    Is it just me or are people getting sicker more often these last few years?

    People telling other people on the internet to go straight to A&E when said people are stupid enough to ask for medical advice about there children online.

    “My Jemima has a headache what should I do?”
    “Straight to A&E pet that could be serious hun”

    Jemimas ma then comes back 10 hours later and complains that she’s still not been seen and the health system is a joke

    I have an awful habit of picking at and pulling off hangnails whenever they develop.

    Of course, it results in a sore finger for a couple of days, like the one I have now whereby I forget how sensitive it is and everything I touch with it is a sharp pain. Ouch.

    It just fells like I am bullying him but my role is to make sure things are done proper and in order.

    A girl I know has a son who is about 8/9, last summer he fell off his trampoline and hurt his arm.
    She and her partner both drive but they still called an ambulance to bring him to A+E. He wasn't unconscious or anything, and it turned out to be a bad sprain.

    Ambulances are supposed to be for urgent life or death emergencies. Not broken bones & sprains. No wonder the system is under so much pressure with idiots like that out there.
    Unless your broken bone is breaking the skin, you probably don't need an ambulance.

    Imagine if everyone who's child fell off a trampoline called ambulances instead of bringing them to hospital :rolleyes:

    They call an ambulance because they think it gets them to the top of the queue in A&E. It doesn't.

    To be fair, some people just don't know this stuff and panic in situations like this.

    Well, the lid of the kettle flipped up as it was boiling and gob****e here didn't even think, I just put my elbow on the lid to push it down again and burnt it. Yes, I am in need of a Darwin award.

    I know some people who work in delis around Galway and they'd often be asked to make a hang sangwich instead of a ham sandwich. Oh and crumbled ham is very popular as well.

    My little lad cut his chin in Germany that required 2 or 3 stitches. The locals were going to call him an ambulance but I took him in the car. Maybe that is the done thing in countries with normal health services??

    We left A&E stitched and bandaged up 25 mins after arriving at the hospital.

    Have a flood in the basement, 3rd in 3 years and the water gets in a different way each time. I'm a glass half full kind of fella though, so appreciating that its an excuse to work from home

    Tipping.

    Had it Saturday. Our connecting train was cancelled so had to get off at an earlier stop and get a taxi home. Came to £25.20 which I was pissed off about as my I had a return ticket.

    Now, I had the exact cash on me and handed Mr Iqbal the £25.20 in cash.

    Wife says 20 mins later: "Did you tip the taximan?"

    No I fcuking well didnt. Why should I? The fare said £25.20 and that is what I paid him. Do you think he is putting it on his tax return? He only accepts cash.

    I don't tip the cashier when I am Tesco so what the fcuk is this bull****. Sure if the fare came to £28.00 I would have handed him £30.00 and told him to keep the change if I was in a good mood.

    And anyone who says I am being tight can fcuk right off too.

    Where are people on the whole scone pronunciation?

    Option A- Scone as in 'gone'.

    Option B Scone as in 'stone'.

    Personally I am an Option B.

    Living with other people - in general. Huge TA.

    Lived with a female housemate once, who thought nothing of using the dryer for a handful of stuff that could have air dryed just as well.

    No wonder the bill was through the roof with trivial drying, knickers and a tea towel rattling around in the dryer for an hour kind of thing.
