Fuck me im thick please make me feel better.

I decided to share a bottle of wine with my lovely husband this evening, he poured, I went to go and get another glass. I don’t know what to say! We both knew we go through wine fast in the house but we can make a bottle of wine last 2 days if we take it home from a restaurant.

Why did it never occur to me to check how much wine our wine glasses hold? He’s used 2 375ml bottles of wine for 2 glasses. BECAUSE THATS HOW MUCH OUR WINE GLASSES HOLD!! Im horrified!! I’m already dying of stage 4 cancer so it won’t do much harm to me but to him!!

This one glass of wine is an entire 375ml of wine and it’s been a really really bad day so I’ve already finished the glass. Fuck me!

WIBU to not check how much wine our wine glasses hold? He always pours the wine (he’s the aficionado) and he always pours it to that level. we’ve probably annihilated bottles of wine in 2 glasses!

This is a problem for the fuckit bucket OP. But now you know remember to buy extra bottles of wine next time,

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, I hope the surgery goes as well as possible.

🤣🤣 I did worry I’d get ‘you’re an alcoholic. We only drink 20ml of wine between us ‘ 🤣

I read before that a 750ml bottle is the size of the average lung full of air so that’s the size the glass bottle blowers settled on. I don’t know if that’s true though!

Enjoy the wine and wishing you all the best x x

OP if that doesn’t deserve a ginormous glass of wine I do not know what does! Keep on trucking

I am so sorry to hear about diagnosis 😔 but those are rookie numbers 😳 I may have a drinking problem.

I’m teetotal but in your position I’d be drinking everything in sight. Agree with DH it’s a one off.

Wishing you well with your treatment.

I love Whispering Angel. Given you deserve all the wine after your news ( 💐 )check out the Aldo dupe. Sainte Victoire. It’s half the price and almost as good!

Considering the day you have had, stop looking at measurements / glass sizes and just enjoy your drink! I would be drinking way more than 375ml of wine if I knew that was ahead of me!

Very best of luck with the operation, I’m sure you are in safe hands 🙏

Fuck it OP drink alllll the wine you like in those circumstances. I really really hope your surgery goes well x

One of the reasons they are 750ml everywhere is because of the EU. Austria were planning on making their bottles 700ml but then realised they needed 750ml to export to Germany and France. It became the standard for all aspiring countries. One of the first standardisations of the EU I believe.

I've heard in such circumstances 400ml is the minimum glass size so you've underpoured I'm afraid.

On a more serious note, I wish you the very best for recovery OP. You sound like someone I'd be glad to know as you deal with this horrible news with such good humour.

Maybe she's off sick with cancer and decided to get her nails done...

I didn't know you could have your pancreas removed.

I work in theatres. You know we ‘look’ but don’t ‘see’.

I’m sorry you’ve had bad news, but I know your theatre colleagues (and everyone else) will take great care of you. I would be tempted to write something funny on my body thought that they can see when they prep and drape you 😜

You deserve all the wine, I hope your surgery goes smoothly. 🤞

Oh give over, who pissed on your chips today?!

Ooh you SHOULD!

Surgeons cannot have long fake nails. Just stating the obvious.

And as I said maybe she treated herself because she's off sick with cancer.

Exactly, I don’t drink, my choice, not yours, you’ve a lot to cope with, and we don’t live perfect lives, most of us.
Life is full of the unexpected, have no regrets, my motto in life, love , friends and laughter, hopefully you have that too , now

You deserve more wine. Get more!

As for colleagues seeing you naked, I agree with whoever said that it’s a well known fact that you become invisible when your eyes are closed.

I might have a glass with you I also pour large amounts and I have no excuse

Bloody hell your glasses must be big OP. I have a 375ml bottle of wine in front of me right now (which I intend to drink all of, for no reason other than I fancy it) and my glass would run over if I tried to pour it all in at once.

Best of luck for your surgery x

You know what? They bloody can if they're on sick leave due to cancer ! RTFT

I'm sorry. They'll def be the best to look after you. If you're at Kings the anaesthetists are all super super lovely and will take fab care of you!

Let your anaesthetist know up front whether you just want them to "get on with it". As an anaesthetist I've often had colleagues I've gassed for cancer surgery before that have said "just knock me out asap" so there's less time to think/stress, we can cannulate on the ward and have the pumps pre-programmed so can go o2 > asleep (assuming you don't need awake lines for comorbidities sake)

Try your best to remember all your success stories, I know when I have had family had ops, my brain defaults to the hairy cases...not the millions and millions of people that we operate on all the time that do amazing!

All the best xx

Drink up @sellotapechicken , best wishes for the op 🥂💐
