View Full Version : I have two chaps at home today doing some plastering and they appear to have
barricaded me in my office with a sofa :-(
I can't help but feel it is their intention to rob me blind now.

Let me guess, your next post is how they are Asian/Muslim and are bound to stab you as well

They are both white actually, Pokster. One has both arms covered in tattoos and I can tell that the other has definitely stabbed at least one man in the past.

How do treat your patients from home, Richard? Do they email their symptoms so you can put them through the googleator and copy paste the reply?

Thank god you're a doctor then.
Doesn't Theo Walcott have tattoos though? That makes them less scary.

I've never really understood why black fellows have tattoos - especially the really dark ones. You have to really study their arms/legs to work out whether it's a tattoo or just a blemish of sorts. Someone should invent white tattoos to cater for this market.

I'm going to India, sadly. Visited my GP to ask about jabs and he said he would prescribe antibiotics for me to take in case I got a stomach bug. This surprised me.
Aren't stomach bugs caused by viruses and don't antibiotics have no impact at all on viruses?

They can be but they would most likely to be caused by a wide range of bacterium.

It's all psychosomatic. The hard of thinking go to India convinced they are going to get a stomach bug, and, hey presto! 8 hours later they're ****ting rusty bum gravy at high velocity. :rolleyes:
Eat some yoghurt, go outside your hotel and eat street food with the locals and enjoy the experience.

When I went to Egypt as a kid we were warned not to eat or drink anything we bought locally. I said "screw that, I'm invincible" and ate some ice-cream with two other kids. All three of us became ill with the runs. In Guatemala after I bravely drank mosquito-infested water in the jungle I had dodgy insides for months.

Well, as in all things, ymmv, as I believe our colonial cousins have it. However, far better to live a day as a lion than a lifetime asa sheep, surely?
I once ate some dodgy meat on a stick in a market on the shore of Lake Victoria, which left me with crippling griping cramps for 18 months. But I never shít myself.

I quite enjoy the life of a sheep, tbh. A bit rainy but you get to wander around a bit and the scenery's not bad. Lions spent most of their time asleep, don't they? And the blokes don't even run around doing the hunting. Good roar though.

Well, from the description of colleagues that have been there before me; it appears I would miss out on abject poverty, appalling misogyny, traffic jams of unbelievable proportions and, as you pointed out, debilitating stomach issues which could run on for months thereby pretty much ruining my day to day existence.
I'll take the sheep's existence, thanks very much.

From the evidence in front of me I can deduce that he wants to try and avoid getting the very bad shíts and likes a Club Sandwich.
The former I would suggest is normal and I have never had a Club Sandwich so it is hardly a character defining action of a proud son of Ireland.
I find your aggressive, boorish attitude to all on here, with the exception of B and your little wannabe mini me Dick, to be distasteful.

That's you and peter. :-( You wouldn't dump my body outside a KFC, would you?
Abandoned by the glw this evening, I have resolved to prepare for myself the following repast:
Eggs, two, fried.
Sausages, three, fried.
Bacons, several, fried.
Chips. Fried.
On the side, tomato sauce, for the healthy element.
You will notice there are no beans involved. I'm not feeling beans.

You need beans as a bit of chip gravy imo. And that's way too much bacon without tomato to go with it.

Hmm. I cook my sausages and bacon in the oven. I suggest you try this.
I had lamb schwarma for lunch. It was served open with fries on the side so I added some in, rolled it up and devoured it.
This is how you should be dining tonight given your domestic circumstances.

Bowl of corn flakes for my tea I think.

"Meal" option. Not for the first time I suggest Ireland leads the way - smoking ban, poofs getting married, red lemonade and now the schwarma meal.

Nah, you have to go and see all of that. As far as diet is concerned just don't eat meat and fish. They are horrible anyway, the vegetable dishes are much, much better.
On three trips I only broke this rule once and got violently ill.
I think it is also important to drink as much alcohol as you can.

Yet you were happy enough to mock and pour scorn on me for visiting Govindas vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Dublin on a weekly basis.

No, sorry, I don't believe that was me. Monty, I think.

Naturally, I will consider your apology.

The advice was not to you, nor was it for your information.
Nevertheless, you are thoroughly wrong to accuse me of mocking you. I did no such thing. In fact, I mentioned that some indian vegan food was excellent, which only serves to make you even more wrong.
A man admits when he is wrong. I'm waiting.....

B+C is a pub in Christchurch where I believe FX Buckley run a restaurant, or do the grub perhaps more accurately, them being a very long established City butcher of high standing.
They serve a good selection of beer also from memory.

There beer was actually my main reason for visiting (beer challenge). Managed to tick off 6 or 7 there, from memory. Landlord was a good guy too and enjoyed the sport area upstairs with large screen and cellar (not sure you can have a cellar upstairs) with glass wall through which you could see the beer flowing through all the lines.
Wd The Bull and Castle imo.
