F.A.O salla

[sqad617]

Hi salla, how did the break go ? You haven't missed much....death threats for dot Hawkes, Joy in the firing line (predictable) Beatrice coming on a treat and me in trouble with some woman over my insensitivty to a woman about to go into labour( also predictable LOL Welcome back.

[ummmm]

What? Were you suppose to feel sorry for her?

[sqad617]

ummm...are you talking about the woman in labour?

[Bbbananas]

Why does dot incite such hatred? Why does Joy think she's being particularly picked on? And you - in trouble over insensitivity? Never!!!

I had a fantastic break - Brighton, Chichester, Itchenor, Cowes, Yarmouth & Freshwater Bay. There was an Old Gaffer's 50th anniversary rally in Yarmouth - lots of live music, festivities & dancing (yes - I got up on the table giving it some to Rolling Stones' numbers. Again.) And with the sunshine thrown in - all in all a good time was had by all. Plus - one big bonus; I have returned with no injuries whatsoever - no holes in ring fingers, no scalds, no near-drownings. Result.

LOL LOL...less of the "old Gaffers"

[ummmm]

Yea.

[sqad617]

ummm...I think I probably deserved it.........women, labour babies etc..not my speciality, but basically her waters had broken and she was asking if she was in labour and I replied "Does it matter?" meaning does it matter that your waters have broken as it is not an indication of onset of labour.

Anyway,,,this poster, gave my a mouthful.......LOL

[Bbbananas]

You were lucky you weren't given a mouthful of placental fluid....

Old Gaffers indeed... there were some very fine specimens of young gaffers there also... And they can all do a very acceptable Irish Jig. There was a fantastic caribbean steel band. I had a go at the limbo,,,,, how I wish I hadn't. Not a good look at my age to be stuck in that unflattering position for so long. Plaid walked off....

[sqad617]

LOL...I don't blame him...LOL

[Bbbananas]

.. or amniotic fluid. Haven't got my medical head back on yet.

How's your head sqad? Perked up on my return?!!!!

[rinkins]

Welcome back salla!!

Hey sqad, how was snooker?!

[sqad617]

rinkins...won 3-0..made my highest break ever of 37.

salla..Dof G has been in contact with mrs sqad, but hasn't spilled the beans....................not that there was any beans to spill !!!!!!!!!!!

[rinkins]

Result!!! (About the snooker I mean LOL)

[sqad617]

rinkins.......you are a very chheky girl LOL

[rinkins]

Moi? LOL

[Bbbananas]

Mmm... beans may not have been spilt. But was anything else spilt?

[sqad617]

Spilt? anything else spilt?...........that is a dificult question to have to "swallow" salla.

[Bbbananas]

Oh, it's nice to be back among likeminded friends....!

You wouldn't have walked off like Plaid would you? You'd more than likely have stayed to take 'advantage' of the position I was in. (Good job I had jeans on & not a skirt. It would have given the gaffers a coronary).

[Robinia]

Oh dear, it was a week ago & 'some woman' is still on your mind Sqad? Well asking a woman who was worried that she was in premature labour whether it mattered beggared belief ...it wasn't the first time you'd given the 'no big deal' type reply to a problem that was a very big deal to the person concerned.
Some of us don't like seeing people's genuine concerns & experiences being belittled.

[Bbbananas]

I must admit sqad, I do have to agree with Robinia. A women in labour, especially if it's her first (which I'm assuming it is as I didn;t read the thread), is very vulnerable, anxious and wants reassurance & help. "Does it matter" indeed.... what are you like man? Hold your head in shame. ;-( You would have been a very reassuring partner at a birthing bedside wouldn't you?!!! You'd be the sort that sneaked off for a KFC, the daily telegraph & a crafty kip.

[sqad617]

Robinia /salla...that is the whole point...."SHE WASN'T IN LABOUR"

Robinia.....sorry,.......friends?
