good on yer BC <3 :-D... an apology can go a long way to giving peace of mind....ie not letting situation fester.......and being pushed in a hospital makes it appear even worse imo so :-0 hope you tapped firmly? ;-)

Hayley, you have the makings of a Grumpy Old Gal. Soon you will progress to giving verbals.

I was pushed aside as I was leaving a lift in the hospital the other day. So I followed the woman and tapped her on the shoulder. 'you pushed me' I said politely 'Why'? She was mortified, well I THINK she was as I could only see her eyes. Then she said 'sorry' so I said 'that's ok but don't do that again'. I felt great! :-D :-D :-D

I would just hate that Hayley :-|.... must say one of the joys of being retired is that we can travel on bus or metro when the little darlings are all at school :-) used to like to take the car up but parking is such a pain that it's easier to use our passes :-D....I sound like I'm gettting real grumpy in me auld age ;-)...am not really <3

I can listen in stereo :-D

I do like to listen whist I having to travel on the bus which I HATE doing, especailly our local bus which is mostly full of yobs and young girls that you just want to slap. I wear my bus face is a a cross between :-( and :-| and nornally sends out the message " please do not and try to engage me in conversation I do not know you " and then I have my bus glare which I normally use early in the morning when some bus yob is playing loud noises from his mobile phone which he thinks is music. I also use it to people who announce to the bus in their loud big gobs that they are " up in court this morning init" why do they feel the need to brag about it why are they not hanging their heads in shame and full of remorse.... so they get oneof my bus glares with an added turn up of the nose roll of the eyes and a little snort. :-D Infact most of the buses I use you are lucky to get off still wearing your shoes :-(

while travelling up to town (Newcastle).


Two old ladies....even older them me ;-)...one said to other, "eeh I think when men retire after working all their life,that they should have counselling.Cos when Tom retired he didn't know what to do with his time,he just sits around."
Other replied "does he not have any hobbies like to keep him active?".......reply "oh yes he likes to listen to his records and that."

Bet his wife could give him something active to do lolol it certainly made me smile and btw I wasn't 'cocking me lugs' (sorry Geordie expression ;-) )....they were talking quite loudly. :-D :-D
