Give me some dialogue from your day

[Mad Doug Biker]

Crown green bowls on ice. Everything is better on ice.

Curling is NOT bowls on ice, why can't people EVER learn about it before making comments like that!

But it is better on ice isn't it. I'll actually watch curling.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

But it is better on ice isn't it.

Better than on grass, yes!

I'll actually watch curling.

Actually it is one of these sports where its better to play than watch, but if you like tactical things, then it is good to watch from that point of view.

 

[Crackle]

Oy! This isn't the tea thread. Dialogue from your day, bugger off the lot of you!

Sorry!!

Me: "They are having a conversation about curling"

Wife: "You lot will talk about anything. Music, Tea and now hair care."

Me: "Umm, yea"

Dad is 84, blind and weak nowadays. He's been bunged up ffor 8 days, he's taking Ducolax, eating oranges etc etc, but can't go. During a fragmented conversation between mum, dad, the wife and I, I thought dad was (as would be normal) against the doctor being rang.
Me to dad...'Dad, are you going to let mum ring the docs, I think you've soldiered on long enough eh ?'
Dad....'Feel free, ' he replied agreeingly.
Wife to me..''Dad's ok with it, it's mum thats hesitant'
Me to mum...'you going to ring the docs now mum ?'
Mum....'Yes, I'm going to ring him in the morning'
Me...'Ring them now mum, they're paid enough, dad's had it long enough, he needs the docs opinion'
Mum...'I will ring him now'

Result.

Agency nurse: How long do we get for morning break?

Me: 15 minutes
She took 25 minutes

Agency nurse: How long do we get for lunch?

Me: 30 minutes
She took 40 minutes

Agency nurse: how long do we get for afternoon break?

Me: 15 minutes
She took 25 minutes

 

[London Female]

Why hadn't you eased it down to 10 minutes by the time afternoon break came around?

Because she is someone who has come to us before and already knows exactly what her breaks are so I don't really know what the point of her questions were and I don't really do confrontation.

I pick up a recycling box, and find it's got some non-recyclable items in it:

Me: Hey, Steve, seen this
Steve: What?
Me: This one's got a wok in it. Want a wok?
Steve: Nah.
Me: How about these two forks?
Steve: Wok the forks going on?!

Is a wok not recyclable?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Me: 'I'm off to Asda, do you want anything?'

Dad: 'A Cow'.

Me: 'Err I don't think they sell those'.

Dad: 'What about a Dog?'

Me: 'I doubt they sell those either, but if you want a cow, I'm sure I could get you some burgers. Talking of which, do you want any horses?'.

Dad: 'Hmmm, no, its ok thanks'.

Is a wok not recyclable?

As scrap metal, yes, it would be, but we don't collect scrap metal, only normal household recycling. We'd like to collect scrap meta (we'd like to collect anything that's possibly salvagable), but at the moment we don't have the capacity to offer a proper service.

That said, if something is still useable and one of us wants or needs it or we think it can go in our second-hand sale box at work, we'll have it - we got a couple of good saucepans the other day. But the wok was all scratched and rusty.

Colleague to me...'Bloody hell, my back's killing me'
Me..'I'll tell you what WILL kill you...the ladies toilets need looking at, you know where the drainrod is'
'Oh FFS, youre joking...'
'Sadly not...have fun'

 

[Crackle]

Me to the dog as he levers someone to one side with his back end to get to the treats someone else has

Me: Eh! Stop that you greedy mutt, bring your big fat back end over here
Dog walker 1: That's no way to talk to Carol
Carol: Eh.....
