Elder daughter in A&E with a dislocated if not broken finger.

On the plus side her younger sister (6yoa) is with her and sending me text updates - 'f*ck' 'chocolate' 'poo' being my favourites so far.

If you're not leaving a message that is both equally worrying and vague on Facebook now, you're missing a trick my man

And, eh, where would one get one of these books? Just wondering like.

They must be available in most newsagents, they're being advertised on tv. 99p for first issue apparently, not that you'd be buying it or anything.;):D

Imagine this.

Young female, late teens, pregnant ( I think) manky ( I mean manky) PJ's, and the bottoms of the PJ@s are tucked in to Argyle socks. Is this a new thing? The Argyle socks that is.

My TA is that I'm half afraid this is someone I know

More than a trivial annoyance but trying to get an appointment with a doctor.

I think I have tonsillitis. I need an antibiotic ASAP.

Its worse over there.
You have adds before the show. They open the show with a 60 second scene. Then Adds. Then opening credits. Then 10 mins. Then adds. Then 10 mins etc....

People who park right in front of the petrol pumps when they don't actually want fuel, this one did it to me yesterday when all the other pumps were being used.

KatW4

People who refuse to help others with a simple request even though they have everything done for them like lifts to and from work and dinner handed to them every day. Really makes me angry.

People wearing flip flops/ sandals in March. That's bad enough but at a split second glance at the floor their feet look manky. I'm not going to be staring at the feet obviously, but come on have clean feet at least!

Robsweezie

any comments about ''typical men or ''typical women'' don't really sit well with me, especially if they're outdated concepts. I wouldn't let rip at someone for those statements but just feeln kinda quietly annoyed and belittled.

Booty shorts on men, *shudder. Gentlemen, it's great to keep fit, BUT, booty shorts look horrendous on anyone other than a svelte, leggy young woman. A chap ran towards me wearing booty shorts tonight and I almost got a view of more than I wanted to see peeping out of one of the legs of the shorts.:eek:

What's wrong with doing that? Do you have a bath every morning before you go to work or what?

People that knock the plate in the microwave off the rollers and don't fix it after themselves!

Absolute killer alright! I just leave it on bath now. I always forgot to turn the bloody thing off too.

Emm shower every morning and evening and at Sink setting you wouldn't have enough to shave yourself

People who use the word 'literally' wrong on a regular basis. "I couldn't believe it, I literally dropped dead". Well you clearly didn't if you're standing here talking now did you!?

Jamie Redknapp is always at it on Sky Sports too - "The defensive midfielders role in this side is to just literally sit in front of defence and not move from there".

:P

Do you know, I was so sick yesterday I ate half a wrap for lunch. Never thought to have ice cream. That would have helped.

Got a cancelation in the end.

Have tonsillitis and bronchitis. Feckin price of being sick.

Both are awful. My tonsils used to get so badly infected when I was a kid that I'd have convulsions and my parents would have to put me in a bath of tepid water. I had them out and years later when I was a smoker I got a bout of bronchitis. My GP told me they'd grown back. Feel better soon.

That the 'older lady' in one of the ads I'm seeing is probably younger than me

and older lady?

Rubberlegs

It's so irritating when you know someone is having a little dig at you, but they are all smiles, and trying to disguise it with humour. The very same person has this way of looking at me like she is appraising me. The bitch just can't cope with my awesomeness

Pumpkinseeds

Fcukwits who smash glass bottles on foot paths. What is the fricking point of doing something so mindless? I didn't see the glass until I was walking on it the other night and some of it slit the cushion heel on my boots, now the heel is tilting at an angle and the boots are useless.:mad:

I've just been reading that some water protesting group is planning on calling to every house in a particulare city and county to discuss water protests. Seriously, are these people ever going to fcuk off? It's not as if we don't know that they exist and we could hardly be unaware of their protests. Knocking on peoples doors is taking the piss.

There's a charge for that too

"Truck nuts".
I'm all for weird and wonderful vehicle mods (my astra had a pajero roll/altimeter gauge pod on its dash...) but theres something needlessly obscene about hanging a hairy sack off the back of your hitch that just gets me for some reason..


Really pushing the lifted jeep stereotype here...

Ah, I see - in that case my moobs wouldn't qualify as 'older lady' (yet!)

Oh I know exactly what you mean!

And that 'appraising' ugh. I used to work with a woman some years ago, who was dreadful for that. You could be telling her your deepest secrets (except you wouldn't ) and she would ask, where did you get your shoes... Or something like that. She didn't even disguise the fact that she was assessing everyone's appearance, rather than paying them any attention.

I'd say the girl linked-to above is probably "older" than you alright! :pac:
