I was panicking there as I've just spewed up red stuff, but been slowly trying to put some Lucozade down me.

Had to send the youngest one to my Mum's, the two of them wouldn't stop fighting and I'm in a right fucking nick.

Strangely enough I was in the exact same state yesterday. Couldn't keep anything down. Gave up at 5pm and went to bed. Sick on a Saturday? What are the odds?

Feeling a good bit better now, still to attempt eating something though. 

Thank god you're both well enough to use P&B though.

I have a colleague who is currently going through a phase of putting *Read me* and the start of the subject line in every e-mail they send.

WTF do they think we're going to do with an e-mail?


Yeah pretty sure I've mentioned a similar idiot at my work doing that. I deliberately ignore it.

Guy I used to work beside took a day off once but was ill. When he came back he tried to cancel the day off and claim it as sick leave instead. The boss would have told him to take a running jump but as the guy had an artificial leg he was a bit more diplomatic about it.

Why shouldn't he be allowed it back? Not his fault he was ill.

Never done it myself but you get holidays back in my place if you can provide a doctor's line.

Car adverts on TV. Every one shows a new car driving along a stretch of motorway or country road in nice weather with no other traffic around. You never see them advertise a car that is sitting in a three mile traffic jam due to roadworks in the pissing rain which is a lot more realistic.

Big Fat Tabby Dave , were you in the BHF shop in Alloa on Friday?

I was indeed.

I'm dreading what's coming now, considering we're on the PTTGOYN. Did I give you a dirty fiver or something?  :mellow:

Or avoiding the millions of shite drivers out there and foreigners who think they're still driving  back home.

Took the kids to Edinburgh Zoo yesterday.  Anyone that has been and used the car park will be familiar with the fact that the entrance is on a fairly steep hill.  There was a car in front paying to get in and I pulled up behind.  As she's going to pull away I can see her talking to the boy and gesturing back at me.  He comes back and says that she's worried that she'll roll back into me and could I move back.  I've left loads of space, but as there is nothing behind me I roll back a bit.  She then starts trying to pull away, engine fucking howling and as soon as she releases the handbrake starts rolling back towards me.

There's now a couple of cars behind me and she's telling the boy that I need to move back more.  He's very apologetic and I can move back a bit, but not much as the queue of traffic is now about 6 or 7 cars long.  Same thing happens and she rolls back towards me again.  He's now asking everyone to move back, but I've pointed out that she's had two goes that this and moved back about 20 feet, and would she like us to reverse right back out onto Corstorphine Road to give her a proper run at it?

Luckily there is enough room for me to bounce up onto the pavement and get round her and into the car park.  I've already shown the boy my parking pass so decide I'm not fucking about any longer.  The look that she gave me as I drove up by her was priceless, as if i'm at fault for either;

a: Her driving a piece of shit with a burnt out clutch

or

b: Her being utterly incapable of performing a hill start and being unsafe to be on the road.

It was a bit, we're getting a new car in a week or so and this one is being traded in, the last thing I need is some daft arsehole reversing into it.

When I was selling my last motor I had a woman reverse into the side of it.

Had it parked outside my mates house and some mental bint reversed out her drive and right into the side of my car.

To be fair to her she could very easily have fled the scene as I was inside my mates house and didn't even hear her.

I had only just paid for a wax job to take away minor scratches too.

They gave me a crappy Peugeot as a courtesy car too. Thing sounded like an aircraft.

To make things worse the woman had her car picked up by the garage and returned fixed before mine even got collected. I was raging.
