Kidney infection, she's neutrapenic so we're pretty regular guests of the nhs. 

I'm not sure it came across that I was taking the piss about watching the world cup

It did to me but I was too scared to quote you and laugh in case I’d got the wrong end of the stick

Without wanting to sound like a grumpy old bastard, I wonder how many will massively regret it in later life. I am guessing 90% of them. 

What seems great and cool when you are 18 can become a horror show in later life. 

I know so many people who regret tattoos they had years ago. What the hell do you do when your ears look like you've been attacked by a wild dog and you're 45? 

Zero tattoo regrets. Would get another tomorrow.

There's a radio advert I've half caught a couple of times this week but I'm pretty sure it starts with a distorted power chord and then the chap says, "At (whatever company ltd), we like a different kind of feedback".

But it's not feedback, it's just a distorted power chord.

People who gradually  raise the volume of their voice as they anticipate answers to their stupid questions. Do you want an answer?, or even a conversation?, or shall I just shout back in your ignorant mouth-breather face?

Once they’re in on the joke, the joke is over. 

Like Hasselhoff.

Went to the hospital the other week, waited three months to get this appointment, as it was a specialist.

Doctor has hand written the treatment plan for me, and he's hand writing is so poor I can't read a word of what he's written.

I don't even know what medication I need to buy.

I'll be damned if I'm waiting another three months to speak to him!

I've never been more angry playing sport. 

Playing a stupid 7 a side game, mostly for fitness. We're something stupid like 12-2 up. I dont take people on very often but I did, got a bit caught up with someone and fell as he tackled me. No foul, but as I went down my arm got pinned and I couldnt protect my head. I hit my head off the ground as I fall hard enough so I bounce. 

I'm clearly in some discomfort. Not really moving, holding my head. They keep playing. Not a single person stops to check on me and even when the ball goes dead, not a single person comes over. 

I'm fuming and no one understands why. It's not even so much the complete disregard for player safety, but the ignorance to not even know why I'm angry. 

**** that.

Didn’t realise Neymar posted on here  

(hope you’re ok really) 

[StefanAVFC]

I never go over! I get annoyed with people being fannies (I've posted on here about it before)

But if someone has clearly hit their head and they're not moving. Stop the **** game.

Still don't think the sport is good enough with head injuries across all levels tbh.

They probably don't like immigrants.   That's a thing nowadays.

When I was working at the university we had a staff football team that played friendlies. In the first game we played, one of the senior managers went down after a tackle, clearly in some pain. Turned out he'd torn his ACL, and he ended up in hospital. But the best bit was when he was writhing in agony on the ground, one of the other (slightly more junior) bosses went over to him and said: "If you die, can I have your job?"

NHS hospital layouts / signage!!

Words fail me!  It’s as if whoever is responsible for this within the NHS has a sick twisted plot to create the worlds largest maze network!

I had to go to Salford Royal the other day and in preparation for my visit, they sent me a map of the place.  I kid you not it’s like an exploded diagram of the space station!!  Now in fairness they have colour coded it, in an effort to help simplify it - or so I thought.   I’m wandering around, trying to find my way to the main outpatients building, when I come across ‘The Mayo Building’.  God knows why they’ve called it that, but it’s big, got it’s name written on the front in huge letters, and they’ve painted it top to bottom in a light yellow colour.  Makes sense right - Mayo, Mayonnaise yellow.  What colour is it on the map?  F’KN PURPLE!!!  Of course it is!  

When I finally get to the building I need, the walls are just covered with random information.  It’s a fly posters dream in there!  You ask anyone who works there where something is and most of them don’t even know, despite working in there every day.  I finally spotted a relevant sign pointing me in the direction I needed to go… followed it for a few corridors before I ended up at the bottom of a stair well with no other signs telling me where to go from there.  ARRGGHH.  

You end up just forlornly wandering around asking for directions from whoever walks by.  Occasionally you’ll see more people like you, lost in the labyrinth… how old people manage I have no idea, I’m convinced half of them go in and never find their way back out.

City Hospital in Nottingham is similar.

I once went there to visit someone in the ward they were in the day before to be told they'd been transferred. It took me 45 minutes and about half a dozen not entirely helpful staff to find my way to the next ward.
