Quote: Leevil @ September 29 2009, 3:03 PM BSTI saw someone wearing a pink, yellow and blue tracksuit. I could only stand there and watch. They don't prepare you for those kind of horrors.
Was it ironic? If it was and in, say Hoxton, it's perfectly legal. You soon get hardened to that sort of thing.
I think I might just go back to the launderette.

I hope it's not one of those dodgy drycleaners that spray on a bit of Frabeze on your suit and warp it in plastic? We're trying to get those metal hangers banned too. It's called Crawford's Law after Joan.
Roo has a very sick doggy rolled up in a blanket 
She wouldn't eat because she had just recovered from a stomach bug and has got to the point she is hungry but too poorly to eat. She has been force fed a salty soft boiled egg as requested by the vet so that's me in the poo.

I've never heard of that one before. What did the vet say it would do?
Danny is frazzled and stressed but has shepherds pie.. something in his life is going right just now.
By the looks of her on the bed, I'll be sleeping on the floor tonight! She really did scare me, she was shaking badly because she was so weak. She is wrapped up in my monkey fleece snuggled up with Porky, her piglet. She likes my bed because I have a NASA matress!
I feel I've been possessed by Ruby this afternoon. I've, so far; walked into a walk, probably bruising my arm and have just bitten my tongue quite hard for some reason. 
I hurt.

Well the vet said that the stomach bug was over and what was making her ill was the fact that she had got to a point where she was so hungry, she felt sick so she wouldn't eat and it is a bit of a catch 22. She needs to eat in order to get better because she has probably lost a lot of protein and salt but she won't eat because it makes her feel sick so they said to soft boil an egg, mush it up with some salt, and force feed her the mush. It seems to have worked, she has stopped shaking and while at first she resisted, she did end up allowing me to feed her the egg.
Our vet is a bit bonkers but very good.

She had a stomach bug but seems to be over that, it's just the fact she is weak from hunger but she has got to a point that food makes her feel sick. The only thing we can do is get her to eat.

I was looking at something else and walked, sideways, into it squishing my arm. At a fair pace too, which is why it hurt so much. The wall is just above waist height on me, so I don't feel a complete div.
Just 90%.
