Is the Dr married? At least you will know something when you get the blood results.

Photos of her perfect family on the desk- however what with my reputation with married women in the past.......
I think its the first time I've seen a Dr who without a shadow of doubt was a lot younger than me. Last night a Police women came in the pizza shop and she looked about 12. God I feel old, my body is starting to stop working, I am off to watch MTV for a Cheryl Cole video to make sure the vital "bit" is still working.:cool:

Another 680 jobs gone at work today. Got told this morning of an announcement this afternoon. Everyone in the office winding everyone else up until it reached such a frenzy one lay was almost in tears with worry. Now i didn't bother to jump on the rumour mill as I knew there would be no effect on out department and fortunately I was right. A close shave all the same though.

Just got paid £68 for 12 hours work but spent £50 in fuel to get it. £50 would last me 3 months normally, there is no way I am doing this any more and the next time I work I am definitely going to quit this time.
Bored of drinking orange squash now so have started to mix it with summer berries- cordial cocktails- why didn't I think of this sooner.

Your car is eating £160 a month - is there any way you can do without it?

I use it for a p/t job delivering pizza- normally i would only do about 30 miles a week. but over the last 2 weeks in effect have been paid £18 for 12 hours work.

Being a man of a certain age (or having the prostate of a 50 year old according to my Dr, and you don't want to know how he found that out) ....

......aren't the staff miserable on a Saturday morning and why do the blue rinse set have to take everything back for a refunds at 9.10am when I am trying to buy one fitted valance ?

Jim,
I'm guessing the answer to the first question isn't that he looked at your passport!!

Isn't this Sod's law.
It's the same reason why the guy infront of me at the petrol station spent forever on the nearest pump leaving the one infront inaccessible, then changed his mind and went to the one infront.

It's the same reason when having run out of petrol and got a taxi back to the petrol station next to your workplace (a particularly dense day) you have to buy the petrol can first, queue behind the relaxed guy paying in 2ps and green shield stamps and then go out again, fill it up and get stuck behind the person who can't decide what chocolate they want with their petrol.

It's the same reason ALL the pensioners come out to do their food shop in your lunch hour and then complain about how everyone's in a rush.

Alanis Morisette called it Ironic, more bloody mindedness I think.

B

p.s. Glad you're feeling better

Dont get me started ! (what follows is very much tongue in cheek)
Never queue at a cash machine behind a lady they take forever, cross the road and walk to the next one. Never queue behind one in McDonalds- its impossible for them to order off the menu as it comes. Petrol stations- after paying why is it impossible for the female of the species to get in her car and promptly drive away?
I swear all shops should have special tills for blokes who just want to pay and go- no searching at the bottom of a bag for a nectar card etc. Right change from pockets, place on counter, no need for a bag or a receipt and then exit the premises.
Finally, in the supermarket after clearing the checkout don't dawdle with your trolley whilst checking every s0dding item on the receipt whilst blocking the exit- I am in a rush, I have the new series of 24 to watch- get out of my way-man coming through !
Goodnight all rant over.

So how was the lovely doctor today?!

I am a girl (or should I call myself a woman? I'm 34 but still don't feel grown up enough to be classed as a woman!) and I always have my nectar card in my pocket ready to hand over! And then I put it and the receipt straight in one of the bags and sort it all out when I get home.

And I always order straight off the menu in MaccyD's!

I share your frustrations Jim! I think these people who faff about should only be allowed out for 1 hour a day - then at least we could avoid the shops for that hour!:)

hello! i'm going to be boring now, since this is the mse site!;) i would never pay for anything without trying to use a loyalty card PLUS checking my receipt!?

in asda if they overcharge you (it was about 7p last time:D), they give you a £2 giftcard!

in tesco, if they overcharge then it's double the difference. after telling you they still take ANY coupons, that was a blip - they don't anymore! i was gutted yesterday, BUT the DTD made up for it. i was overcharged on apples (refund 44p) and then realised they had charged me £1.00 for some reduced 5p bubblewarp (£1.90 refund-wahoo!).

anyway, hope you are doin ok?

p.s. always order my egg mcmuffins and fillet-o-fish's without the cheese - it's horrid anyway and adds 4g fat!
