Junkies - again

I hate junkies, more now than ever. It’s not good enough that they put their own lives and the lives of their families and children at risk, but they have recently(today) branched out into threatening council plumbers.

Yes, I got stuck today by a needle, a bent one, I have been informed this is how the junkies determine if it’s one that’s been used or not, meaning it had.

By the time you figure in the blood test, tetanus and hepatitisB(ouch) needles, results in four needless needle pricks. Not to mention that this just cost my employer(the cooncil) money in lost time, as well as the NHS in drugs and time. Note that both are funded with public money, which means that WE paid for my afternoon. I don’t appreciate being forced into spending needless amounts of cash(I guess it’s the Scotsman in me) I’m sure those reading this don’t either.

Now I have a wait on my hands to get the test results back and be given the all clear. OK, the chances are slim that I have caught anything major but I’m still a little worried about it. I’m not the kind of person who gets stressed out easily, but this is trying on me a little.

Apparently my arm is going to stiffen up this evening with the HepB jab being STRAIGHT INTO THE MUSCLE!! So I’m typing this before I lose the ability.

I don’t generally publish the addresses of the houses in which I work in my plumbing blog, but this isn’t that blog so…..

To the previous tenant of 24 Ritchie Place, Tillidrone, Aberdeen,

You are a useless junkie bastard, giving myself and my family undue stress by your blatant disregard for the proper disposal of your paraphernalia. I am not against the use of drugs by addicts. I am against reckless endangerment of others who are not engaging in that activity.I couldn’t give a toss if you OD(or indeed have already OD’d) satisfying your need for a fix. I do care when my girlfriend and my children are forced, by your inappropriate actions, into a worrying situation which needn’t have been.

You can rot.

I haven’t told the kids and I am not going to, they wouldn’t understand anyhow. What gets people into drug misuse? I can’t understand it really, I mean I was always told to say no to drugs. I can’t imagine anyone telling someone to say yes, so how does it start? Is the carelessness ingrained at the same time? Cunts.billy

Reclaiming Bank Charges-again!

I’ve been on Martin Lewis’s Money Saving Expert site recently quite a lot. One thing is disturbing me. The amount of people who are accepting partial payments from their banks!

Whats up with that? If they are partially paying out they will pay out in full. People are losing thousands of pounds by not seeing it through/chickening out early.

Relax people, you will get your money back, your bank WILL NOT see you in court. You are losing loads of money by accepting these near offers.

For anyone who hasn’t claimed yet(in Scotland) heres how….

It couldn’t be simpler. Get your cash back now - and DO NOT accept partial offers, after all, would the bank accept only partial payment of their charges? I think not.

My girlfriend is trying to kill me

This is a long term thing, not a recent development however. She is devious about it, perhaps she doesn’t want me to know (although the “I am going to kill you one night in your sleep,” statements are a bit of a clue.) There are the numerous, “Watch, it’s hot” incidents. The “foot shut in the car door” incident, among others…

One such display of this ‘will to hurt billy’ is displayed in the following picture…

Can you spot the problem here, need a hint? OK, I wanted to fill the kettle once the dishes were done…That’s right, the fekkin cheese grater is knuckle losingly close to the cold tap….

Teeth

I’ve had toothache for about a year now, using various pills and ointments to keep it at bay… well I had new, opposite side of the mooth, toothache over the New Year, specifically Hogmanay itself. I was down in Ayrshire though, which turned out to be a benefit rather than a hinderance, so I found after I called NHS24 for advice.

Abuse them and lose them!

I was allocated a slot next day at Crosshouse Hospital and the tooth was promptly whupped oot.

This then posed the problem of having to eat on my existing toothached side. Nothing pleasant there then.

Now in a one person dies as one is born-esque way, ashley cut her first tooth yesterday. I hope she has more luck with them than I have with mine. Her biting has already annoyed me though as her ‘fang’ is deathly sharp!

I can’t state enough how important good dental hygeine is for your overall health. Toothache is gowping. When people say things like, “Aye there’s nothin worse than insert thing here” I always reply, “toothache is worse” and it is.

I have never been good with my teeth regime. Brushing when I remember instead of twice a day. Eating all the wrong foods. Not attending the dentist. Now I’m cashing in the rewards of this life of neglect. and it hurts.

Incidentally on this subject, I found Orajel in tesco(danestone) yesterday, I used this stuff in the states and it kicks the ass of anything else for toothache. Benzocaine kicks ass!
