Junk mail! Especially the stuff from Virgin media, that comes several times a week and gets stuck behind the front door.
If I wanted your offers of phone and t v, Mr Branson I would have accepted by now so stop cluttering my hallway.

My brother in law has a perfect way of dealing with this. Collect a bag of the stuff. Then fill their prepaid envelopes with any junk mail to hand. Preferably exceeding the cost of the prepaid postage. And send it to them! :D

I have a new one to join all the teenagers and puke.

Hospital drs who know that you were admitted DKA the previous night but still say they think you should go home now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took me a while to read up on the post but I got there in the end. Not been a well bunny so typing from my hospital bed (at least it is still for the moment)

Can we add the one who sent me home with pneumonia, despite the arguments of the triage doc in A&E at 2am in the morning, because I had no temperature, even though I had been drifting in and out of consciousness and sent me to the cashpoint before issuing the antibiotics I needed. The rubbish doc at our surgery had stopped them 4 days before saying I was clear. In fact my left lung was still full of the stuff!

Everyone's children from the age of 4 to 18 (now mine are grown up). We could employ everyone as child catchers. Escalating reward scale the more you hand in.

Noooooo!!!!!!!! Mine are not grown up yet! Also I would be out of a job! But I'm willing to compromise. All the really unpleasant ones can go!

No worries. I stupidly fell off a rope swing in the woods messing about with my kids last Tuesday. Managed to dislocate and fracture my left ankle. 2 surgeries later and they discharge me Friday. Start being sick Saturday, back in hospital Sunday with DKA. Ta da!!!!

I'm not really having a good week ;)

PS never give up cos you never know what amazing things are just around the corner xxxx

Yes fast tracked in.

No you are not! Mr Scandi has banned me from watching Wallander if it's the English one with Kenneth Brannaugh. As I type this, I can feel my bs rising. For crying out loud they even mispronounce his name. W is pronounced as a v in Swedish! It's not hard! There are loads of pronunciation errors, despite it being filmed in Sweden and they pronounce the town where the character lives as if it were a town in Germany. Then they change parts of the story! Grrrr! And it's so mind numbingly boring! So I vote for Kenneth and his proxy badly acted, boring tv series. Not the Swedish version. Especially the one with Krister Henriksson who is the best Wallander ever!

English 'Vallander' in.

...I'd love to chuck in Russell Brand, eeks, even typing his name makes me grrrrrrrrrr.....would probably have to throw him in more than once as his brains are made of rubber and he'd bounce back out....:mad:

Yes, I would even stand guard and kick him back in every time his smirking face reappeared.

But the parents of the obnoxious ones should be first in the queue

No, because, perversely she is good for you

How! She is a parent at our school. To my horror. Although I don't teach her child. Thank God! Although if I saw dn in car park might be tempted to reverse if I accidentally hit her to make sure I'd done the job properly! I'd be doing the diabetic community a favour as she wouldn't be able to inflict her duff advice on others and deny them meters as type 2 all need to eat the eat well plate and let the meds work. Ha, ha, ha.

She is good for YOU, because she won't see you, so is not making you angry every time you have a blood test , etc.
What I mean is, you are lucky not to have to see her!

He looks mature enough for the 'Santa isn't real' type of conversation, but I am just going off to the 101 holding area to reflect as it was not my place to be telling him.

Telling a dog his poo isn't special is one thing, but spreading lies about Santa is unforgivable!

I know, I know,
But after several near misses to room 101. I am a reformed character.
 
Those web sites who are not happy with the password that I choose. "Got to have numbers in it", "Got to have capitals in it" etc. When I eventually find a password that is acceptable it is one I will never be able to remember.

If the web site knows so much then why don't they supply the password so that I can never log on successfully.
 
I would like to nominate parents who let their children come charging over to my dog without any regard to whether my dog is going to enjoy this experience.

"Oh, you're offended that my dog barked at your child? Maybe the child shouldn't have tried to shove it's arm up to the elbow in my dogs ear and then run off with the dogs ball!"

I overheard a mother tell her child that I wasn't a very nice man the other day. My crime? Sick to death of hearing the woman shouting from across the park "Josie say hello to the wow wow" "Josie stroke the wow wow" "Josie throw the ball for the wow wow" "Josie tell the wow wow to drop the ball", I decided to leave with the wow wow and the child burst into tears! At least have the decency to come over and ask if it's ok!

Hmmm evidence would suggest otherwise, but as I have no wish to join Mr Pipp and Mr Satindoll in the grumpy husband holding area I'm forced to agree

Yes. It is the parents every time if the children are small. If we remove the bad ones early enough the kids have a chance to be considerate citizens, just like those who post on this thread.
