Random Irritations

I’m definitely not taking the wife now 😂😂

The wife picked it, Brian, she liked a couple of things on the menue, Prices of the wine were so over the top.

tiny portions, for the cost £15 for the Scallops starter..... but in reality it should say Scallop as there was only one:LOL:
 
Sat in A&E and now radiology for five hours today so far, waiting to find out what’s wrong with my girlfriend. So far they think it’s kidney stones but not sure yet. I was at the GP this am having tests to rule out asthma, which were all clear.

And it’s our two year anniversary.

My battery’s nearly dead.

Hope all is well mate 👍

Amazed at the range of services you can get on the NHS these days :unsure:
 
Had to go to head office for a 3 hour training on some new project management software. Advised to bring our laptops as we were told we'd need them. Mine normally stays on my desk, so I unhook the charger from round the back, shove that and laptop into my bag, lug it over there. Never used it once in the session, we were just watching a screen the whole time. Then had to carry it home and will have to carry in tomorrow as well, weighing my bag down for absolutely no reason.

She has my sympathy. I had one of those a couple of years ago and I was amazed how much agony a tiny stone can cause. First time it hit me I was half a mile from home and had to stop the car as I couldn't even drive safely that distance. My missus was worried as I don't let these things worry and said to the doctor when I was explaining the pain that "you're talking to a man with a high pain threshold". I eventually passed mine in Morrisons in East Kilbride. A shame really, I wanted to catch and keep it.
 
She has my utmost sympathy.
I've had them regularly for the last 40 years and even had to have surgery a few years ago.
It's the most painful thing I've ever experienced.
Morphine suppositories are the way forward! Killed the pain in 30 seconds .................................. but only for a while!
Water, water and more water, then, with a bit of luck, she'll pass it/them.
Wishing her well. (y)
 
Cheers folks. She’s on the mend but she’s not a fan of the codeine high at all. She’s spending a lot of time sleeping it off. It means I get to play a lot of Xbox...
 
Today’s irritant...

A girl I know posted on Facebook about how awesome Roald Dahl was. I replied to try and point out some of his lesser traits and both her and her boyfriend kicked off at me. Eh?

This is a man who bullied his ex wife and said things like, “Hitler wouldn’t have done what he did to the Jews for no reason.”

His stories are pretty sick and he hated children.

Or, he wrote brilliant books that have inspired children to read for generations and still stand the test of time.

Enid Blyton, whimsical story teller or sexist and racist?

Why not just let it go?

Because the girl in question is quite the social justice warrior and I know it’s out of character for her to be ok with someone like that.

Same with Enid Blyton!
