General Discussion Area / If you catch the flu this season.....
« on: 05 December 2022, 09:05:04 »
.....watch out!
I have been in bed since Thursday evening and I still feel bad. Different bad since Thursday, but still bad. Started with a sore windpipe at teatime and, by nine o'clock was in full blown high temperature delirium mode. Constantly coughing, no idea what time/day it was. Friday is gone from my memory. Mo went to work (she has to) and the next time I remember seeing her was when I asked for some toast for breakfast and she told me it was seven o'clock Friday evening, not Saturday morning. She had cleaned the bathroom where I thought I had been for a pee but obviously lost my bearings
Coughing continued Saturday, until my rib cage was constantly painful but, all in all, a better day with lower temperature and able to eat stuff I fancied. Cakes, ginsters pasty, etc. Yesterday, I thought I was getting better and was making plans for today. Mo said I was an idiot (not for the first time) and that younger, fitter people at work were going down for a week with it and still looked like shit when they came back.
Had a strange, nightmarish night last night and today is the scariest day so far. Every half hour or so, the room starts spinning, my whole body tingles and I feel sick. Could do with someone to hold my hand
I am a worrier, and I have things to do and people relying on me to do the day to day menial tasks like shopping and cooking, but I can't. So now I feel guilty as well as ill.
If you catch it, look after yourself. It probably won't kill you, but it feels like it might.

General Discussion Area / Football matches now subject to wokeism
« on: 01 December 2022, 17:41:46 »
Saturday afternoon, home game, few pints beforehand, call the ref a fat bastard and sing 'Who ate all the pies?, abuse the opposition, etc.
But whatever you do, don't catcall a female trainer who comes on to attend to an injured player, as happened at Barnsley. Or you'll cop for this lot:
"The club have been given an action plan by the FA which must be implemented by 31 December and will remain in place for the remainder of the 2022-23 season.
This includes conducting a full review of stewarding provisions and deployments, develop proactive supporter initiatives to address the potential for discriminatory supporter behaviour and deliver an appropriate diversity and education programme in association with the local authorities".
It's a football match FFS

General Discussion Area / Anniversary meal
« on: 28 November 2022, 19:27:48 »
It's our anniversary today and, as it's a school day (literally ), I said I would cook something for when she got home. I asked her what she wanted and she said she really, really fancied a lamb roast dinner. Ok, no probs, and for pudding? Hot chocolate fudge cake with double cream. Easy.
Went to Asda this morning to get the bits, thought I'd start with the lamb. They had no half legs, just two full ones. Now, you can call me tight, and I know it's our anniversary and all, but I am not paying £28.50 for a leg of lamb. They can wedge it.
So she got lamb chops instead, £8 for 8.
Cue all the jibes about me being a big, romantic softie......not

General Discussion Area / Rotherham CSE exploitation investigations
« on: 25 November 2022, 15:48:19 »
Still going on. Hundreds of children sexually assaulted by Asian men in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Police and social workers ignored the problem for fear of being seen as racist.
Well.......let's all forget about that, and have a jolly good time celebrating art and, erm, culture?

General Discussion Area / The NHS discussion has started
« on: 21 November 2022, 07:09:41 »
In Scotland, not England, and in a hushed-up, secretive sort of way, but they have started. Of course, it will be categorically denied that these kind of measures will ever be implemented, but the fact that they have even been mentioned shows just how bad things are becoming. In my opinion, it's time for a change, something's got to give and it's good that people are realising this.

General Discussion Area / Truss' speech
« on: 05 October 2022, 13:13:34 »
I thought Liz did really well in her speech at conference, only heckled by two stupid green bints. The audience seemed to be right behind her, which, I much admit, is surprising. I like her, maybe not because she will be the one to lead the country out of the shit we are in, but because I believe that she believes. Boris was good at talking, but his agenda depended on who he'd spoken to last. I think Liz will try to stick to her agenda. That all depends on how many self interested back stabbers crawl out from under their rocks.
The BBC, of course, will focus on the couple of minutes of protest, but that's because they are a bunch of Marxists.

At last. I reckon there'll be a lot more charged over this one.

General Discussion Area / Words that make you cringe
« on: 28 September 2022, 21:17:38 »
There are certain words that conjure up horrific images in your mind. I was watching a hospital programme on telly earlier and there was a fella who's big dog had made a break for it, while he had the lead over his hand and around his wrist. He was 'de-gloved' on one hand. De-gloved....yuk 🫢🤢🤮
