What do you do when your doctor tells you you have 2 maybe 3 days to live.

Usha, it started with a swollen ear, that turned into an inner ear infection, after about 2 weeks it cleared up & I thought that was that, then it moved to the other ear & was much worse, but again after 2 weeks that cleared up, next thing I know it was in the socket my head swivels on & spreading in all direction, I'd masked it by taken pain killers& didn't realise what was going on till it was very nearly too late

Mimi, I'm confident I'll still be here when the two of you get to return here I'm keeping fingers crossed that the last hurdle you face will be jumped very soon, you don't want to fall, they might sent a vet out to shoot you

I'll take a nap

Nam, I can laugh about it as what's the point of worrying, just makes you feel worse, but I'm not laughing whilst I have to wait half an hour for the pain killers to kick in, or when my debit card goes into there machine

Nam, I don't have a choice, I either do what she says or rush out & make a will, mind I've mad my life harder as I asked her to cut down the dose of the antibiotics as they gave me headaches like I'd been run over by your truck, problem with that is I now have to take it more often & then 2 hours later another concoction to counter the side effects, so what that all the other pills I don't have time to sleep, not that I could with the headaches anyway

RE: Parable of the Blind and Deaf.

Reminds me of a pub I used to go to sometimes they'd have live entertainment so I'd meet all my mates there, a lot of the time it was just frequented by football hooligans shouting about there team but when the entertainment was on the place would really fill up with normal people problem was at weekends they had a bartender who was deaf dumb & blind so whenever the football crowd started a fight this bartender would just grab the closest to hand & chuck them out, not realising, due to his impairments, that he was actually chucking out the entertainers we all went to see for a while we all went to the pub across the road where you could watch the hooligans from a safe distance but of course that got to be really boring so we all went off to a pub on the other side of town & lived happily ever after

You may need to clean the windows on this blog quite often, people looking through them tend leave marks when they view but on the plus side I doubt you'll need to wash the floors much as not many will actually enter

RE: Ten ways we could fix broken Britain

IMO, a lot of the problems stem from one item on your list, housing/house prices, the first thing would be to admit there's a problem, something the current PM failed to do as home secretary & then as PM, the UK is an island in the Atlantic with a capitalist economy, if it takes in 300k (net) new people every year then it has to build a new city the size of say Newcastle every year, if it doesn't house price inflation will continue. as an alternative to building a new city remove local government power on planning permission, currently a field that hasn't been built on but is filled with dumped fridges & mattresses counts as green belt & untouchable, anywhere with some grass an area of outstanding beauty, even if nobody has looked at it in years. Take a hammer to planning laws on your own house, you bought it so why should the council have the right to say you can't extend it? With housing affordable to all a lot of the other problems dissolve.

RE: Unwritten History of the Unknown:

I wouldn't say it was unwritten history or unknown, rather the plot for the original Planet of the Apes film (1968)

RE: Don't let the old man in. Not today.

I reckon............ hold on there's a knock at the door, wonder who that could be

RE: Why I've been gone

Sorry to hear that but we were beginning to fear the worst and whilst that's not a great outcome at least you're still with us

RE: Overexposure of politicians!

It's a bit like that in Spain with posters all over the place, still better than the way they used to do it , painting the names on walls with white paint that lasted till the next election
In the UK they'd probably need planning permission for every poster, so they go door to door, not very nice for them when they're so unpopular with there handling of Brexit

RE: ICC Cricket

looks like not

RE: Percy Turner

There's a large market for pork pies here, they have to be smuggled in hand luggage on Easyjet, but how are we supposed to organise a smuggling trip when you're not even sure which days they're available

RE: My opinion on opinions

Red,

RE: My opinion on opinions

At least that's one thing I'll never be accused of

RE: The most popular game in condo life...

You'll know when you've got a problem when they change the odds on it being you from 100-1 against to odds on favourite

RE: "NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN"

Not forgotten.

RE: Do you ask questions within 'blogs', despite it being against blog rules ?

Jim, snarky had to look that up oh yes I can be snarky, but I've never bothered with lies, if I say something it's my person view & could be as wrong as the next man, but will never be a lie.

RE: Do you ask questions within 'blogs', despite it being against blog rules ?

Jim, my comment was not an accusation against you as I know you are fully aware of copyright law & also no doubt how annoying it is when your pictures are used by others without your consent.

RE: It's finally starting to come out - the money laundering activity of Trump & Kushner

Bekard, don't knock this article it's made my day -

" It went to managers in New York who were part of the private bank, which caters to the ultrawealthy"

I didn't know how wealthy I was till reading this, but seems we all are round here...... they deliver our post so we're all customers therefore all ultrawealthy

RE: It’s GOLD for South Africa At Chelsea Flower Show… Again!

can't say I'm surprised as a large percentage of the plants we use in Europe came from SA in the first place.

RE: flying

I also watched that documentary, most of the younger ones in the program were girls, I don't think I'd be nervous about there flying but would be a little concerned about there parking the plane at the end of the flight

RE: Reviews ... and why we read them ...

The last time I tried to give a bad review for a product that just didn't work I filled in the section on reviews for this product, I didn't appear next to the product but produced an email from the supplier, it was then I noticed that of the hundreds of thousands of items on this site not one had a bad review

RE: Going straight

Harbal, oh I don't know, from what I saw it was also a Bentley that took you there

RE: Going straight

I've sent a car to pick you up from the prison gates

RE: Sign of the times

I blame chocolate bar manufacturers for that, they've been cutting down the sizes for about 30 years it was bound to catch on with everything else eventually

RE: Words I don't like

OMG it's like the Jeremy Kyle Show, somebody must have died after commenting on one of his blogs

RE: Which country has the most awesome military?

Big budgets & huge firepower isn't always the answer, look at the Germans in Russia or the Americans in Vietnam

RE: Another brick in the wall

Which all goes to show we don't need all the rules & regulations imposed by governments & especially the EU, when I left the UK there were guys in there 60's having to go back to school to get a qualification to do a job they'd been doing for 40 years
