With the amount of cameras that you see all down the motorways, i’m surprised this lady managed 15 miles. Where were all the patrol cars,,,,,ohhhh yea! I know, silly me,,,,,probably asleep under a nice convenient bridge somewhere. :roll: :roll:

I came close to doing the same thing myself one morning,,the visibility wasn’t that good, I was in a place unfamiliar to me, and due to the poor signing I almost drove the wrong way onto a roundabout, scarey yea!!……It was as I started to pull away and a lorry drove out from the fog coming round the roundabout that I realised :roll:

“The Coast”

:lol: Cracks me up … sounds like you’re all off to the French Riviera or something.

What is it that ‘cracks you up’ so much.

Why is the idea of taking my family out for the day such an odd idea :roll:

I was off work for several weeks, in fact from mid December to about 4 weeks ago, when I went back to work.

Iv’e worked pretty much most of my adult life. I had several years when I didn’t, when I stayed at home while my son was small. I went back to work when he started full time school.

During those weeks when I was off, yea the first couple of weeks it was great!!……..it wasn’t long though, till I started to climb the walls with sheer boredom. :? I’m back at work now and doing an average of between 20 and 37 hours a week, depends week to week on how short staffed we are. I’m very glad to be back at work and I personally think it wins hands down to being on the dole, or just being at home, not working. There are those who say that at my age, which is 60, (although I don’t feel 60 or act it for that matter :lol: ) that I should be retired. I remember reading an article a little while ago, I can’t remember where or when (senior moment :lol: ) about a very elderly man, in his 90’s I believe, he’d retired for a couple of years but due to the boredom, he went back to work, good for him I say!!,,,,,,,, :wink:

The article says that it’s probably more down to ”youth thuggery” than a race hate attack, and they’re probably right!

I have to agree though, as much as some people might not like it, that had this been a muslim preacher (i’m sorry I don’t know what they’re title is) it would have evoked a much bigger reaction than a small 2 inch by 2 inch article in yesterdays papers :roll: :roll:

What kind of sick fck would do such thing. Hope the people get long setences and the sh!t kicked outta them.

I think that you can probably rest assured that at least in america if this case is proven against the parents, that they’ll be doing more than just a few months, or a couple of years in prison, as they would with our own judiciary system :roll:

Not of course, that it helps this poor little mite. I do hope that she’s ok, that she recovers and that her and her elder sibling receive better treatment in the future.

I still say that people like this shouldn’t be allowed to re-produce and should be sterilised/castrated in order that they can’t bring anymore young lives into the world, for them to persecute and torture. I hope they burn in hell!!

Had something like that too on mothers day Mary.

I missed my own mum something terrible, first one without her, but I did go to see her and took some flowers, sat and told her all about Logan, my very brand new, first grandaughter, 11 days old.

I had a lovely card from my son and his girlfriend, I had a Nana one too from Logan :) It’s not always been good, but yesterday is etched on my memory forever. They spent the day with me, I had lots of cuddles with Logan and a perfect day :)

Last year,,,,,,,,,when my mum passed away

In her tin box,,(they all have one don’t they :lol: ) full of papers and bits and pieces. We found what I suppose you’d call an ”ode”. My brother said he’d remembered her showing this piece of paper to him some 15 or so years earlier and how funny she, and he, had found it then.

During the following week, when we were organising her funeral, we had a humanist minister come to see us to arrange a service for her, she wasn’t religious at all, and we felt that this was what she would have preferred.

We had this ‘ode’ placed into her order of service, it summed her up completely. It made people smile on the day, laugh in fact! and it was exactly what she would have wanted, she’d often said that when her time came, she didn’t want people to be sad, more remember her with a smile. This is it……..

WHAT IS A SENIOR CITIZEN

A Senior Citizen is one who was her before the pill, television, frozen foods, credit cards and ball point pens.

For us, time sharing meant togetherness, not computers. A chip meant a piece of wood, ‘hardware’ meant hardware, and software wasn’t even a word.

Teenagers never wore slacks or jeans, we were before tights, drip dry clothes, dishwashers, clothes dryers and electric blankets. We got married first! and then lived together, we thought cleavage was something the butcher did.

We were before disposable nappies, jeans, pizzas, instant coffee. Macdonalds wasn’t even thought of!

In our day, cigarette smoking was fashionable, ‘Grass’ was for mowing, ‘Pot’ was something you cooked in! a ‘Gay’ person was the life and soul of the party, ‘Aids’ meant beauty lotions, or help for someone in trouble.

We are today’s senior citizens. A hardy bunch when you think of how the world has changed and the adjustments wev’e had to make.

HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOUR GETTING OLD.

Everything hurts, what doesnt hurt doesnt work. The glint in your eye is the sun shining of your bi-focals.

You feel like the morning after, but you haven’t been anywhere. You get wind playing cards. Your children begin to look middle aged. You join a health club but you don’t go. A dripping tap causes an uncontrollable urge. You have all the answers but no one asks you the questions.

You look forward to a dull evening :roll: You need glasses to find your glasses. You turn out the light for economy, not romance. You sit in a rocking chair but you can’t make it move.

Your back goes out more than you do! You put your bra on back to front, it fits better! You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there!

Your house is too big, and the medicine cabinet is too small.

And as if all of that wasn’t enough!! Your birthday cake collapses under the weight of the candles!!

There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t think of her. I think too of the people who were there on that day. They all felt as we did, that it would have been exactly how she’d have wanted it to be.

I’m sorry for your loss Mary. You have some wonderful memories that she’s left behind for you, enjoy them xxx
