own.

Stupid wisdom teeth moving my (formerly) lovely teeth that my parents spent a fortune having fixed :-(

People putting their kids pictures as their facebook profile picture. Pisses me off no end.

One of my teeth moved after the five years of treatment and I asked for it to be straightened again. Nobody will listen to me and they said it looks fine. I paid for it myself when I was on a low wage and I think they should fix it. I demand perfection.

I'm in my thirties and I cannot

1)tie a tie properly
2)tie shoelaces properly

For both I have found a way to do it, but people look at me with tilted head and puzzled look when they see me doing it.

I can't teach the kids to tie their laces now either, the boy is all f*cked up about tying laces because of my style and because Mrs. Bap is a leftie. He has no idea what is going on.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. The vast majority of people can't tie shoelaces properly either

I'm also a fan of the opinion espoused by the literary James Bond who famously 'abhorred shoe-laces'

People claiming they 'can't function' until they've had their coffee. FFS it's not crack cocaine. You don't need a cup of hot black shít in a cup just to wake up.

This happened to me too but it was my own fault for not wearing a retainer bar at night. Two front teeth have move a millimeter and everybody swears they cant notice but I can and it drives me mental. As soon as I get over my exams next year, I'm getting a brace back on, although it might be nice to have the teeth sorted for my graduation. Hmmmm......

F**king media with their phrases

First it was "Grexit" - referring to the possible exit of Greece from the EU

Now we have to deal with "Brexit"?

FFS :mad:

Au contraire. If they have a coffee every morning, their brain make-up will have altered slightly to compensate, and they may well have problems focusing.

A man in a crap, cheap, ill fitting suit

A man in a decent suit, with decent shoes that are screaming out for a bit of polish.

Went to a wedding recently and my husband and I met up with our friend who was staying in the hotel. Since the ceremony was in the hotel, the friend invited us to his room to have a drink before the wedding.

When we got to the room, he was in his suit. He started looking through his bag and realised that he had forgot his shoes. He only had these runner like shoes that were brown. He was freaking out. I felt bad but any time I looked at him in the runners with the suit I couldn't stop laughing. Then he realised he also forgot his cufflinks and his belt. Ha! Found the belt in a side pocket in the end.

The minute we got down to the bar before the wedding, straight away the other lads noticed it. They were like "wtf are you wearing?".

Mine is very crooked and they didn't give me a retainer for the upper teeth. I'm wondering about getting a bar I could wear. I'll ask about it again. I'm their nightmare client. As well in my latest graduation picture all I see is red hair and brown knashers whatever way the light took on the day!

They wont give a retaining bar for the top row of teeth, only for the lower one. I've a permanent retainer bar behind my bottom teeth and they are perfect. Top ones are less than perfect

It would be worth going back to the orthodontist who did the work. Mine offered to fit a brace again for 3-4 months to push them back to perfect, and only charge me for the cost of the brace and not his time.

This is very trivial.

My GP doesn't do appointments, he opens at 10am and it's first come first served. I usually arrive to queue up around 9.30, and at that stage I'm usually around 10th in the queue, so am there till around lunchtime before I get seen.

Today I arrived at 8.50 so I'd be first in the queue. Hardly anyone else turned up until almost 10. If I'd arrived at 9.30 as usual, I'd have been grand.

I mean, I know I still saved loads of time and all that. It would just have been so satisfying though, to have that usual big long queue of people behind me at 9.30 ... I totally missed out on that feeling of smugness I was so looking forward to!

Rubberlegs · 12-11-2015 01:15PM

The wipers are playing up on the car. Not a budge out of them when I flicked them on earlier, and while I'm trying to think what could be wrong, and poking at them, they start to work again. By this time it had stopped raining. I went to the supermarket and it was raining a bit when I came out, and again not a budge out of them. I drove down the town very cautiously , thankfully it wasn't raining heavily. I did what I had to do, by which time it was dry again. When I started the car the wipers sprung into life. Aaaaargh!

God. The only thing worse than being sick is being sick in a room full of other sick people and getting sicker

12-11-2015 01:22PM

Eternal: On retainers, i have the removable kind for both upper and lower. I've worn them fairly religiously since i got my teeth straightened many years ago.
At the time they took out teeth to make room for wisdoms so ehh I'd definitely go back and ask

OldNotWIse · 12-11-2015 01:24PM

People who use "big" words to make themselves seem more important. "Purchased" instead of "bought" and "obtain" instead of "get". You don't fool anyone!

Also, my mother insists on saying "boooook" instead of pronouncing it "buck" and it drives me f*cking mad :mad: Book! It's BOOK! Like, COOK and LOOK! For F*CK sake.

But "Book" isn't pronounced "buck", it is supposed to be pronounced like "cook" and "look" which in turn aren't supposed to be pronounced "cuck and "luck".

One of my own pet hates is when people use the word "utilise" instead of "use". A former boss of mine would use it all the time in any correspondence.

I know how it is supposed to be pronounced, hence my post.

Do you honestly pronounce "luck" and "look" differently?
