You have my deepest sympathy. The Polish for piss off is zpieprzaj. Here's how my English friends remember it: sp-ee-yep-shay. You might be better off with asking for some bigos or pierogi. Good luck!
Read about your blog this morning on Yahoo. I had to find it and read it and damn it started my morning off right. I was laughing so hard I had tears! Love the sense of humor. Hopefully everything goes right and you'll be out of there soon. Wishing you all the best from Canada. Take care
@variola - Thank you! The comment was actually (badly) directed at Traction Man .. .. .. as you noticed I'd dropped the link in a previous post and that he saw fit to give it space all of it's own .. .. .. well I'm chuffed!
@Victoria - It's amazing what you can cover up with photoshop
If you're vegetarian, it's even worse. One choice a day and always inedible. I lost a stone in a recent 2-week stay in hospital. If they gave this rubbish to prisoners they'd riot, yet it's deemed good enough for those unfortunate enough to be ill.
get well soon.... and then write a book. No, perhaps its best that you don't, I think I may do myself physical damage with laughing so much that I might end up taking over your still warm bed.
Hi again Traction Man. Found you yesterday and just needed another laughter fix. The video is fantastic, sorry I can't say the same about your food, those sausages look sooooo plastic! Anyway I hope all the new visitors are relieving the boredom for you a little more. Will be back again tomorrow for the next installment. Until then, hope you are feeling a little better, regards, Linda Tenerife x
You need to write a book, I found the link on the beeb and I have just spent an hour reading the whole of your blog. I laughed aloud, my husband thinks I've gone barmy!! I'm trying to cook dinner but I keep thinking of what you've written and having to stop and laugh. Oh, and I work in the local NHS hospital but I haven't resorted to lying down on the job yet!! Keep writing and I'll keep reading, good luck, hope all goes well. Andrea x
Having been in a hospital, worked in a hospital AND worked for the DWP I laughed until I could hardly breathe. God bless keep the coming it's priceless!!
being currently laid up with food poisoning myself (aka the turkey trots) and after reading your blog, i can't help but be thankful that i'm being treated in my own bed, nursed back to health by my mother's tlc and wonderful cooking. tonight was tender beef casserole in red wine with creamy mash, broccoli and carrots, followed by cherry pie with custard and creme fraiche. being weaker than my usual self, i couldn't finish what was on my plate. perhaps i could arrange a doggy bag for you?
on another note, since discovering your blog and having some spare time on my hands i found the following amusing link, detailing 'the amazing gravity-defying macaroni cheese' which may provide light relief:

keep up the good work- your humour in the face of such drudgery is truly heroic.
Insult the cooks ha ha ha LMAO. Oh dear, more likely the cooks insults the patients when they serve up such horrendous dishes that look more like vomit that anything remotely edible and expect it to be eaten. I feel for TM having to eat that for months. Get well soon.
steer clear of dumplings I had my spleen and gall bladder out a few years ago and when they finally allowed me to eat I asked for soup and ice cream. Never saw it yet, all I got was dinner with suet dumplings followed by pudding of apple dumplings, jam roly poly and custard etc. I didn't eat anything all my time inside. Lost 6 stone in weight so it wasn't all bad news. I was told that if I wanted to I could order food from an outside restaurant (and pay for it of course) and have it shipped in. In future you should try and get them to treat you in a private hospital (patient choice). I did that once and the food was real food and there was a wine list. Too late for you I'm afraid.
so sorry to hear that you have been held captive by the British Government and being put through abhorant torture. Lets hope that they concede defeat and give you what ever treatment is required to eliminate this flesh eating creature that has taken over your body. (probably invaded you via the food!!!!) Love your blog, at least they cant kill off your sense of humour. All the best from Australia kind regards Aussie Girl

ReplyDeleteI've heard a rumour that Kosher food is better since it is shipped in from external suppliers.
Can I interest Sir in some minor surgery? It might improve your diet....
;-)
Can't I have kosher without the snip?
ReplyDeleteOh dear. This video made me choke on my leg of duck with garlic courgettes...
ReplyDeleteThere's an NHS hospital near the end of this downfall video.

Hi from Arnprior, Ontario (Canada). I'm rooting for you.
ReplyDeleteNot-so-anonymous Tracey (can't figure out how else to get this stupid thing to take my comment)
Just say you've converted to Judaism and you haven't had time to get the snip yet! And then ask for lots of chicken noodle soup with dumplings.

The food looks okay. You insult the cooks at your peril.
