Bairnardo Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Add me to this fucking thread. The wife isn’t going to see her old man this week after all. I’m fucking livid. Ha! I have had this in relation to next weekend when the missus was meant to be going away on a Hen do (shudder) for one of her old school pals. Away to some spa thing for the weekend, leaving me with my choice of fitba and the hoose to myself upon my return after a few pints in the evening, then Sunday in the garden to myself. Turns out there's been trouble in paradise, so the wedding's off, so the Hen do got cancelled, along with my weekend-long empty. I am fucking devastated and furious at whichever one of those two p***ks fucked up their engagement.Sorry lads, but GIRFUY on a purely "If I can't have it I don't want anyone else to have it" basis. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My weekend has gone from a probable trip to Annan v Elgin followed by a nice trip to our wee local pub once I get home to, 'That means we can go Rob and Kathryn's for their wee boy's birthday'. f**k you. f**k you. And f**k those formerly-engaged p***ks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan was to take them both to Edinburgh Airport drop bairn at airport and then John Player Special was going to tram it into Edinburgh then get the bus to Glasgow etc. I meanwhile was going to hotfoot it back up the road and stop in by to see Sarah and do the needful. Fucking ruined. Absolutely raging. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Headsgone for me on numerous counts this weekend: It's too fucking hot We're looking after my OH's pal's hamster while they're on holiday. Had it a week and it's fucked with wet-tail meaning a doubtless expensive trip to the vets which will also burn an hour or two of flexitime It's far too fucking hot My sister is trying to guilt trip me into basically taking a day off work, to pick her and my mum up at 2am to drive them to Edinburgh airport because she's scared of roads she doesn't know. f**k that shit. It's too hot. Get this pish tae f**k and proceed straight to early autumn please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Wet tail is a very serious disease in hamsters that unfortunately has a high mortality rate even when caught early and treated. “Wet Tail”, named from the obvious sign of wetness around the rear end and tail of the hamster from diarrhea, comes from a bacterial infection that is generally brought on by stress". Probably the hot weather to blame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty horrendous way for the wee buggers to go, but if early enough I think antibiotics can sort it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always seemed to go of old age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is pretty much the ideal way to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are buried in our pets' cemetery, aka the back garden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Pet Cemetary was next door's garden before they moved in - probably around 10-12 cats there. Luckily they concreted over the whole area. Now we have to use the garden of the house opposite (currently empty) - a good 9 or 10 there. I am not cat killer b.t.w. - we have 3 wild cats as "pets" (an oxymoron I know) and 2 are female who give birth to at least 2-3 litters a year and 3-4 kittens each time. in the past 3 months we've had 7 kittens and only 1 is still with us - no idea where 5 of them went. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in SE Asia when i was wee. My sister's friends kitten didn't come in when called one night. In the morning there was a five foot cobra basking on the drive with a kitten sized bulge in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my week planned - all the food I like but she doesn't, the booze, the football, the TV. But until she is actually there I have this sinking feeling that it'll all get cancelled at the last minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have many snakes around as it's pretty built-up and few trees - a few were run over as they love sleeping in the undercarriage and don't make it out in time. 3 or 4 were victims of the drains. A couple were killed by other cats. A good few were victims of being abandoned by the mothers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
