BFTD Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Incidentally, when my wife first saw a needle deposit box in a disabled toilet, her response was to express surprise that there are that many diabetics among us. Bless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I didn't get put to sleep, i was awake for mines. Fucking hell I get the impression that they had me laid out like yon laddie with the flip-top head from the old toothbrush ads. Kinda glad they didn't give me the option to be awake for that. Although I'm feeling more and more violated as this conversation continues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Found out that a wombat takes up to 2 weeks to fully digest food. What a scunner that would be if you'd forgotten about the vindaloo you had the other week. Sadly saw a dead one amongst the road kill on the drive back from the Riverland to Adelaide earlier today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it you that posted something about seeing dozens of dead kangaroos on a stretch of road? Are you, in fact, the infamous marsupial murderer of Adelaide? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though it's tragic, you get used to seeing road kill on some Australian country roads but I've never seen as much as on this trip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The correct thing to do would have been to dispose of it in a sharps bin......but on the assumption that option wasn't available I'll let you off. I saw it and told the mrs as we were walking off then we both were like "We should do something about it surely?" then walked back and put it in the bin ensuring i didn't touch the needle end. Would it definitely have been used for heroin or could it have been to do with diabetes? Was hard to tell from one glance and i didn't take a picture. It was on bonnington road so i would have said heroin was the most likely. Good deed done for the day and now having a beer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly don't just drop them in the street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pain has went away a bit today. So will just need to man up and get on with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah your right, was disgusting to see i don't think i have ever seen a dirty needle just lying about willy nilly, a child or a dog could easily have picked it up its in a pretty public place so think i did the right thing. Doubt i would ever take heroin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 My kids are watching 'Grandpa in my Pocket' on CBeebies. For those who don't know, its a programme staring James Bolam as Grandpa. Everyone loves Grandpa and he has magical powers to shrink when he wears his hat. Once he is shrunk he can drive toy cars and fly model airplanes. I have to admit to being rather skeptical that he can achieve this by driving a toy car with no engine however. Not for the first time in recent weeks, the BBC will be questioned over the authenticity of their output I am sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeebus - I'd have thought a kangaroo would take the car out too Are they tasty? We had some Kangaroo steaks a while back ("farmed in Germany ), but I can't remember a thing about them. And I'm guessing that Teutonic Roo wouldn't be a patch on something cooked up by a tough, burly backpacker murderer denizen of the magnificent Antipodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt i would ever take heroin I'm guessing the bin guys expect (and find) needles in pretty much everything, so you still get good guy points. Hopefully the wife was suitably appreciative. Can I have your share of the heroin if my appendix bursts again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Just did the shopping, and I was genuinely stunned to see that the Christmas puddings are out, to the point that I had to spend a few seconds working out what month it was in my head. I'm not complaining, I'm just amazed at how feeble my brain is these days On the plus side, the mini-stollen are back in at Lidl. Thinking of changing my username to 'BigMorbidlyObeseTabbyDave'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is the needle and syringe was right next to a biffa bin - surely if your that close to one you will just put it in the bin after injection rather than leave it on the road? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but think about how many times you've seen people drop litter right next to a bin. Some folk just seem to take prompts to thoughtful behaviour as a challenge. And if you're injecting smack, I doubt community safety is high on your list of priorities 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you're injecting smack, I doubt community safety is high on your list of priorities I agree but its just weird someone would take it and then get so close to the bin and then miss it, either that or they were hiding beside the bin. I would love to know but i don't think i will ever find out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably thought about putting it in the bin, then worried about the bin men getting hurt like any decent person would. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
