Another @Berserker & @True Blue by the looks of it?

I prefer a self-checkout than a cashier but they will never take over a cashiers job as a lot of times the self-checkout will break down and then you have to wait for an attendant for assistance and if the store is busy and they only have one attendant on you can sometimes wait for around 5 minutes for assistance.

Aye, I wonder what else he has taught it

That was a joke really as I know you are not religious

I checked it out again and it was ok, all that just to hear a parrot say Fuck Off

@nudge, seeing that you are... erm...religious, you might like this A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be assured that if any mischief occurred in their town their two young sons were in some way involved. The parents were at their wit's end as to what to do about their sons' behaviour. The mother had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past, so she asked her husband if he thought they should send the boys to speak with the clergyman. The husband said, ' We might as well. We need to do something before I really lose my temper!' The clergyman agreed to speak with the boys, but asked to see them individually. The 8-year-old went to meet with him first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly,' Where is God?' The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, ' Where is God?' Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face, ' WHERE IS GOD?' At that the boy bolted from the room and ran directly home, slamming himself in the closet. His older brother followed him into the closet and asked what had happened. The younger brother replied, ' We are in BIG trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it.'

Just finished reading 'The Dolls House' by M J Arlidge so I have ordered his next novel in order, 'Liar Liar', arriving tomorrow.

That's all I got above buddy, it wanted me to show my credit card details before viewing, fuck that.

@nudge, just realised this is posted in the wrong thread I meant to post it in the Medical & Health issues, could you do the honours and move, please.

The funniest one for me was years ago when we were living down South where I was working and we lived in a flat above a pet shop, at this particular time the wife was not fond of cats and would not have one as a pet or whatever. Well, a mouse was running around the flat and the wife was petrified, laid down traps the lot but could not catch the bugger so I said to the wife we will have to get a cat, she agreed in the end, reluctantly, so I got one at the RSPCA discarded pets sanctuary, named Rumps, I year old. The wife would not let Rumps near her because of cats hairs and after a week she said " So much for that cat catching a bloody mouse...", the next day I was in the kitchen and heard the wife scream, I went into the lounge and there was the wife sitting on our son's knee scared shit as Rumps was sitting on the floor with his tail swishing away with a dead mouse in it's mouth. I managed to get it away from Rumps and headed outside to get rid of it and when I came back there was the wife sitting there with Rumps on her knee, CAT HAIRS THE LOT!!!! stroking him and he was purring away, the wife loved Rumps to bits after that.

The NHS can be a fucking joke sometimes, that's the wife just received a letter from the NHS about her flu jab coming up, they only booked her a place 10.6 miles away out of town for the jab that will take her around 40 minutes to get there plus it's at 08.15 in the morning. Surely they could check out her age on the NHS database and note she is 73 years old with medical problems and live in Leith where there is other facilities around locally that will do the job, I spent all morning and afternoon trying to ring up and get it cancelled but all we got was " Sorry, lines are busy..." I managed to ring up our local chemist shop who will cater for us both at the end of the month, the pharmacy is a 15-minute walk away from where we live.

The daughter borrowed a mousetrap from me as she had a wild mouse running around her flat, it's been there for a while before she got Puddin but I told her Puddin will catch it but she said no, he is only a kitten...WRONG!!!! The daughter just texted me....... She was going to try and let her 2 remaining pet rats out and introduce them to Puddin but she won't know in case Puddin destroys them.

The wife had a ladies night around our daughters, bottles of wine, a Chinese take-away and watching a film, lucky she checked her bag when leaving for the taxi as Puddin had decided to settle in it for the night and that bought back memories when one of the pet rats (Zoom) did the same a few months back and the wife nearly took Zoom home with her in the bus.

@Stan, appologies, just saw you have already made a thread on this and I can't delete this post so could you either merge it with your thread or you can delete it? cheers.

Talking about mobile phones again the wife has had this one for over 10 years and she won't get a new one and swears by this it, it fits into the palm of my hand it's that small, all the letters on the keypads are worn away yet the wife knows what key has what letter etc, I won't touch it as even with my glasses on I can just make out the keypads.

In fact, we have Our daughter gave us these 2 miniature musical boxes as a Xmas pressie last year, you open the lid up and wind them up and they play ' You are my sunshine...' and the Beatles ' Let it be...'

What about these ones, about 10 years old and still work, I just pulled them out of a box in the kitchen dusty as fuck, we would let wee Kaiden play with them when he was around 3 years old, he would run around taking pictures of anything he seen.

Still got one, I bought this for the wife around 2001 I think it was and still works once charged and a new sim card put in it, you were right about the messages bit and this one has no camera or any other up to date things like WhatsApp etc, it's been sitting in a bedroom drawer for over 15 years.

I wondered what you were talking about as me not being a wrestling fan so I dug this up, imagine if that was a bunch of footballers. The Plane Ride From Hell

A couple of months old but this video from Mars makes me tingle all over, I wished to fuck I was there just walking around...sigh.

Congratulations young lady and well done Go for it and I wish when I was a bit younger and an opportunity like that came up I would have jumped at the chance but I am afraid lady luck never came my way in years gone by.
