I've not actually watched it for many years now, and that catchphrase is all I remember of it!
For those who don't know, it's the character Victor Meldrew from the British TV series,
One Foot in the Grave… 😆

Aw sorry to hear. I really want to make an inappropriate joke now via gif but only Brits would understand it most likely 😆
Here goes anyway!

Thanks you're a proper goodun 💜👍🏻
I think I'll be ok but I really gotta take better care of myself either way.
This feels like my final chance in ways I can't describe.

So I'll get myself checked out best as possible. I suspect I've had a small stomach ulcer with a slow bleed caused by all the drinking.
If so I'll be ok in a while.
I'm already taking Amoxicillin at the moment, as well as the possibly Backfiring Metronidazole and the medical grade antacid Omeprazole

My mum is here at my flat, she's a retired nurse. My dad is a retired GP. I'm in the best hands possible back at theirs, which is very fortunate.
I also know enough to know, that if I show signs of a severely bleeding stomach ulcer, I need to go to hospital. So far things have been merely unpleasant

Afternoon. I'm sorry for worrying good people about my health lately & all year.
I just don't think at times before I speak.
I'll be going back to my parents place tomorrow, to see my GP soon as possible.
I suspect my recent problems have been caused by the antibiotic Metronidazole I got for my face

Meanwhile "weed" only became illegal in the USA due to the feds being Racist against Black Americans and Mexicans.
Yes really.
Reefer Madness was a Rightwing propaganda campaign aimed at invoking anti-USSR sentiment but fundamentally RACIST.
Meanwhile spice and monkey dust are far worse for health?!

Meanwhile if smokers want it legalised, stop being complete dicks and you've more chance of it happening sooner rather than later.
Don't antagonise your neighbours.
Keep it away from schools and children.
Don't smoke it on a double decker bus FFS.
Be the responsible smokers you claim you are, fools.

Just pondering the UK weed "problem".
What are individual police officers supposed to do, when there's people like me smoking perfectly legal CBD products, which smell the same to anyone except cannabis connoisseurs, or people with private prescriptions?
Every pothead arrested is a felony not solved

This Labour Government is stepping up to help those who need it most this winter.

They will provide immediate help for children and families in temporary accommodation, as we work to end homelessness for good.

That’s the con corbyn gets away with. During the Blair and Brown years he voted against Labour more than some Tory MPs.

He’s a popularist, says what you want to hear. It’s all about him, he’ll do anything for a headline, meeting with terror organisations like Hamas for instance.

My favourite is him blaming the west, NATO and Ukraine for Putin annexing Crimea at gunpoint with fake referenda in the morning star.
I used to be in the Corbyn Did Nothing Wrong CULT until life snapped me out of it.
They erase Mo Mowlam, and act like Dear Leader St. Jeremy brought peace to Ireland!
