Being unwell, Was diagnosed with Whooping cough 3 months ago that has completely knackered my immune system so ive been shifting from illness to illness(colds, flus, chest infections etc) without much of a break in between. Absolutely fed up of it at this point

I've been unwell for over 3 weeks and really should go see the doctor.

Reading your post has now given me the fear

Doc's are pretty stumped tho, the Whooping cough knackering my immune system is the best theory they got, ive had chest x rays, several blood works and im seemingly in good health, my white count etc is all good, thyroid etc. Ive had my Cold/Flu immunization and still gotten sick!

My ex had a similar issue during her final year at uni, also with whooping cough. Got it in October and was pretty much gubbed until April. It seemed that her immune system was working so hard against the whooping cough that every other minor illness was just knocking her out.

A bit like Div working so hard to keep Swampy out that Grim, 8Mile, PB and Magee keep sneaking back in.

She's still with us. When I say us, I mean someone else, the poor b*****d.

People at airport security who pick their stuff out of the trays and leave them sitting there to pile up until someone (me) gathers them up and puts them away so that my tray can actually get out of the machine.

Yet another example of how people, in general, are complete and utter c***s.

My PTTGOMN for this evening: Maris Piper potatoes. Utterly shite. They turn into mush if you look at them the wrong way.

That's the point of them, isn't it?  A quick par boil....coat them in butter/olive oil then roast at a high temp until crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle?

Waxy tatties are great for boiling but useless for mashing or roasting.

Just a daft thing but my work now covers three boroughs rather than just one and we stil haven't learnt/figured out the best number for folk calling for the new boroughs when they're really vague (ie: I don't know the exact ward that deals with mental health assesment at Chase Farm Hospital but I know it's in the Chase Building. If they were to ask for a specific ward by name I'd be fine but with vague ass pish like that I aint sure).

So, I explain to the caller, that I'm not 100% sure where to put them so I'll put them through to the reception in the general area they need to go and they end up calling me back two minutes later because the lazy arse fucker in the reception I put them through to has gave them my number back because putting them through somewhere "isn't their job"

f**k sake hen. It takes ye more time to read out the number to send them back here than it does to patch them through to the correct place.

The last few times I've been in an airport, I've found myself stuck behind some arsehole taking 10 minutes put their things into the wee tray. Earlier this year, at Edinburgh airport (I think), there were designated sub-queues in each queue for the security bit (i.e. you have to wait on one specific person to go through before you can start) and the daft c**t in front of me was there for ages, loading her stuff onto the conveyer belt or in a wee tray.

Most people just have to take off their belt, watch, phone, keys, money and passport and sometimes shoes. Not this b*****d, she needlessly took individual items out of her bag to put them in the tray. It pissed me off so much I think it slightly ruined a good holiday.

What boils my piss at airports more than anything else are the fucking fannies at the luggage carousel who crowd around it and stand about an inch from the belt as soon as they get there, wait for their case and block the way for everyone else. It's dead fucking simple. Stand about 6 feet back and watch for your case, then step forward to collect it when you see it and get the f**k out of the way. This allows everyone to get their case unobstructed and clear the area. Genuinely seething every time I'm in an airport at this and I wish these people dead.

The worst thing about going through airport security is the puddle drinkers that, once their stuff has been through the x ray machine, stand and put their shoes/belt back on and gather up their stuff at the conveyor belt.  They handily provide a wee table for you to do it not 3 feet away.  Pick your tray up, go over there and get out of the f*cking way.

Yes. This too. I hate people in airports. There's also the reprobates who stand with their nose two inches from the gate as soon as the flight gets called if it's one with no allocated seating. Arseholes.

The same types who generally are in one of the first 5 rows, and hold up the entire plane from boarding while they play the hokey-cokey with their overhead locker.

And then do the same in reverse when it's time to get off again at the other end.

Yes, this too. I'm getting angry just thinking about this. It's almost as though when the majority of people step into an airport they lose all common sense.

I always get taken aside and frisked at these X-ray things. Depending on the security person it can be quite pleasant as it's like getting a wee massage before your flight.

When I was away with my pals earlier this year I realised how bad some people were. 5 of us stood back and the other one from our group went and passed the bags up to us, there was a family that had spread themselves around the carousel and were randomly grabbing cases before throwing them back on when they figured out it wasn't theirs.

You can add the punters who are that special kind of selfish that lets them decide that having a kid who's clearly too young to travel long distances isn't going to get in the way of what they want to do holiday-wise that year.

Flights to Florida are terrible for that, and it's not the kids' fault, more the arsehole parents who want to go there and think it's acceptable to inflict a freaked-out screaming baby or bored toddler on 350 people in a steel tube for 8 hours.

If the kid's much less than three, it's not like he or she's going to remember their first trip to Disney, so why not wait till then?

People are utter morons at airports. However, I also hate the way we're herded through then like cattle and the barn-like roof work that the likes of Edinburgh have created for security. The whole thing boils my piss up until i can get a vastly overpriced all day breakfast.

Aberdeen is alright to be fair, the staff seem friendly and Edinburgh isn't far behind. Gatwick though...Gatwick is a vacuum of intelligence, manners and general thinking. It's probably the worst place in the UK full stop.
