Not a problem, good lady, they're down my trousers as we speak. 
Films that make us sad. Page 15
I met a really awful old lady doctor recently in tweed and pearls who called me dear and tried to tell me when I should have more children. When explained my situation, she still said "yes dear, you might be able to make yourself look younger than you are, but bioliogically you're getting on." Bitch.
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ October 12 2009, 1:53 AM BSTOooo, I've still got my Pyschoville DVD to watch.
I find certain of pieces of music can be far, far sadder than a film, especially if I feel I'm being manipulated too much by the director (Spielberg).
You will be in for a treat. I thought it was very entertaining.
Yes, music does it for me, also. Depending quite a lot on my mood. Sometimes I turn the sound off and the film is suddenly not quite such a tear jerker, after all.

I did watch it when it was on, but have forgotten most of it now.

Are you typing with your tongue?

My tongue? Yes, that's it. My tongue, yes, of course. 
(Longhand typing, of course.)

Bitch sounds about right.
I can't smoke and type.

She was very old school.

In my early days as a doctor I worked as Senior House Officer to a really old-school physician, Dr (name withheld), who typically managed to insult at least 10 patients per ward round. He was always commenting on their weight particularly, telling one patient "I'd like to send you to Auschwitz for a couple of months", for example. He used to ask girls/women whom he suspected of eating disorders, "Are you a naughty princess?". I won't even recount what he said to some of the attempted overdose patients.
I used to spend hours going back and apologising to all these patients on his behalf after he's swanned off. Twas a nightmare job. 
I get ash all over the keyboard. As well as spill coffee, drop crumbs from my sandwich. Sometimes all at once.

That's quite funny in a sad way. 
I love completely insensitve people. I kind of envy their lack of worry about such things.
I mean 'love' as in 'can't f**king believe their nerve'.

Yeah, but having to go round to perfectly pleasant patients with minor pneumonias and try to 'explain' Dr B's comment that they "will be dead in 5 years if you don't lose weight" was quite a difficult task.

I've had dealings with Dr namewitheld. He was grumpy, pompous and not at all good at putting me at ease. I told him what I thought was wrong with me. That was a mistake. He proceeded to tell me, "I am the doctor, not you, I tell you, you don't tell me".

I had a brilliant (that's brilliant as complete dickhead) consultant come and break some bad news to me by chatting about everything else in the room, pointing to something out of the window and as I turned to look, he said his bit and ran away! I looked over and could just see the ward door flapping.
And it turned out he was wrong anyway.

Did you ever see the creepy doctor in the third series of League if Gentlemen?
