Continuing Rant Thread - Get it Off Ya Chest here

[bradsbrew]

I think, at that age, it implies the fact that the victim survived. If you said "Grandma fell over" you have no indication if the poor old dear lived to watch another episode of Dancing with the Stars. But when you say "Grandma had a fall" you immediately think she also had a boiled egg for brekkie, had her meds, or had a win at bingo. No disrespect to Grandma BTW, hope she's doing well.


And you really should give her a call more often.

I disagree, if i was told that Granny fell over in the chook pen I would think exactly that, she fell over but all is fine. If i was told Granny had a fall, I would be worried.

It becomes an event with 'Had a Fall' - agreed BB.

When do you ever here - "Oh, my 5 yo had a fall"

 

[Camo6]

I'm just impressed Gran still keeps chooks at her age. Good on er.

 

[Cocko]

Really? You need to be heard? Are you blind?

****.

Me too. It's like police training. Aim for the biggest target and fire away. Though all too often I tempt fate and walk the rim.

[barls]

Really it use to be interesting when they would take the car off the showroom floor rip the interior add a roll cage. And race it. Not this. I'll change manufacturers and just change three panels it's become

Do you have a ping pong ball floating in there to amuse yourself, and something to aim at.

That's a trick for party time at your house. Almost no male can resist the temptation to go for the little floating ball, ergo most of the P will go into the bowl rather than the surrounds !

glow in the dark floaty ball...nuff said

Good morning, Insuranceline, you are speaking with Chantelle.

Hello, my name is Danny and a mate tells me I can get life insurance over the phone, is that right?

That's right Danny, all I need is your age and your smoking status

Oh, I'm 39 and I'm a non-smoker......

LYING TURDS

You are not Chantelle and he is not Danny, you are fecking actors and the real facts are:

The woman (Morag) is heroin addicted and on parole, but has conned her way into a gig with an acting agency
The man is actually called Alistair, is doing the gig as he can't do his planned porno due to sudden herpes breakout. He has no interest in life insurance as his boyfriend is a stockbroker who is going to leave his entire estate to him when he dies of AIDS (prognosis 2016) and Alistair has no interest in wasting good money on insurance to benefit his scumbag Exclusive Brethren family who disowned him and threw him into the street when he came out.

Word of warning - if you do take out life insurance and sadly pass away, a man called Brent is going to be delighted because he's been shagging your mrs on the quiet for the last five years and they are looking forward not only to your insurance payout but also the proceeds of the house. Wow brakes suddenly feel a bit spongy and you are only half way down the Tooowoomba range on a wet night. Might have to take the car back to that Brent's Brakes the wife recommended for the last service.

One of only positive things I can see from the demise of the Australian automotive industry is the range of models being imported will increase significantly. Although we still won't have anywhere near the variety of optional extras and powertrains available in Europe or America. We are, after all, a penal colony on the far side of the earth.

This in no way is a good thing. Other than price competing, it makes hell in all other areas.

Hi, my name's Brent h34r:

 

[jyo]

Ok,

Riddle me this;

When the **** do you go from 'Falling over' to 'Having a Fall' - WTF?

It seems it is about 70... so my mum tells me Grandma has 'Had a Fall' - Its like it becomes an event, really? I 'HAD' a **** the other day - Did I **** or have a ****?

Surely it is called falling over or fell over - why is 'Had a Fall' applied after someone is of a certain age? Oh, she has had a fall...

I tripped on a miss levelled garden tile the other day, did I trip, fall over or HAVE A FALL?


****.

Mate, I guess we can apply the same logic to other things as we age. For example, I did a poo this morning. When I'm 90, I may 'have ' a poo. Or 'some' poo. And at any particular given time.

I suppose the ownership and intent of the said task is taken away from you as you age.
I fell. I had a fall.

I just 'did' a wee.

I think I 'have' some wee.

You know it makes sense.

ps- and I hope your Nan's ok, mate.

 

[goomboogo]

When a person is in their nineties, a poo is an Event.
