My thoughts on the matter have not changed.

Here's a little poem I've written to mark the occasion:

Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.
Fuck off, fuck off.
Fuck off,
Donald
You cunt.

Dunno. My last prescription is over a year old and was marked something like "this is the last one, must see doctor" 🙄. I use so little of it I can eke it out a long time. But I do need some.

😉 Might be a practice that has died out.

No your not, my grandfather, also ex RAF used to say the same thing.

Heh. The RN was in the process of binning its carriers, just to discover it still *really* needed them.

(I know you've studied this)

@daf66.bsky.social is my brain just making this up and it was, in fact, just my parents being weird?

Thanks. That might have worked pre-Brexit. These days France will be quite rightfully scrutinising everything from the UK. Thanks for the offer, though 😊.

My parents always said "vet", and thus so do I unless I'm concentrating 😅. I always assumed it was some weird British military "joke" (both were in the RAF and so was my mother's father).

France. Although I'll have to try Switzerland (I've done it before).

What knobber is down to his last few puffs of asthma medication, and can't get an appointment to see the vet (who insists on seeing me and not just issuing a repeat prescription for effectively the same stuff I've been taking since the 80s) before *27 November* 🙄.

(not NHS, I'm not in the UK)

The earliest memory I can place is the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, when I'd have been 4. I can remember it clearly because we were living in the Netherlands at the time, my father being stationed at a large NATO base, and I can remember how worried my mother was.

Well, I do weigh the same as a duck.

My daughter (18) sends me a picture of a lecture hall from university. I comment that her classmates appear to be 95% women.

Daughter: Les hommes sont pause clope.

The men are on a cigarette break 😅 🤦🏻‍♂️.
