    Not happy. My friend made me ruin my ninth day yesterday - she called me and said she had been taken to hospital with a broken wrist and could I collect her and take her home.

    £7 for a taxi.

    Gah!

    Your friend called you...to come to the hospital...and take her home in a taxi...which you had to pay for?
    Why didn't she just get a taxi home herself? Or have I missed something, being a bloke like?

    She fell over at work, work took her to hospital, but then she couldnt get on public transport as she was really drowsy and worried she'd fall over or something so i went to take her home in a taxi. I offered to pay, good friend thing. Then when i got her home i made her some tea... she fell asleep on the sofa about eightish bless her... :rotfl:
