Sorry to hear that Jo. Not sure us blokes really truly understand what women go through emotionally or what to say, even when it happens to our better halves. Your manager however is a prick.

I suffered a miscarriage a few days ago, which was a pretty horrendous experience, culminating in collapsing in A&E and being admitted. Physically I'm on the mend and family and friends have been brilliant. Spoke to my manager this afternoon to confirm that I'd be taking a few days off and he thought it appropriate to tell me that is wife was pregnant, but they weren't telling anyone until the 12 week mark, so could I keep it to myself? WTF, why the hell would I want to know something like that given my situation especially since they're not making it common knowledge? Complete and utter insensitive cunt.
That's horrendous. Best of luck to you. I know a few people that have gone through the same experience as you are going through. Family and friends are a must for you now. |

Sorry to hear that Jo.
We had a similar experience when our ivf failed again, went to tell a friend of ours what happened and they told us their daughter was pregnant straight after we told them.Needless to say we havent spoken since

Thanks for all your kind words chaps. They're much appreciated.
Not a great start to the New Year and will take a bit of time to get over, but unfortunately these things happen.

Receiving a letter from the prospect telling me how much money they have raised through my donations. Great I thought, until the part it says legally I can have the money they made! How could anyone think about claiming it?! It's a legal requirement apparently.
Defeats the object of a charitable donation if you claim. Bet some people do though!

Don't know if people have noticed but theres been a lot of "Betting Tips"pages on face book pop up recently. What annoys me is when the page posts up their tips and you get people saying, yup they have done it but then ask what the bet actually means?
Like Asian Handicaps etc, then they are the first to moan if the bet doesn't come in. Dont bet when you dont know what your betting on, even if something tells you.

The wankers who don't dip their headlights when I'm on an out of town walk at night, do they think I'm wearing sunglasses? Thick twats!

Facebook tailors its ads according to the sort of thing it has detected you might be interested in...clever eh...I'd imagine you like a punt. I get stuff on Eastern European dating sites...despite never having been near one...honest. |

Why oh why do drivers queue on forecourts,so that they can get on the pump "tankside".
The nozzle will reach to the other side.
Frecin gobshites.

Drivers who stop suddenly to let other cars out of side roads. If you're moving slowly then fine - I have no problem with courtesy but to stop suddenly from 30/40 mph to let someone out is fucking stupid.
