Power to you Sultan for telling it like it is.

Oh lighten up, you can tell by his tone that he's 95% having a laugh.

I, for one, welcome the irreverence. It's been lacking for quite a while.

Cake is just too bloody tasty ...

That's for her employer to decide. Not you.

I am an RN. I have practiced in the US for nearly thirty years. There are many aspects of my job that I don't particularly like. However, nursing is a career I chose, it is my job, and I do it to the best of my ability. Who will take care of these patients if I don't?
The 'patients' are very well taken care of. The issue is them getting themselves to and from their car to the place of surgery. If they have special requirements, I think that should be factored into the cost of their treatment (it isn't currently) and a porter / orderly appointed to lug the fatties about.

I must admit, that there is a difference between helping some get around when they are under your care - and helping them to get into your building before they are under your care.

And I too enjoy doughnuts. And cake. And M&Ms. And burgers.

That's like having a cup of tea with no teabag

Admittedly, I do like plain, salted popcorn but butter, FFS. Without butter, what is life? Shite, that's what.

I've just woken up, I'm lying in bed reading this thread and it's put a real smile on my face! It's hilarious! It's set me up for a good day
