Think she needs compo from whoever did her bandage too Grin

WeirdAndPissedOff · 24/07/2016 19:50

Loving the comments re the shoddy bandage!
And I'm not a doctor, but can you really break "all the ligaments" in your leg falling down a pothole?

It's a sad state when people are so grabby, though - especially when it sounds like she's done it before.

I tore a ligament in school falling down some steps - never thought to claim as it was my own fault.

The comment about 'miss croxley' the fat bride!!! Oh dear, oh dear.......

BillSykesDog · 24/07/2016 20:37

I love the way she thinks going in through a gate she shouldn't have is acceptable because she has to park either right by the entrance illegally to go through the open gate or right by the entrance legally by the gate she shouldn't use (but did).

Never even occurred to her she should park a bit further away legally and walk through the correct gate.

What on earth is the daughter wearing?!

Olddear · 24/07/2016 20:45

Some kind of camouflage 'leisurewear' and sparkly plimsolls. May be she wears that when she's on pothole patrol.

BeJayKayven · 24/07/2016 20:54

That Angry People link wahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂
Shouldn't laugh at the afflicted but,
attack goats

Namechangingme · 24/07/2016 21:01

The comments are gold on that one too !!! 😂😂😂😂

wasted way too much of my day on that page

Namechangingme · 24/07/2016 21:03

SimplyNigella · 24/07/2016 21:05

Silver me too! I am clearly over-invested here.

EmmaGrundy · 24/07/2016 21:10

Annie, I am also a FB refuser but there is a link to the web page where you can see these stories. On the LHS of the FB page.

HarryPottersMagicWand · 24/07/2016 21:10

Oh dear! Grin That is hilarious! That bandage is utterly ridiculous. I only did a basic first aid course a few years ago but even I could do a better job. Like it would even need to be on the whole of her leg! The comments are brilliant.

Tworingsandamicrowave · 24/07/2016 21:21

Am fully expecting this to be headline news in the Daily Mail tomorrow!

lougle · 24/07/2016 21:32

Those comments surpass MN quality. It's like Robot Wars in text - no prisoners.

Huppopapa · 24/07/2016 21:34

Comedy gold!
Thanks OP

Onedaftmonkey · 24/07/2016 21:40

Haven't laughed so much in ages. I particularly liked the explination of what synonym was.
I do feel for the grandaughter next term. Her life will be hell. Sad

Finding it very entertaining - especially the comments. Jack Smith obviously knows the family well!

Shizzlestix · 24/07/2016 21:53

Why was she parking there when she lives virtually opposite?

icy121 · 24/07/2016 22:13

I've looked you up in facebook and bye the way your photos are lovely especially on your wedding day but I just wanna say if you did ever fall over and someink happened to you at least you wouldn't hurt your self with all that fat you've got protectin you

Brilliant 😂😂

StarryIllusion · 24/07/2016 22:39

there is a pothole, one of many. If you are at the school every day you would have seen it. Clearly you didn't.

OrangeSquashTallGlass · 24/07/2016 22:42

Just spent a very merry ten minutes on that link. Thanks OP! obviously very sorry that she hurt herself though...

AbyssinianBanana · 25/07/2016 00:26

I have to copy the roomba exchange as the snapper comment is priceless

-TRT
Inch-high snapper strikes again! Makes me wonder what they mount the camera on nowadays to get such low angle shots... I can cross Roomba off my list of possibilities.

-Diana Martin
Watford Observer actually took the pictures

-TRT
Yes, I know that. Thank you.

AbyssinianBanana · 25/07/2016 00:29

And roomba is that robot Hoover thingie, for those wondering (like I was)

OutToGetYou · 25/07/2016 00:50

I tore some ligaments on my ankle recently, doc said not to strap it but to let them heal through use. Just saying.....

(I didn't fall down a pot hole and I didn't sue anyone)
