Hazel - I know that area pretty well, I grew up nearby. The family must live near Costco? I had no idea Bushey had been affected that badly by the recent floods, how awful for the school.

I noticed some comments on the article about how she'd said she let her granddaughter bandage her leg playing doctors on a Facebook post, why she had to imply that it was done by medical practitioners in the WO I don't know.

The synonym/pseudonym comment made me actually laugh aloud, a prime example of why you need to check your facts before you try and patronise someone Grin

Grin OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG!!!!!! I'M SCREAMING! I feel awful to laugh at this, but I'm literally crying of laughter.

Scrambled - it was the 'there are two ways of spelling it' that slayed me Grin

Olddear · 26/07/2016 13:21

Where did she get the miles of crepe bandage?

Fluffycloudland77 · 26/07/2016 13:23

Pound shop. Obvs.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 26/07/2016 13:34

"Bandage courtesy of Stevie Wonder" is classic

Kato, that mattress link is AWESOME!

"What we really need here is for someone to fly-tip a ramp in the alley, so she can stunt jump over it. At least the landing will be soft if she does come off." 😂😂😂

Marysunshine · 26/07/2016 22:06

Seriously, surely the first port of call would be to your neighbour or the council to shift the thing - not to the press. Bizarre......

KatoPotato · 26/07/2016 22:43

Because the reporter or photographer couldn't have shifted it no?

Yes News Shopper appear to focus more on the hamster but it's still a human being

Hilarious! Going to spend a good part of today reading that fb page Grin

The close up of the balcony and the safety glass

The hamster threatening to call the police

The hamster photographer Grin

McChicken I stayed up way too late on that page, it's gold Grin

NeedACleverNN · 27/07/2016 08:54

Oh god why has he commented on almost every comment about the sodding hamster?

"Hamsters are human beings too"
"Couldn't have swept the glass. What if I had been hurt?" (You wasn't)

Hmm
Mcchickenbb41 · 27/07/2016 09:27

I know it's lighthearted but stories like this shows what a bunch off namby pamby twats some of society is becoming. If he can't cope with this incident I'd like to have seen his reaction when my car was broken into and I had to clear what seemed like millions off pieces of glass that covered my babies pushchair and her beautiful handmade shawl that I brought her home from hospital in. Or when Our country was bombed nightly in the war and people were having to rebuild their lives daily and their homes. ! I know I know there's always one to bring it down but dick head idiots like this really get my goat. ( or my hamster ) Grin

All the 'what ifs' in that hamster story. And the three them standing there with their arms folded to convey indignation....so funny!
