Get her a new phone too then run away. She’ll be left with 2 inoperable pieces of technology and no idea on how to utilize them to contact you so you can instruct her on how to use them lol.

People who can’t be arsed to use punctuation in their posts. It makes things take twice as long to read.

How hard is it to put a full stop at the end of each sentence? Seems to be mostly Americans at the moment too for some reason. Don’t they teach grammar in schools over there?

To be fair the standards of English (discounting obvious differences) are no worse either side of the pond. This is most likely caused by the increasing use of portable devices with smaller or non existent keyboards to access forums, where the punctuation marks require shifting to a different layout to get at. its still a bit lazy and also means the overall quality of content can reduce as people’s attention spans weaken…

My back just went again. Owch, no opiates to help, just a fucking ensuing hangover and not enough alcohol to kill a rhino, so shit’s looking pretty grim for today. I’m blessed with having good music to listen to though, and thankfully I have a shit hot pair of speakers to listen to it on! Life isn’t so bad after all. 🙂

will be 2 weeks before my doc’s see me, unless I goto the emergency nurse, and she can only prescribe co-codamol, what barely effects me in them doses, not with pain like this, I need tranquilizer doses. :/
