Drterror's Whinge Of The Week!

[wjp666]

95% of the public are stupid. this is a proven fact.

I seen people in Newcastle wearing face masks yesterday.

I've only just got over it and stayed indoors the whole time.

[wjp666]

when i got it, i immediately went to the pub and breathed on everyone. then i went around licking people at random. on reflection, this may have not been the best thing to do.

Are you sure it was swine flu? I reckon not that many people have had the real thing. My friend was told by her doc that she had swine flu but she said apart from a headache, a sore throat and a bit of a temperature she felt ok. She stayed away from work for 2 weeks as the doc said she was not to be in contact with people.

[drterror666]

Yes, that's swine flu.  You don't have to have the coughing or sneezing.  There's a lot of confusion over what swine flu actually is, but all you need is a headache and a temperature.  My wife got it at exactly the same time as me, same symptoms and everything!

[loulou]

That's probably best that you both had it at the same time.

I haven't had a good whinge in ages, so I'm going to moan about my cat.  Why do their tastes in food change so dramatically?  One day, he'll eat Felix Poultry like it was the last meal on Earth and the next day he'll stare at it like you've just served up a dish of crap!  Then, he'll muck about, trying to kill various family members, lick bleach bottles, eat twigs, etc. until you serve him something that he does like!

Bloody cats!  Why are we their slaves?

(I love him, really!)

My cat is 13 and refuses to eat anything but Felix fish varieties. If I run out and go to the corner shop where they only sell Arthurs and Whiskers she will tip her bowl upside down and then plague me all night.

MY cats are the same!  One week they will eat Felix (in sachets) like starving refugees - the next week they both turn their noses up and we have to go and get Whiskers. They also refuse to eat any meat varieties.

Sadly, our old Tom Charlie died two weeks ago after 'adopting' us for over ten years. He defected from a neighbour's house and moved in with us because the neighbours treated him badly. When they moved away, he stayed with us.

A few days after he died, a shabby stray Tom cat turned up in our garden and has visited us every day since. WEe feed him and fuss him - but he won't move in. He likes being outside. It turns out that four other neighbours are also feeding him so we've christened him 'Sid' after a book my children used to like called Six Dinner Sid. It was about a cat who...guess what he did???

[oldspice]

As it's a whinging thread, I want to whinge about PEOPLE WHO HAVE BON FIRES ON HOT SUNNY DAYS!!   It's been blazing here this weekend. Everyone is in the garden and has washing out. What does out neighbour over the back do?? Has a bon fire! WHY???

The council collect garden waste, recycling waste, rubbish - in fact, anything you want to get rid of. We even have a system whereby charities will come and collect furniture or things you don't want and will make money from disposing of the stuiff for you.

WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BURN WOOD??

Bastard!

Nice to have this thread revived.  Oldspice I had a cat who started off just like your stray one and eventually moved in.  He was always known as 'Roger the lodger'.  And I remember Six Dinner Sid - my kids liked that book too!
Quite agree about the bonfires - it's bad enough with all the barbecues going on but at least they smell nice.

[oldspice]

Ahhh, Roger found a good home in you GC. We miss old Charlie so much - but it's almost as if he sent Sid along as a replacement! Sid is adorable. When you fuss him, he snuggles right up into your arms! He's about the same age as our 'girls' Maggie and Maisie (eighteen months old). They don't like him much. Thye gang up on him! They're usually so friendly, even with other cats. In fact, when Tiger Tom (a beautiful, slim tabby tom) visits the garden, they turn into a right paiur of slappers! But poor Sid doesn't do it for them!

Turn the hosepipe on him.

I think this is a primal man thing.  Man love fire but too stupid to see washing line, ug!  Woman do washing, man light fire, ug!  Man eat burnt flesh of animal now, ug!
