Bring your own sustenance to these situations. Then smugly indulge yourself while watching everyone complain about the prices. I'd say a hospital pretty much is a captive market. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushing there to check on a close relative on deaths door it certainly is. Visiting time, well no, it’s not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the wearing of headgear for no reasonable purpose. The polis, when it's not raining for example.. Only Sheriffs, Judges, Advocates and High Court Clerks wear wigs. Mainly to distinguish the snooty tossers from scummy Justices of the Peace, hack lawyers and dogsbody clerks of the Sheriff Court. I mean lift up horsehair and there's the likelihood you'll find a horse's arse underneath 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I qualify for using PDSA for the mutts, however I pay a monthly thing that covers boosters, worming and couple health checks a year plus insurance. I decided that I'd only use them if I absolutely have to. Shadow needed spayed, anything upward of £350 so I paid the £120 to PDSA What rips my knitting is bams walking in designer gear, some mashed faced designer dug they've paid £000's for and then using a charity. I'd rather the dog was cared for obviously but you just know they're making no contribution. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch 'Jolly' on YouTube as I find the boy Olly quite entertaining (Josh, I'd smash his face into the table) and they bought a Toaster and bean cooking contraption. I'm sure it's the same one that poaches an egg as well bit anyway; they put bread in the toaster to make "beans on toast" and at least a third of the ficking bread was hanging out. They were seeing if it was worth the money and waited on the results. The result was determined at the start of the test. Get that toaster in the bin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 When the police say they can't afford to investigate low level crimes so the public can just go f**k themselves, but then they go and buy themselves jetskis so they can chase people using canoes inconsiderately. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-dorset-66682005 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more than happy to pay for what I can afford and have them insured too but the cost of spaying her at the regular vet was horrendous. For spaying it was significantly less but boosters aren't that much different. You're asked to make a contribution for any other treatment, they probably don't! As I said I wouldn't see an animal suffer but when the owners got Dolce on one trainer and Gabanna on other I question priorities. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be onto something though, an umbrella could double as a weapon. "Markov was assassinated on a London street via a micro-engineered pellet that might have contained ricin.[2] Contemporary newspaper accounts reported that he had been stabbed in the leg with an umbrella delivering a poisoned pellet, wielded by someone associated with the Bulgarian Secret Service.[3] Annabel Markov recalled her husband's view about the umbrella, telling the BBC's Panorama programme, in April 1979, "He felt a jab in his thigh. He looked around and there was a man behind him who'd apologized and dropped an umbrella. I got the impression as he told the story that the jab hadn't been inflicted by the umbrella but that the man had dropped the umbrella as cover to hide his face."[4] It was reported after the fall of the Soviet Union that the Soviet KGB had assisted the Bulgarian Secret Service.[5][" This happened when I was 6. I was suspicious of blokes with brollies for years afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex was a vet nurse and worked at a PDSA for a bit and there was a guy with a French Bulldog (might’ve got that wrong) that was pregnant and he took the dog in for some routine stuff/medication. He was bragging that he was going to “punt” the puppies for close to a grand each making over 5 grand in total for the full litter. Didn’t contribute anything towards the time/work provided for his pregnant dog though and had no intention of doing so when his “earnings” came in. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great there’s such a thing as the PDSA but like almost everything there’s a way to game the system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at an Alloa v Falkirk game in the early 90s,and the chant to the ball boys was "Would you like to see some puppies? Like to see some puppies? Na na na na... Na na na na" Won't get that nowadays. Flaming woke Guardian reading Corbynistas. Edited September 5, 2023 by scottsdad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
