Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I forgot to mention in my recap of the other day what happened when I went to pick up my asthma prescription. I drove over to Welwyn, managed to get parked in the teeny tiny car park, and scampered up to the Lloyds Pharmacy. The shop was clearly in business, because the door was wedged open, but on the door was a large printed sign, in red font, which said "Due to sickness, we have no Pharmacist today and therefore will not be dispensing any prescriptions all day".

I scowled, looked down the length of the shop to the open pharmacy which was just dispensing a prescription to another and thought "Ah...." So I went down to the desk, gave my name to the nice lady serving me so she could get my prescription and then said "Errr you do know there's a sign on the door that says you're not dispensing today, right?" There was bemused silence for about two seconds and then all three members of staff doubled up laughing.

"Oh dear!" said my nice assistant. "I'd best take that down, that was from yesterday! You'll have to excuse us, it's been one of those days!"

So that was a nice moment :)

A while back, there was a website being plugged everywhere called "213 Things Skippy Is No Longer Allowed To Do In The Army". The website went down for a while but it's returned and there are some cool additional links. Particularly Skippy's Friends which is a page of submissions from other military types listing what they're no longer allowed to do. It's brilliant! I paticularly liked #54 "I was cold" is a bad reason to be in the female barracks and #67: Do not mix fake fangs and dress inspections.
