Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts



I also have memories of dressing up as a leprechaun and trying to direct traffic, I'm aff it for a while.

You're right, I normally leave my phone at home when I go out for that very reason.


Pfft that seems harmless enough wouldn't worry about that. ;)

Unfortunately as Arbroath are doing so well I'm booked up for full days out again this and next Saturday, starting at 7am next week.

Hopefully avoid making too much of a c**t of myself the next 2 weeks. I don't hold out much hope though.

I'm away to be working Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays which are the 3 days I'd normally go out so I should be fine for a wee while

The phrase 'cutting each other's throats' in reference to football. We hear it about the teams in Scotland's World Cup qualifying group and I've heard about in reference to the teams battling to avoid relegation in the Championship. Ever since some wanky journalist used it about Scotland loads of folk have started mindlessly parroting it.

Which brings me on to the split, with folk saying it makes for an exciting end, as if it's actually the split itself that does this and not that a lot of teams are very close to each in terms of points. There's no split in the Championship but currently there are about 5 teams fighting to avoid the bottom two places, and they'll all play each other. The split is nonsense and needs to f**k off.

What's your solution? 44 games a season? Not having a go just curious.

Pretty sure I have bronchitis. Had it about three weeks and it just isn't budging and last night couldn't get a wink of sleep with flu symptoms. No chance of a GP appointment for weeks either.

^^^ Man flu.

 

 

Why do you have to wait "weeks" to see a GP?

There isn't any available. Best I can do is wait for the on call doctor to call me back so waiting on him now.

I am honestly unaware of anywhere in Scotland that someone would have to wait maore than a day or two for a doctor's appointment.

Cutbacks. WIWAL if you were ill you went along to your doctor's surgery and sat in the waiting room until it was your turn. These days you have to know in advance that you're going to be ill.

In the not too distant past I have had to 'phone for a doctor's appointment.  If I wanted my 'own' doctor I have maybe had to wait a couple of days otherwise no more than a day.  Maybe we are just fortunate in The People's Republic of Dundee.

In my old GP Surgery, they operated a system where if you called for an appointment, you would be given a time later that day to call back and speak to the Doctor.  He would then decide if he need to see you and you'd normally get an appointment that day or the next.

The surgery I'm in now appears to view all calls for appointments as an personal inconvenience and you're doing well to get offered one within the next 2 weeks.  They do ask if it is an "emergency" and you'll get one sooner.  I think I'm on their c*nt list for telling her if it was an emergency I'd go to A&E and it's not really my place to decide if it's an emergency appointment or not.

Definitely lucky, GD. I don't go to the doctor often (hard as f**k, see) but it's usually a battle firstly just to get the receptionist to agree that an appointment is necessary then the two appointments I've been lucky enough to make have both been a couple of weeks waiting time just to see any doctor.

The elderly get seen quicker, it's embarrassing for the surgery if they kick the bucket while waiting for an appointment.

I hate receptionists who think they're qualified to give an opinion. FCK off ye old boot, I'll tell all my medical concerns to the actual GP, not some gossiping Widnae.

I've started being extra nice down the phone to my doctors receptionist ever since I turned up and seen this 20 something big fucking ride :wub:

Took a lot of willpower to not say 'hey babe I'm here for my 4.30'
