Saul Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 She has been bleddy well been at it again. Oh and for my blood pressure I have to stop fussing as she only fell off twice. Or so she tells me. FFS. And this is the one that wants a bike. Laughed at the boy today, he went to the pictures with his mates and rode home in the rain and dark He comes in ranting “What the actual fuck, how are you supposed to see” I explained to slow down and try and look away when you’re being dazzled. He thought I was a dick for laughing and saying that rain and dark are part of biking and you just have to deal with it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Morning minger losers One more day of major slog before I make it back to the sunshine, I hope. Will have to do a fair bit more work when I get there but it should be a much more reasonable pace ps remembered I didn’t reply to @yen_powell about “Morning minger losers.” What Boboneleg said about it being a West Country thing is right. Hard to believe it’s mostly affectionate. Hello ugly losers generally means you’re saying hello to your own kind of mates, they’re losers, so are you, thats why you’re mates. It can be used in a more insulting way if you sneered implying they’re losers and you’re not but it’s always received with smiles cos they know you’re a minger loser too.

We expect dumb thumbs up in hospital pics the second it’s possible and a post op a pic of your midazolamed face Although I think you said it was a GA so maybe just except all painkillers (if they even ask, normally they just dose you while unconscious ) and get Mandy to take one with your eyes spinning.. for your records obviously not our gratuitous entertainment.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Yeah, it's under a GA, so I'll not be aware of anything until later in the day! Mandy isn't planning on coming in until the afternoon, so the humiliating pictures of me off my trolley may have to wait! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 25 minutes ago, XTreme said: You got private healthcare or State Bob? It's a bit different in France, Pete. The state healthcare generally covers you up to 75% of the cost and you can pay the other 25% yourself or have a kind of top-up insurance to cover it. As it happens, full-time employees in France get the top-up insurance as part of their package, so Mandy gets that, which also covers me. I am booking a private room, because I'm an unsociable bastard, which will cost a little extra over what is covered by the insurance. I think it's about 65€ a night over what's covered. In effect, all hospitals in France are private, but the state healthcare system reimburses them directly and the insurance, if you have it, generally does the same, or you pay it and they reimburse you directly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
