BFTD Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Most recently I had something in my eye when the wummin doing the 20 week pregnancy scan on my wife told us it is a wee girl. Are they allowed to tell people the sex again? Ten years ago there was a whole game of charades involved for thickos who can't see penises on ultrasound monitors They had stern signs up about how the gender of the child would not be conveyed too. Did someone seriously sue the NHS because they were expecting a girl and got a boy, or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's down to the individual trust, rather than a blanket NHS policy.I had a wee bit of a cry recently when I had to call someone and tell them their father had passed away. First time I've ever had to make that call and it was always going to be a rough moment but it just so happened to be on the same day as her mother's funeral.

My grand parents died on the same day which was both sad and convenient. I should add there was no Slipper P business going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLIEA Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 . I had a wee bit of a cry recently when I had to call someone and tell them their father had passed away. First time I've ever had to make that call and it was always going to be a rough moment but it just so happened to be on the same day as her mother's funeral. Not quite the same but this Sunday, Mothers Day is the first anniversary of my Dads death. For ironic shiteness that would be hard to beat. No doubt despite trying to keep her mind elsewhere there will be some damp eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Do you have a mother, Throbber? I always though you were a robot. Yes i do - i had no idea i came across as a robot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Last time I remember greeting apart from at funerals and deaths was in the Co-op in Kincardine about 10 years ago. Some old guy, who looked around 90 and incredibly fragile, was very very slowly doing his shopping and struggling with just about every minor obstacle and inconvenience we encounter daily. Held it in till the motor then blubbed like a bairn. Incidentally, why is it that after a heavy night on the sauce, something as inconsequential as a toothpaste advert can make you feel all emotional?

throbber Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Because alcohol is a depressant drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I know. But surely it should happen during the boozing rather than when most of it's out the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add there was no Slipper P business going on. It's really common for spouses to go around the same time, apparently. I don't mean in accidents and stuff, obviously.

Nah no way - the next day after a heavy session i am the same. I think not sleeping well will add up to it but its over all just a feeling of weakness which is going to make your brain go all over the place. Puts me off drinking heavily anyway!

Of course, you could have helped him instead of being a big greeting shitebag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Do you have a mother, Throbber? I always though you were a robot. Robot? I suspected he was an alien. There are loads of aliens in the Civil Service. Even if they are social misfits and/or completely incompetent they don't stand out. Perfect place for them to go unnoticed.

There was actually a member of staff helping him, but he was determined to do everything himself, which just made it all the more sadder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, greeting shitebag status is acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Incidentally, why is it that after a heavy night on the sauce, something as inconsequential as a toothpaste advert can make you feel all emotional? I mind years ago lying with a massive hangover and a comedown after a night out that an advert for re-homing abandoned dogs had me sobbing uncontrollably for about 15 minutes.
