Younger generation

[Jaws]

They think they are SOOOO clever and folk my age are just thick as shit
Canna say I remember signs like this being needed on petrol pumps



Orrrrrrrr... In the hand book of one of my daughter cars.

WARNING:
Do not drink the contents of the battery

Hand books of yesteryear explained how to change oil and adjust tappets
Now there is 20 pages on how to work the radio. 4 pages on pumping up the tyres and even 2 pages on adjusting the seat!

Warning on a packet of peanuts: “warning, may contain nuts & trigger an allergic reaction”

Yarp...Some silly signs out there.

Well there might be. Despite the name, peanuts aren't a nut. They are a legume like peas.

Stand by! Dirks touchpaper truly lit.

Maybe but I’ve never known anyone go into anaphalactic shock through eating peas.

I've known someone go into anaphylactic shock while having a pee.

And sitting on an iron railing spike

The world is gone madder

Known someone go into shock from a bee sting, pretty damn scary to be honest

They say as climate is getting warmer nasty spiders are arriving - as in bites will make you ill

What, are they claiming to be refugees and crossing the Channel in dinghies now, too?

 

[Dark Angel]

I've known someone go into anaphylactic shock while having a pee.

...And you also know someone who went into anaphylactic shock when he saw your new sig-pic...

As Mick the knife (remember him?) will testify with a swollen foot after being bitten by a false widow, (spider, not a woman pretending her husband is dead)

 

[andyBeaker]

I,was,off work for over a week after being stung on a knuckle by a wasp that triggered cellulitis. My right arm resembled Popeye‘s. Flipping painful.

Give me spiders over "refugees" any day. I quite like spiders, they do useful work keeping the fly population down.

Am I the only one who picks them up and moves them out of harms way...? Even got the wife doing it.

Nope, we do that as well, Bev even picks worms off the pavement & puts them on soil or grass

I usually eat the worms, unless the wife gets to them first.

I'm not laughing at MtK getting bitten, it was your comment about the false widow. I burst out laughing!

Yep, I pick spiders up and lob them out, too. Wasps, bees, etc., too. The only thing I willingly squash are flies, bastard things.

A colleague's sister living in London got bitten a good few years ago, don't know what it was, but she was very seriously ill.
I think she was disabled as a result.

She would have died except that a doctor who had worked abroad recognised the symptoms.


They suspect it was in fruit in the supermarket.
