You mean, they can speak? I usually just get a grunt if I use the Co-op I think you are referring to.

I haven't even got a grunt these past few times I've called in. Seems like the older women (and one particular bit younger one) can only speak to each other .

Hubby wanted to call in tonight on our short walk when he got home . Nice new young girl served us that time. But the 2 tomatoes and a carrot he bought for his tea went on the scales with the additional weight of a pen and numerous other bits and bobs :roll: . By then I was feeling rather ill and couldn't be @rsed to point it out.

She's read the messages on here about the arsey staff, & now holds her fingers down on the scale on every item she weighs... She'll be squeezing your bread & leaving finger marks in it next! :heyhey:

Everybody knows Physiotherapists are demons born out of hell. I've done quite a bit of time with them over the years, this quote should explain it all .. (SGI physio dept, down the side, also known as Mordor.)

"Oh a biker with a knee injury .. I luv those, we'll soon get that f****** knee to bend …. "

Creak … creak …. squelch …. BANG !!! …. AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGH !! :o

"Do that every day and we'll soon have you running."

Yeah … running as far away from here as it's possible to get … :eek:

(They did fix things though. :roll:)

That takes me back a few years ...... cup of fat sitting setting on parents kitchen windowsill , brown jellified stuff at bottom and lovely white stuff on top to put on white bread (delivered by the breadman in those days) . Not at all healthy , but rather yummy ! (And my parents lived til their eighties, so they did well on it....)

Kidneys on toast !! (Known at sea as 'shit on a raft.')

I'm not a fussy eater .. I'll never be a gourmet because I regard food as fuel and nothing more .. but I could never get the hang of kidneys and liver. (This should also include tripe, which my Dad boiled with much gusto that set all of Sheridan Street into uproar !!) :eek:

Never tried tripe. But as a kid when I had to stay with relatives in Bucknall while mum was in Groundslow hospital for months, they kept buying it and unsuccessfully trying to feed it to me. :barf: Everytime I think of Bucknall now, as well as the musty prefabs they lived in, my main memory is Tripe hanging outside the butchers shop on hooks :o

My Dad used make his own brawn. Manys a time we'd come home from school and the Baby Burco would be bubblin it's backside off, you'd lift the lit to see what mum was boiling to be met with a pigs head. Makes me feel sick at the thought of it now.

The farm animals had less antibiotics, other drugs, stress and polution, in the olden days

Glass jars were green

With marbles in

And window sills were not made of UVPC it were solid dead tree

We used to dream of solid dead tree

Sometimes we'd read about it in the fluffy dead tree

Just before we cleaned our ( botox free ) Arses with it

Had an amazing night last night at The Strictly Come Dancing live show in Birmingham.
I bought the tickets literally the second they went on sale and managed to get front row dance-floor seats right in the middle.
The show was amazing and because of where we were sitting we could see the dancers right up close, just feet away.
Wow, Kelvins hips!!

If anyone else is going to see this then you are in for a treat.

I had a minor operation on Friday and was given general anesthesia.

Upon wakening I was given the best news!

For the next 24 hours not only was I unable to drive, operate heavy machinery or sign any legal documents but I was also BANNED from using the kettle and other cooking equipment!

It ACTUALLY said kettle!!!

I even got the nurse to read it to my husband!

I've been livings the sweet sweet life for the last 24 hours!!

Hope you are a ok regardless of kettle use (that's the funniest thing ever!, wouldn't a deep fat fryer be more dangerous?) xxx big hug from all of us x

Thank you xxx

I would like to say I'm fine but here I am at 2.20am not feeling great!

Husband has abandoned ship and went out with his dad last night - although I do feel I made the absolute most of my kettle ban!

Hi all, quite some time ago there was a post regarding personal online security along the line of how long it would take to actually locate a person dependant upon how much online activity they have. Does anyone remember?
Poster may have have been @Tilly in the John Marwood days.
