Michael W Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 They're *really* reluctant to remove them now, for some reason. Yep. One of my mates is forever getting it, but he's still not had them taken out. They keep giving him antibiotics for them and telling him if it happens again they'll take them out. Repeat cycle next time etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 They're *really* reluctant to remove them now, for some reason. Two people i know are getting them removed in the next few months so they can't be that reluctant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Two people i know are getting them removed in the next few months so they can't be that reluctant. I'm talking in comparison to 20 years ago here. First sign of tonsillitis then and they'd whip them out (tonsils lads, don't panic!). Now they just don't do it. The people you know must have exceptional circumstances. My bro has had it about 15 times and they're still refusing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bro has had it about 15 times and they're still refusing. I know one of them literally gets rid of it and then 2 days later has it again. I have had it about 15 times aswell, you eventually get use to it Edited March 25, 2009 by Honest Saints Fan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 My buddy and I were chatting about films over a pint a few nights ago and he mentioned a special extended version of one of my favourite films that he had. Last night he unexpectedly dropped into the howff and lent me it, as he's off to Amsterdam to see us mangle the Dutch and wouldn't see me for about a week. Of course I was really pleased and wanting to see the previously unseen excerpts but there was a caveat. It's produced in a 'Region 1' format but 'most decent DVD players should cope'. The film is: and the previously unseen scenes are highlighted in orange: So I put it in my Technika DVD player that the ex bought before she ran off with the kids and the good stuff and guess what? Yep, it came up with 'WRONG REGION' and couldn't play it. Honestly, even when something good happens fate comes up and prods your privates with a red hot poker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheapy dvd players you can get in Asda and Tesco and such like for about £15 normally all play multi regions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most (all?) doovdee players can be jiggery-pokeried to make them multi-region, if you tell us the exact model we might be able to find something online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzreid Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 If you're gonna fucking market something as having Red Onion in it put fucking Red Onion in it not fucking White Onion rfor the third day in a row. I'm happy to provide a wee bit of leeway with the first couple of times but it's seriously pissed me off this morning. Fucking incompetent arseholes, If it's not Red don't claim it's red.

It's a Technika make but I can't remember the model. I'll give it another look tonight and make a note. I do know I also bought this... ....to put it on, when I can be arsed to wire the new TV up! NB Please don't let Frank Booth see this - he'll pish himself laughing at my ineptitude as it was him who persuaded me to upgrade my TV and lent me the DVD!

Raith Against The Machine Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I don't mean this to be one of these "I'M NOT A RACIST YOU PAKI" posts, but it might look that way. I can't see what's offensive, in the slightest, about this joke. Is there something that I'm missing? Surely it's just a play on the name Mahatma...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbl Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Follow my simple programme to ratchet up pressure on yourself... 1. Your big presentation is Thursday afternoon, so you plan to write it on Wednesday 2. You realise said presentation isn't so good, so you rewrite it Wed evening 3. You don't finish it and vow to do it Thursday during the day 4. You go out to the conference social dinner for some food and a couple drinks 5. It has a free bar. Take advantage of this bar, the wine is free... 6. Apparently go to other bars and make a cnut of yourself 7. Wake up late the next day, still in your clothes, and with no memory of steps 5 & 6. 8. Make sure drink enough so that you lose your voice and have a pounding hangover. Help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were working for me, I'd sack you for gross incompetence. I've no sympathy because you are 100% responsible for the mess you find yourself in. Time to grow up and separate the fantasy world of P&B from the harsh reality of gaining respect in the real world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
