What is hacking you off today?

[MK Shrimper]

Our family cat's on the way out.He'd be 16 in March but obvously won't live that long.Looks like another trip to the vet's on the cards.This time to put him down.

Sorry to hear that mate always a **** trip. Lost 3 of them, never easy.

 

[MK Shrimper]

See, you wouldn't get that in Southend. Yes, we get stabbings and murders quite often, and cannabis farms down every street , but messy boardrooms, never.

Boardroom may be pushing it somewhat.......

Bloody Tui trying to get out of our reimbursement for a 5 hour delay coming home from Jamaica - apparently it's logged as being down to the weather conditions at the airport which is not covered, however, the pilot clearly told us that it was down to technical problem with the plane we were due to have fly out to bring us home, and them having to bring in a replacement plane from elsewhere! Besides which there were no inclement weather conditions in Jamaica where the plane was late arriving as we followed it in on tracker.

This is not over!

The latest moral panic over the "Momo" challenge. As per usual it's bollocks.

Shouldn't that be in the politics thread.

Haha. Not at all, my daughters' school sent a warning letter about it yesterday and as you can imagine all the mums are bricking it that their kid will watch a vaguely creepy picture and the kids will suddenly jump in front of the nearest bus. We had chain letters when I was at school that promised death and misery if you didn't forward them. I ripped them up and now I'm a millionaire.....oh.

Oh sorry. I thought you meant someone was challenging May. Yes, I saw that creepy image on the news but was busy, so half took it in. What sort of sicko comes up with this, and tries to get kids to self harm? I truly hope they can get caught and done for it.

But thats the thing - no one has done something stupid due to a video. Both the NSPCC and Samaritans have said it's a hoax but of course the press are all over it and blown it up out of all proportion.

They’re not the only ones. I showed it to my missus the other day, as she hadn’t seen it, and wanted to know what it was all about.

Now we’ve got to sleep with the light on

When I was was at school there was a rumour that the ICF were going to turn up at home time and kick our heads in.

I don't blame them for thinking better of it.

Just tugged a nasel hair out that's longer than what I have on my head.

Second time around for us.Ironically,both cats originally belonged to our daughters and we inherited them when the girls left the nest.Never easy as you say.

Mum was taken into Southend Hosp a week ago, we thought she had a Hiatus Hernia. Tests were done last couple of days, Consultant wanted to see me & step dad ( 91 ) this morning, with Mum in her bed.
We thought it was to explain what treatment they were going to give her.
Turns out she's got the big 'c' in 3 places, they cant do anything & only a matter of ( short ) time left.
What a crap start to the weekend?.

So sorry mate, that is awful. With things like this I have found the hospital, McMillan and FairHavens to be very good; but needing to be asked as they let people involved take the lead.

That is really sad news, you need to keep strong and sportive for your Mum and Step Dad.

Jesus, so sorry to hear that.

Thank you OBL. We were told it's advanced in her 'food pipe', stomach & Lungs, yet fortunately she has never been in any pain, even up to today.
Struggle to get my head around that?. My late wife had bowel & Liver 'c', & was taken into the Hospice for 10 days for pain monitoring before they upped her medication.

Well, that is a relief for you, nothing worse than seeing your loved ones in pain and feeling helpless. I hope that continues.

Taking my son to the pub to watch the Southend game only to discover Spurs-Arsenal was on at the same time.

Ended up watching the game on my phone at Benfleet Yacht Club.
