What didn't piss me off this week? Work punishment for snapping at bitch MD appears to be terror in the meantime...no official rebuke nor consequence but no 'all clear' either....just knowing glances when I am observed being a little angel in circumstances when I should push back on daily idiocy. Thing is...my 'victim' and I have shared no less than 5 shifts since the date of the offense that she characterized as 'hostile and harassing'.....so why does she tolerate sharing a ward with me? I mean, if it was dire she would have to insist on resolution before risking her worthless bitch life in my path, no?

Junior putting a pizza in the oven then forgetting about it and going to bed. Me waking up to the sound of the smoke alarm and the smell of smoke permeating every pore and the sound of my voice permeating his eardrums. Hope you made him eat the burnt offering for his breakfast

All that running about and hitting balls etc. Still I suppose it is quite civilised with tea breaks and the wonderful commentaries on BBC radio.

Could you play the flute before the injury ? Sorry Steel no I couldn't but I'm pretty good at the 'air flute' and do a great air rendition of the drums/keyboards from The Play. Duck

Can't play the flute any more. I reckon you should join me in watching cricket instead of risking your life playing the game. A snap I took of my fellow spectators at a recent match at Durham. Durham v Lancashire. Cricket lovely cricket!

First of all I can't get a decent tree for the bracket I have on the outside wall of my house so I've scrapped the idea altogether this Christmas. And now after half the lights have gone off my indoor tree for the third time I've dragged them off and thrown them in the garage. I'll show them who's boss! I now have the lights on the indoor tree I would have had on the outdoor tree. Bah Humbug!

Won twenty quid on a scratchcard. Walked into Tesco with the said card and a letter to post.
Got it spectacularly wrong. Posted the scratchcard and went to customer services with a letter for Barclays Bank.

PS John - no trees in Tesco, I had a look for you!

Three youffs knocked the door last night. I answered the door ( Just set the scene for you )
There they were in jeans and hoodies and sang grunted one line "we wish you a Merry Christmas"
I said "Boys at least you could have made an effort and dressed up a bit and sing with a bit of enthusiasm"
They stared at me with that pained teenage blank stare and one eventually said grunted "we'd look f**king stupid"
I replied " Well boys call me old fashioned but you look like a gang of car thiefs now f**k Off.
I was watching Strictly Come Dancing - How very dare they.

OnePixieDuck I thought when you were setting the scene that it was going to turn into a lovely, warm story that would gladden any cold frozen heart - but it didn't. I hope they take on board what you said and turn up again and it has a happier ending. oneoptimisticnonrabbit

How did he end up wearing that? No idea, I think they make Manneken Pis wear weird stuff at least once in a while, I was there about eight years ago and it was wearing something else, but this time they definitely nailed it

So I saved up for over 3 years to take the wife and my kids (I have four young daughters) to Disney World. I'm there right now. YAY, right?? But some weird Cthulhuesqe WTF IS THIS DISNEY??? Crazy stuff happening thus far: --My oldest seeing a "dead man who fell out of the Rockin' Rollercoaster" just as my 10yo daughter and I were coasting away on said coaster for our ride (she left out the chicken door, dopey attendants forgot that EMTs were working on a guy who had a heart attack before even getting on the ride, but my 12yo's mind went to the worst possible place of course and traumatization ensued) --A ton of rides breaking down all over the place, Space Mountain broke down right before my 10yo and I got on. I can't imagine being stuck on that ride with my 10yo who loves coasters, but has an anxiety disorder, so, yeah, probably dodged a bullet there; --Food poisoning from a Disney restaurant... again the 12yo... nuff said --7yo and 4yo having meltdowns all over... but really, I'm a daddy of four daughters, that stuff, and anything in the realm of "drama" is old hat! --The smoking section being right outside our door, kicking up the 4yo's asthma (hasn't slowed her down though!) --Neighbors in our (budget) Disney hotel having a knock-down drag out fight in the room, and right outside their (and our) door, with their 1yo and 3yo crying away. My wife called security after a couple hours at 2am; she listened because she's a gossip ( ) I had to listen because I'm a social worker who deals with abused kids... but the kids weren't in danger, nor were they the issue, the parents on the other hand... Well, that's the highlights thus far. Next time we have the money for a vacation, it'll be 2 or 3 days, 5 or 6 is way too much! All that aside, honestly it's been a great trip and it's wonderful to be away with the five most important people in the world to me in the (kinda) happiest place on earth. --Ron--

I don't know what to say!! I've never been to any Disney place and to tell you the truth it was never on top of the list - a bit like... Kids "Can we go to Disneyland?" Me "Yes Yes some day" Kids "Can we get a pony?" Me "Yes yes some day" You just don't think about all those things that have happened to you happening -like it's a magical kingdom where parents don't have domestics or attendants forget to check things properly!! As if Still as you say spending time with the family is worth anything and the kids will love it no matter what and you and your wife will laugh at it in a while. Enjoy the last few days and let us know the outcome Patti xx
