Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

[Kickpuncher]

I found out that recently a family friend's grand daughter had a chest infection and decided to go home rather than see a doctor etc.

The infection got into her heart, her heart died, and long story short she has a mechanical replacement heart and is waiting on a donor. At 23 years old.

Don't **** around when it comes to infections.

BTW please don't feel sad, its tragic, but shit happens. I posted this because I think its important that people don't **** around when it comes to infections. Also, please don't take anti-biotics unless you need them.

That's so tragic for someone so young

When it comes to anything that I think isn't right with me I'll see a doctor I mean doctors have seen everything so why be embarassed. I'd rather get it checked and be in the clear rather than be paranoid and risk tragic consequences.

Also, please don't take anti-biotics unless you need them.

And if you do get prescribed antibiotics FFS take the entire course as directed.

We'll be back to the Stone Age in 50 years because 'I felt better after a few days/they upset my tummy so I stopped taking them'.

So all my friends are married, and for some reason as the night goes on when I visit, there is a suggestion to move to the lounge as its `more comfortable', and suddenly the TV goes on. I don't even know why, and some half-arsed attempts at conversation are tried but its just totally superficial, and I don't get where this is coming from.

Is it just people I know that do this? What is the deal? Shits me right off.

The very reason I refuse smaller dinners with just another coupe of two. All gatherings should be in public places with big groups and easy escape routes.

1. Out at the pub for dinner.
2- Nek minnit.
3. "Yeah shit we couldn't find you so we thought you'd left" then "yeah next time we'll plan it better".

well said, i found a lump in my chest (breast) lasy year and completely freaked out, was going to be all macho and let it go but looked at my 3 kids and thought don't be stupid. Turned out to be a cyst but the two weeks wait was scary enough, now I know what others have gone through when they find a more devastating lump. Also please don't discount asbestos as a killer, my wifes aunty passed away last year from lung cancer which occured 6 months after she pulled up asbestos tiles on her kitchen floor, ****ing cancer

Why do you say things like that?

 

[DonDraper]

Because they were

Going again tonight. Can't wait.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Fair enough then.

I'm sure the people who run to their doctor and demand antibiotics for things as trivial as a cold will be the people who complain the loudest when their antibiotics no longer take effect.

Sounds like you've mastered The Swerve™.

A close mate of mine is notorious in our circle for executing flawless swerve manoeuvres. He once attended an engagement party for just several minutes before disappearing. I was in awe.

I went without using any form of antibiotic for almost 15 years.

The run ended when travelling through India in my late twenties when I foolishly ate some grapes from a street vendor in Delhi. I seriously thought I was going to die.

Dear footyhead07, how are you so wise?

All my friends have small children that aren't of school age, how does one engineer this sort of scenario with these circumstances?

 

[Portia]

Because the more married men talk the more likely they are to say something that pisses their wife off and when you go home completely oblivious his life is crap for a week. TV is so much safer. Or so I've heard.

Do you live in a sitcom?

It's simple, you kill the Batman.

up here we call it "pulling a ghosty" however it is more due to being drunk and leaving a place before you get absolutely plastered due to peer pressure rather than because the gathering is shit

I should also add that I found out who the target audience for Wog Boy 2: Kings of Mykonos is, and its my cousin.

Family friendly pubs are great for this exact purpose, it's why god created the family beer garden with kids menu. And he also created the area of the pub no U/18's can go in for your sanity.

If you are trapped into going to the home of one of these people you speak of, the "cold coming on" is spectacularly successful for short visits.

No one wants a sick child.

You would probably only get "time already served" for a mercy killing of this sort.

Telling them you will be bringing you hammer and nails probably would be an effective deterrent too.

I'm heading off to buy a rowing machine.

My wife says I'm getting fat.

She's right but the advantage of being 6 foot 5 is you can carry 115kg and still look solid rather than fat.

But I'm fat.

This morning on the way to work i drove into the back of a car at the corner of South Road and Bains Road in Morphett Vale, whilst not paying attention. The driver got out and he was a dwarf. He said, "I'm not happy." I replied, "Well, which one are you then?"

The children, how much for the children?

Just finished watching '56 UP' - the 8th episode of the '7 UP' series - it is a social documentary that has been going for almost 50 years following the lives of about a dozen children from the age of 7 who were from various class structures in England.
They are all now 56 years old (obviously) and the different paths they have taken has been a fascinating social study - the winners and losers are clear.
Can't wait for the next episode - in 7 bloody years
