Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Even my GP had to ask for a person that could speak to someone more versed in the English language when she had to get permission for a 6 mth script for me.

Dottie,
Your doctor speaks in verse?
I guess things could be worse.
You could find out
You need to shout,
Coz deafness is her curse.

I wonder if they needed an interpreter for a pommy Kiwi that had spent part of her life in Victoria ;) We live in a multicultural society Dottie, I would have thought you would have accepted that by now ..... imagine if you went back to England today ..... even people who were born a few hundred kms away at the most speak a language only a local could understand, there are a lot more races living there now than those of United Kingdom heritage ....

If the person giving important info can not speak English then they should NOT be in that job if that is racist then that is too dam bad. These off shore call places have no need to be here.

3 moles were scurrying down a narrow tunnel, the first mole said "I smell sugar", the second one said "I smell honey", the third said “I smell molasses.”
