A Boots Epiphany

Same reason you can only buy little boxes of 16.

Like you wouldn't just steal them if you were going to top yourself.

Why has everything gone mad? Why can't stuff just work properly?

Could it be because Andy Hornby, the guy who smashed HBOS into the rocks, has just taken over at Boots?...

We are getting too many stupid rules 'cause of this lot

and the ever creeping compensation culture in this country.
Don't blame Boots...blame the stupid legal system.

And here was me thinking of using them to sue the council over and unlit traffic island,
I felt i deserved to sue them-18 months of neck pain from whiplash,makes it difficult when the injury was no the same side as the hand i use for the mouse
Dont knock blame culture or... blame blame
Take responsibility for riding into a concrete island that it painted black and is unlit in the middle of the road..............
.............Are You MAD :shock:

Somewhat out of context there fella..... :roll:

Within the context of the thread it would be something like....

My ex-girlfriend is seriously ill in hospital because she took an overdose of paracetamol that the pharmacist let me buy too many of.....I'm going to sue you..
etc etc etc

we are no longer allowed to have asprin in our works van first aid kit!
we have to ask a manager for some! and only then he can give us just two!
its like my heads killing me can I have a couple for later?
NO!
why not?
in case you leave them in the van and it gets broken into and the little scrote od's on them, we are then responsible for his death!


my reply was... if I find him dead in the van? in line with our recyling policy which bin do I put him in?

I er... once pulled part of the ceiling down in KFC after I tried to yank the no smoking sign down to place in front of the two hairy bikers smoking in the corner.

The sign said 'smoking allowed in this area'.


I left never to mention it again, ever.

The days before the smoking ban made me laugh, having a no smoking area in a pub or restaurant are like having a no pissing end in a swimming pool!

Only exception is on Aeroplanes, there is plenty of evidence that the air on aeroplanes is not as "clean" since smoking was banned on flights. The air used to be filtered a lot more and the filters used to be changed a lot more too. Some even say the lack of air circulation and the lack of filter changing is helping spread virul bacteria, such as swine flu! I must say, this is the only advantage of smoking i can see, that and smoking in countries with lots of annoying biting insects, they tend to stay away from the smoke

that is so true! i forgot about that! the smoke and the mozzy's!
