Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

[Rockburner]

Did some painting last night. Never a good idea when working in the dark with just a bare bulb to light the room as you're always working in your shadow.

This can be evidenced by the big patch I missed under the window which I spotted this morning.

Got exactly that to look forward to this weekend. I hate painting.

The NH fcuking S, hallowed be it’s name!

Bread knife has a skin problem, one symptom of which is an itchy scalp. Not all the time, but when it flares up it drives her insane. She has been prescribed a liquid to put on her head that soothes it, but being female she really REALLY hates ruining the hairdo that cost an arm and a leg 2 days ago. So she uses it frugally, and only when she really needs it, so a bottle lasts a long time. Anyway, it is now almost out, and the condition has flared up, so she wants another bottle. No problem, go online, order a repeat. Easy peasy.

Well not quite, it has aged-off the list of stuff that is regular repeats, but no big deal, system allows a free form request so spell out what is needed and they can check it has been prescribed before. Used that route several times before for stuff that is only needed occasionally.

But not now! Oh no, message back saying fill in this form. Said form requires massive amount of input, name, address, DoB, NHS Number, surgery name, surgery address, what is wanted, why it is wanted, has it been prescribed before, who by, when, what is best number to call you, when are you NOT available for the next 10 days (I kid you not!), etc etc. Mrs is spitting blood by this stage, and her blood pressure is astronomic. Form duly dispatched and a text returns saying “ a GP has assessed your case as not urgent and we will call you within the next 10 days”. So that’s another hurdle for the future. And another 3 weeks before she gets what she needs.

All of this instead of looking up her record, checking that this has been prescribed before, and ticking the appropriate boxes. No fcuking wonder the NHS is running out of money. All this for what is probably a £2 bottle of liquid that she has used carefully for the last 4 years. Next time we will be ordering it regularly, whether we need it or not. I can understand this level of paranoia if she was ordering stuff with a big street value, but AFAIK the kidz are not into topical scalp stuff.

That's what head torches are for...

Brain fade. My memory has always been good, but struggle names.

Couple of days ago I'd a few beers with pals. Only 4 or 5.

Today saw them again. Told them my best pal is coming Wednesday. He was my best man.

They said I'd told them Saturday.

No, you're mistaken.

No. You told us about his stag night at Beverly race course.

Ooooh. A bit fuck.

Hmmm

You should take magnesium L-threonate and magnesium glycinate.

Sodding rain !!!! It's just all the time really isn't it.

Sometimes we'll get a few hours of dry... but it soon kicks in again and the roads, trails, world are once again drowned. I'm getting properly fed up of the endless mud, slop and rain !!!! It feels like it's rained constantly since bloody Sept.

Don't fret, a drought and hosepipe ban will be along shortly.

Only when the government install a 'Minister for floods'.

Absolutely fed up with it too. Supposed to be in Henley for 3 days next week but I do not fancy 3 days in a campervan in the rain.

Count yourself lucky... I've got Sun and Mon in the rain, all day... and the mud.... rainy mud muddy rain

[Yorick]

If it cheers you all up, we've had a lot of rain in last 10 days.

Just waiting for roads to dry to go shopping on the bike.

It doesn't. And you can shove your other 355 sunny days where the...errr...rain cant fall!

Our guests are moving to the other apartment upstairs.

" Jody, which room upstairs is bigger ?"

Well there's not much if anything in it. The one by the stairs has a bath and a TV, the one in the corridor has a big balcony and a better view.

" Yeah, but which ones bigger "

Well there's not much in it, probably best that you go and look at both rooms and decide from there which one you want

" Ohh we've had a look, we're just wondering which one is bigger "

I've rescued a Maligator who spent most of his life in a cage, so he's a bit highly strung, to put it mildly. So I'm lying in bed this morning, peacefully sleeping, dogs all curled up in the kitchen, place is as quiet as a tomb.

And the sodding electric meter starts wailing.

Boom.

Maligator goes nuts, which sets off the other 3 maniacs, I run down to the kitchen to find the Mali on the worktop roaring his head off and three Rottweilers ready to kill dead things, Ziva runs past me, jumps the stair gate at the bottom of the stairs, charges upstairs, jumps the gate at the top and crashes into the bedroom to protect the wife, who's not pleased at 100lb of dog landing on her. Misty gets into the living room and ends up in the bay window barking like something off game of thrones, Bella is trying to get at the meter under the stairs and I'm standing in my boxers trying to get the bloody Mali off the worktop before the kitchen gets trashed.

So much for my bank holiday lie in.

Thanks a lot budget electricity.....

[Skub]

I had to look up 'Maligator'. I imagined a cross between an alligator and Maleficent.

So I was right.

My mate in Holland has a Belgian Malinois. His was taught to be a family pet and that is exactly what it is. Cracking dog but most of his trouble is some of the police and customs officers use them also so folk tend to think they are vicious snarling beasts. Mate called his Pooch and its will slobber you to death with love.

[Bigjawa]

Just had an eye test and ordered new specs.

I have a complex prescription apparently and get the test for free, plus an extra £15 off, but the cost was nearly £350!

For a pair of glasses and one of sunnies.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Mrs D gets NHS complex prescription help too. Always makes me laugh.

Here's a £9 voucher towards your 200 quid glasses

It doesn't help that 50% of images on Google seem to be vicious snarling beasts, many owners seem to be proud of how dangerous their dogs are.

I have 3 Rotts as well. When you walk them, people cross the street. Three of the biggest soft idiots I've ever met.

The Mali is a complete pillock. He was caught raiding the bin tonight......

He's even softer than the Rotts. He's scared of the cat FFS......
