Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Val P]

My beloved sister passed on earlier this morning. Going to really miss her.


Say a prayer for Maureen if you re of a faith. Otherwise just keep a departed Blue in mind. God bless you Sis.

So sorry for your loss. Condolences to you and your family

My wife and I had a wonderful day, easy morning, drive in the countryside, visit to the pub and a lovely meal prepared and presented by my son. By now it’s 6.30pm. So halfway through the meal I get a phone call from the pub. A couple who had been barred just the night before for swearing and abusing other customers, turned up and a member of staff turned them away. This almost never happens, indeed I only know of one occasion prior. Of course they were already drunk and attacked one of our staff members. The Police were called, the couple had disappeared but as they lived in the village everyone knew their address, so it’s up to the Police. I’m now getting phone calls every two minutes while eating my meal and trying to deal with it all. Another day ruined and grief dropped upon me, but my wife was fine. The couple concerned, who live in the village, have now been banned for life but may not even know it yet. I then had to speak with our staff to make sure they were all ok and that the one attacked was fine. All I could realistically do is apologise but give them an assurance we would prosecute. Meanwhile I now have a cold meal, I have indigestion and my wife is wondering what I’m fretting about. So big tip, never buy a bloody pub in your own village. I’m sure that by tomorrow when I’m in there and enjoying a pint I will think differently. But tonight I’ve had enough…..

Oh Pete. What a nightmare. I think you are having one of those periods of time where the phrase 'it never rains but it pours' applies. I'm happy your staff are OK and glad that you are intending to press charges. I hope today is better for you.

So sorry to hear this BR. I know it was only a matter of time but it still hits you like a bolt when the time comes. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Morning all, misty start here. Grandkids 3&4 return to school today, the others get their turn on Wednesday. I used to hate it when I went back after a holiday, later our own children and still feel the same about the grandkids. On a brighter note we’re off to the coast for the day which means the ice cream and amusements money is all mine!
Have a good day, all.

Quiet afternoon in Fernie

Why have people got their arses hanging out Duc? Is that a local tradition?

So sorry to read this and of your loss. I lost one of my sisters four years ago , she was a wonderful person, i have lovely memories of her as I’m sure you do of your sister. Peace.

It’s my own fault, I keep thinking don’t worry things could be worse, then lo and behold … lol

Not the same if you cannot smell the food ,the next big breakthrough for technology is to send the smell of food .I looked into it and there are some 15000 different bits that make up a smell .Then there is the cost of the machine to mix them ! When I was a kid not much of tech we have today could even be dreamt of so hold your breathe .

Honestly Pete I believe this is the best attitude to take. It works for me anyway. Just focus on the positive things in your life and, if you are able, put the not so positive things to the back of your mind. I know it's more difficult for you as you are having to deal with the not so positive things on a daily basis, but the premise still stands.

In relation to the pub, from what I have seen it is a big part of your life that brings you a lot of enjoyment and fulfillment. What happened yesterday, as ugly as it was for those directly involved, sounds like a rarity and shouldn't be taken out of context given the overall enjoyment owning the pub brings you.
