Just got a call off my Dad

"Can you talk?"

"um, yeah, briefly, why what's up?"

"Are you sitting down?"

"... err yeah, what's going on?" Now I'm thinking something awful has happened.

"Your Mam's in the RVI..."

 

I'm immediately expecting the worst, starting to work out what time I can get up there, do I need to go grab some clothes from home first etc.

 

"She's ok, she fell on a loose paving slab in York and has broken her jaw and maybe her wrist. Don't worry, she's laughing and joking and blaming herself for ruining everyone's day."

 

Don't worry? Maybe I wouldn't be worrying if you didn't start the fucking call in such an ominous way, you big fucking drama llama! "Are you sitting down?"?! Who fucking says that?! Why not let your breezy opening gambit be "Don't worry, everything's fine, but your mam's fallen and broken her jaw. She's fine, but I just thought you'd like to know". Rather than the 1st act of some Euripidean play.

 

Tempted to attach 2 cards to the flowers I'm sending; one for her wishing her a speedy and easy recovery, one for him with just a big greasy turd stain in it.

 

 

As an aside, they're looking into suing the council. Anyone got experience of this kind of litigation, is it worth the hassle?

Definitely if they meet the criteria and took photos or go back and take photos.

You totally got PUNK'D by Fish Sr.

 

I'd love to get revenge, but he's turning 70 soon, I'm worried I'd hurry him into the arms of the Grim Reaper.

When I had my accident my parents were told by a home based major coming to the door in his dress uniform.

 

My mum just about passed out when she opened it.

:lol: Of course you have an "extremely litigious aunt".

Honestly man, I'd not be surprised if she has the Small Claims Court on speed dial.

 

Every other month she's complaining about a neighbour, or a local bar, or whomever. I think she's just bored.
