How is it that when anyone has to go to hospital in Coronation Street (as they frequently do) they are invariably put in a nice private ward, instead of sharing a public ward with five other old buggers, all snoring, farting, talking in their sleep, moaning, coughing and with nurses coming in all night to see to them and waking you up, like happens to me?

Are they all in some private health scheme?

Of course they're in private health schemes. They are reasonably paid TV stars and they have a schedule to keep.

No, but the Mrs likes to watch and I am compelled to be present while it's on.

I didn't say I actually WATCHED it.......

What is it with women and soap operas ?

No, you carried out something without proper preparation and planning

Eh ! You either plan something ahead of an event or you don't. You can't pre plan something.

I think pre planning is planning the actual plan

One can however act on something pre planned

Parents at airports that let their kids play around the baggage carousel. They suddenly start up and little Johnny is losing a finger. Its a piece of machinery but that doesn’t deter them.

Churchill 'I want to liberate Europe, General Smith can you draw up a plan.
Smith, Yes Prime Minister but I'll need Sergeant Brown to plan the plan for me.
Brown. Yes Sir, not a problem, as long as someone can pre plan my plan, I plan to have it done by tomorrow.

I read an account of the battles fought during The Wars of the Roses. After a surgeon amputated a soldier's arm or leg, they would often get someone to piss on the wound as a form on antiseptic.

Or just for a laugh maybe.

Fucking germaphobes. When I was a kid I would pick up chewed up bubble gum off the rd and eat it. Usually had tyre tracks in it and I had to pick out the bits of stones.

Luxury! Our dad used to feed us bits of stones,if we were lucky.

 

[dobingsdobber]

@roach3 How about....
'What time do you want to leave?'
'9.30.
'Well I still have to dry my hair, do my make up, get ready and sort some stuff out, I won't be ready until 10, maybe later'
'So why did you ask me, why not just say you'd be ready at 10.30, well go then,'

I'll let you guess which is me and which is Mrs Mist but as a clue, I don't wear make up or take 3 hours to get ready for the shops.

It's that "sort some stuff out" that pisses me off with Mrs. Dobber.
What stuff?

 

[dobingsdobber]

I actually bib, flash my headlights and wave to them to get their attention, funny how they know exactly what I mean.

Another one, those that let you out, but raise their finger off the steering wheel, point at you, and then move their finger in the direction for you to go, just the once like they’re in charge and ordering you around, many a time I’ve just told them to ‘fuck off’ and waited for someone who has the courtesy to look at you, give you the thumbs up, and wave you in (like I do), funny how they know exactly why you’re doing it too, guess there’s just loads of arrogant wanker drivers out there.

"Bib" haha,love it, not heard that for ages.

 

[dobingsdobber]

I have always found it irritating playing Scrabble with people who know loads of completely obscure words. However. My other half plays 'Words with Friends' with her Mother which is a kind of App based scrabble. She was busy tonight so asked me to play in her place. Some of the words her mother played (and were accepted) were;
Mea
Ab (an abbreviation which to me is not a word)
De
Huger (bad english)
Phiz
Trad
Oda
Ladens

WTF ???

File for divorce immediately.

Tesco

Its TESCO....you dont go to Tesco's / Tescos....you go to TESCO

It's short for "Tesco's supermarket", just like going to "your parent's" or "your parents' " or "your sister's" etc, the missing word is inferred.

 

[dobingsdobber]

Thank you, was going to post the same.
"I'm no royalist...."
Almost as anoying as
"You are so and so, and I claim my £5"

You are Victor Meldrew and I claim my £5
