The totally off-topic thread

I wondered if it was! I use them - roo basics used to be what the cat got. I use the chicken essentials for the dog and I haven’t been happy with it since they changed the packaging. Smells very strong and hate the plastic - find it very messy.

I feed it in conjunction with Prime100 rolls (and patties if I can find them), K9 Naturals Beef Feast and some stews my friend makes.

Seems pretty good, no issues our end

Berkshire Record Office charges UKP1 per image taken, with your own camera, of their records. Bloody Stone Age attitude. Most other archive offices charge nothing! and I can get through maybe 50-100 images in a day.

Mind you, they also charge 60p for a cup of hot water for tea.

Taking the concept of user pays to an extreme.

The problem of thinking just because you have never had the flu or the flu vaccine is that when you find out you should have had the vaccine it is too late.

Ummm can’t get influenza through chatting on skype or mobile. Maybe the much hyped 5G changes that?

OK, should have phased that better..... I meant that although I don't come in contact with many people during my day, I do spend most of it on the phone. I was referring more to my "contact" rather than getting germs. But I do love anyone that can "twist" things.

Haha, I knew what you were saying,

Though phones and computer keyboards are often dirtier than toilet seats

We now collect bottles at the office for local sport team fund raising.

With some AFFers if wine bottles had a refund they could finance a fair bit of their drinking.

 

[TheRealTMA]

So are you going to bring them to home

Only if I can fill it with single malt.

We got our whisky bottles home unharmed, no idea if my husband will ever drink them but at least he knows he picked the cask and bottled it himself.

Yes. I’ve met them. Same people who tell you they have a migraine, but still manage a glass of wine and a meal.

On the other hand, I had a friend call around to ‘keep me company’ when she found out I was in bed and well into my 2nd day of migraine

I've had a migraine and pushed through a meal, because it was booked, I was taken out and didnt have much say in it. Absolute agony.
I get visual migraines, so lovely flickering arches in my vision, bright spots that stop me from being able to see properly, and the lovely headache that comes when you dont get pain relief in quick enough.

My arm is still sore from the flu jab yesterday. Now I have a slightly sore throat and runny nose.

Joy.

Coincidence. Your immune system is busy working with the flu vacc so you're more likely to pick up a cold, or you may have already been developing one anyway.

Yes, I know that cold symptoms can occur after you've had the jab. I think this is the first year this has happened though.

 

[Denali]

No. Just, no.

Is this acceptable at the hotel breakfast buffet?

 

[Pushka]

Well this is where I am right now waiting for the flu jab.

And done.

I got a free poppa juice and cookie when I got mine

New feature this year after some nurses fainted after their jabs last year.

They most likely did not wash their hands before coming down the lift

At a Hospital? My SIL just said the same. They didn’t last year as they said it wasn’t healthy. They did this year.

I suggested next year they should do a "Bangers and Jab". BBQ is very effective at increasing foot traffic.

Mobile blood banks found that more Uni students give blood when there are free pizzas and Tshirts for the obligatory virtue signalling.

 

[blackcat20]

My previous hospital gave out lollipops, we get nothing here.

 

[JohnM]

When I was first giving blood as a student, around 1968, the Red Cross would also provide free cigarettes with the tea and biscuits!

No virtue-signalling in those days!
