Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Started watching 'Crime', a series based on Irvine Welsh's books. That fucking accent. Far, far worse than the Glasweigan accent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about nail varnish being a problem ...Mrs S&V occasionally does it and I'm not bothered. These claws that some folk stick on to their nails like artificial talons are different ... they give me the creeps. Nail varnish on long natural nails lifts this particular poster's kilt. Those weird gel things with stripes and sparkly things however, have to opposite effect. Especially when the grow out a bit. ETA- the winner though in the "how can they think that's nice?" stakes is painted on dark eyebrows.

BFTD Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 The eyebrow thing is bizarre. I've had more than a few conversations with lassies where all I can focus on is the strange squiggles they've drawn above their eyes. Eyebrows are useful things. Must be a scunner when the sweat runs straight into their eyes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this may mark me as OFTW, but my toenails are currently painted gold . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wouldn't be so keen with a fat hairy middle-aged walloper, right enough. Will see how I get on and report back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 This is probably more "things that make you want to wreck the place" type thing but whatever. GP's. I've heard how much of a hassle folk have trying to get near theirs and it always ripped ma knitting. I phoned my surgery 10 mins ago for a prescription check thing. It's got hours that you phone or you get ignored basically. What a pile of shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 "redouble our efforts" As Spike Milligan rightfully pointed out, if you had simply quadrupled your effort in the first place, there would be no need to redouble anything. Entirely your own lack of foresight to blame there to be brutally honest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) The bit in Heat when Ashley Judd gets a bit hysterical. "I'm sick of it I'M SICK OF IIIIT" I would have made her do it again. I thought she was a bit shit in Double Jeopardy too. Might have been too difficult to reshoot with the boat going by the window at the start.

The system still revolves solely around the handful of coffin dodgers who have nothing else to do with their time and would have a second coronary at the idea of using an online booking system. It's the archetype of why this country is such a fucking binfire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I can't recall the last time I made an appointment with my GP. When my son was a baby we took him in a few times and you always get a quick appointment with an infant, understandably. We have an ageing population, the number of GPs is reducing and there are increased waiting lists for the NHS in general, it's all going to add to difficulties getting appointments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 A pal of mine got lifted a couple of weeks ago. Reached the end of his tether, went and sat in the waiting room and when the security door opened he charged through and into a Doctor's room and wouldn't leave. Done for breach of the peace and obstruction of something or other. Binned from the surgery as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
