    I get cross when the kids "plant " their Red Bull cans in the hedge next to the Supermarket. The waste bin's only about 6 feet away,

      I get really cross when something which was good has to be phased out or changed because of the 'nanny state'.
      I wanted to buy some Golden Eye ointment, which used to be brilliant, sooo soothing if your eyes were sore, and so effective as well. But......................it used to contain mercury which apparently is a brilliant antibiotic, well you can't have substances containing mercury around these days, some moron is bound to go and eat it. The 'new' ointment is nowhere near as good.

        I have a tescos express at the end of my road so i get drinks cans and cartons and sandwich cartons on my drive all the time. Sometimes it blows up the road the wind howls down my street but a lot of the time its people dropping it. I cant stand littering!!!


        Anyway my moan today is I have to have a mumps injection :sad:

        Turns out instead of getting two MMR injections as a kid im in the group of people who were born in 1980 till 1990 who got one MMR and one MR (measles and rubella) vaccine so didnt get a second mumps one.

        Spoke to my GP today about it and he doesnt want to do it while my ME is so up and down and wants me to be as well as possible and having a good spell when i get in the injection so its most effective

        But the injection could make me quite sick. So i now have to make sure i rest loads (which means i have to stop doing so much so cant get much done) to make myself well enough for an injection that could knock me back. *sigh*

        The main reason the docs want me to do it is incase im ever pregnant to protect the baby from mumps but i dont want a child anyway and never want to be pregnant but due to my illness being autoimmune its going to be better for me to have it incase i do ever catch mumps anyway

        I just wish they have given me both injections as a child so this wouldnt be necessary.

        This is seriously going to inturupt my gardening! :mad:

              Mr Namaste takes a lovely 9 year old Springer Cocker ( Sprocket ) for a 4 hour walk in our local Country Park. he will roll in ANYTHING disgusting - the more disgusting the better. Fortunately, on the way back to the car, there is "The Barn Pond" which he loves to wade through and it get's a lot of the mucky stuff off thankfully.
              But the worst is if a he finds the next door's cat poo in his garden. He eats it and his breath smells revolting all day...

                  Just a minor whinge.

                  We had a nice letter from our bank today. Four pages of information for our perusal.

                  Apparently it was an 'annual summary of our account charges'

                  How much have we paid in charges during the last year?

                  Yep, that's right. Nothing. Or £0.00 as they prefer to describe it.

                  They've helpfully broken the charges down into four different categories of £0.00 too and then added them up for us. Guess what the total was. :dunno:

                            I think it would be a waste of time as they never answer your questions, if i ask him a question on gardening i may get a answer the question that i was going to ask him about policing :snork:

                              You could try the "Jeremy Paxman" approach and ask him the same question about 10 times!!
