Today I'm angry about.....

[Lord Kangana]

Apparently I can't advise boris on what to take, and the board has locked me out. 404 from my server. Thank goodness for anonymouse.

Sorry boris.

Ma Keogh - Our school nurse would have given him two aspirin and told him not to be so soft.

[Lord Kangana]

Spent 3 days with a broken shoulder, arm, and dislocated shoulder with only paracetamol.

I would wish this on nobody.

That's just plain silly.

My shoulders dislocate - that's painful enough on its own.

I was in Andorra. Private Healthcare at its best, they wouldn't risk prescribing me anything for fear of me suing them. Even with insurance. You know, the extra-good gold insurance you buy because you think it means anything. And it still cost me an extra £200 for the x-rays. Which they wouldn't do until I could prove I could pay. Cash. I couldn't, as I'm not in the habit of carrying that amount of cash when out ski-ing.. Luckily the Hotel guide lent me. They did, however, give me a classical benzodiazepine. Bizarrely. I ditched this and went and bought some aspirin. It didn't help.

That might be an option in the morning.. If it carries on feeling like somebody is shaving the skin off of my legs! Very strange feeling.. I'd imagine there's a few people who hjave fractured shins on here

Is pins and needles, a swollen foot and sore skin (like prickly heat) a pretty common complaint?

Go to A&E you madman! You could be doing more damage. That is what A&E is there for.

[Lord Kangana]

Aye. They were great with me when I got home, and gave me a sackfull of drugs.

Piss-taking gypsies. I'm all for letting them live their lifestyle, but the sneaky, devious way certain members of their community go about their business is fecking infuriating in the extreme.

Do tell. I'm intrigued.

There is a bit of green belt land vaguely in our vicinity. A group of gypsies (I genuinely don't know the differences between 'gypsies', 'travellers' etc, but the press refer to the folks in question as 'gypsies'). Now this group (not large, two or three families) bought the land claiming they intended to build stables on it. Then, they waited for a bank holiday weekend (when the council can't be arsed for an extra day) to move onto this land, built a wall and gateposts, permanent caravan booths, and locked themselves in. They then retrospectively applied for planning permission for all this work. That in itself is a piss-take. This planning permission was turned down, then an eviction notice was ordered, which ordered them to return the land to how it was found, and leave. They ignored this, and the police have done nothing. In the meantime they have submitted fresh planning permission was a very slightly tweaked application, basically a time-buying deal, and continue to take the piss.

There was a petition to the council recently which I was reluctant to sign, given I feel a lot of the stick in the community that goes there was is just anti-'gypo' stuff, which I really don't like. The council (not sure if it is Lancashire county, or the smaller, more local one) is legally obliged to provide them with a site, which they haven't, and a lot of the furore seems to be a 'we don't want their sort around here, houseprices houseprices' thing, which I think is bollocks, but the way this group have been allowed to take the piss on planning permission issues does my nut. Not only that, having flouted all planning permission laws, the fact that people object because they are taking the piss on planning permission laws isn't allowed to be considered in terms of rejecting their appeal. The reason I did sign the petition (in terms of reasons on the petition) is because it is green belt land, in a beautiful part of the world, and nobody should be allowed to build on it.

The very worst impact of a liberal society is that people can take those well meant positions and use them to piss all over you.

You are, of course, not permitted to hold these views as the very society whose values you are attempting to uphold you will upbraid you for them.

If you play by society's rules you should be able to use them. If you step out of them, then fck you.

In my very own, very humble, opinion of course.

there is actually an issue to be addressed over access to land for gypsies and "travelling showmen" sites. I would stand 100% beside you in your bellicose stance in favour of the upkeep of planning law IF anything close to a level playing field were in operation. Gypsy sites and travelling showmen sites are routinely blocked and opposed in almost every place where they are proposed where "non-gypsy" (for want of a better description) developments would be granted planning permission without comment. Councils have for decades reneged on their statutary duty to provide/set aside appropriate sites for such development...

so - when gypsies stop by the road - or on waste-land - or on common-land - yes, they often do it illegally - but, quite often (not always) they do it because they don't really have much of an option.

given that situation - I reckon most of us would become expert at operating on the edges of the law and seeing what i could get away with... (many non-gypsies also use retrospective planning permission loopholes for massive house extensions and the the like - it is a startlingly common tactic... I'm sure it makes Pru very cross.)

In fairness it definitely would. I don't know who I'm more pissed off at (this is the angry thread) the piss taking loophole exploiting cause-not-helping gypsies with their charm front (apparently lovely people in real life, media savvy) or the can't be arsed wonky council, or the piss taking retrospective bollocks planning laws, or the pseudo prejudiced we hate gypsies but cant say cnuts. If it helps, I hate them all. Deeply.

Wouldn't be allowed on planet hoboh!! Just saying like

[Annoyed Grunt]

That for the past few days the weather has been good, but now I have a day off it's pissing down.

[Gooner Girl]

It's lovely down here in Sussex, might even get my bikini out and sunbathe in the garden later! not that I wish to rub it in or anything! Enjoy your day off anyway! What you got planned?

[Annoyed Grunt]

Just got a day off with my lad, intended on going to the park with his bike, but with the weather........

Currently watching Phineas and Ferb

14 yrs of driving - nothing, then 2 speeding tickets in 2 weeks!

was caught doing 37 and 39mph through Edgeworth. FFS

This was my fault granted but its when i read stuff like this http://www.burytimes.co.uk/news/burynew ... et/?ref=mr" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; that makes me angry, picking on me going to work trying to earn a living when these scumbags are walking the streets!



this country!

[Prufrock]

Fair enough at the being angry at the shithouses jumping a dad with kid, not sure on the relevance to the speeding thing. Do we find the most horrendous thing anyone has got away with and let off everyone who has done less? Speeding thing is just one of those things. There are some that are clearly wrong/stupid, at both ends of the spectrum, but can't really complain if you get caught red-handed!

[Prufrock]

Though in fairness, tis the angry thread, so....fair enough.

[General Mannerheim]

police camped on quiet country lanes in unmarked police cars when there are more serious crimes going unsolved... is i suppose what i meant.

[Lord Kangana]

A guy got six weeks today for throwing a shaving foam pie. Rather than it just being laughed off as the actions of a bit of a bell end. I agree our priorities are all wrong. I hope Ken Clarke has something to say about this, seeing as he's going to clog the system up even more by appealing.

Like the last comment in the Bury times said seems a bit odd a random attack in day light or was the "innocent" victim involved in something and not all sweetness and light? shame the kids were there
