The Rose and Crown

Well the weather said its goin to stay nice so fingers crossed and i agree time for the kids to go to bed there back at school on mon we had better get em used to the early nights again

..........I had this discussion with Julz the other day as to why your kids got to have Easter holidays a week earlier than the rest? Our kids still have another week's holiday yet. Julz thinks it could be something to do with the potato crops? I laughed my head off when she said it but apparently further north people did used to take their holidays to coincide with the potato harvest?

In never knew that i also taught it was strange that the kids holidays are a week early...but here in carlisle we all are a bit odd im goin to look into that

hey troops hows it going pissed here thinking about putting god of war on to play but not a good idea when u have had a few beers LOL.

Evening Stranger


I'm not saying it was because of that Rick, just guessing

I was watching The real ER the other night and they were in Carlisle General A&E, i kept listening out for your accent , I heard one doctor who was from Stoke and 3 patients who had a slight Geordie twang? I thought you would have a slight scottishy twang more so?

Nah we have no scottish twang here and yep we have a slight geordie twang its hard to explane and even stranger because we have loads of scottish peps in carlisle being so close to the border but we seem to have an accent all of our own lol

Soz If that dont make much sence its the beers fault

Gaz said it would probably be more Geordie......anyone famous from there who I can you tube to hear their voice?

her of emmerdale roxann

She is not in it anymore she went to trinity school carlisle

Hey all back now

Lovely meal we had, and a few beers went down great so hows you guys day been??

Hi Rick............

I've got a poorly pussy



It got bit about a week ago by another pussy, now it's all manky and infected and drooling everywhere!
I've just took it down the emergency vets, it's had 2 needles and got to go back tomorrow for tablets.

hope the cats are ok MRS-G,

well downloading the brip of 300 Allison hasn't seen it but its taking ages to download so might just grab the dvd rip and it will be done in about 10 minutes LOL.

Not good Andi hope its ok and they can sort the poor thing out

And hope the vets did not make ya take out a loan to pay them i know how costly they can be..

Thanks fellas,

He's got up for some food at least, I rang one vet and they wanted £109 before they had even looked at him It's emergency vets.....I rang the PDSA but he wasn't covered because I already had my 3 pet limit so I asked them "What do I do, be cruel and just leave him to die?" they agreed to see him, i gave them a £20 donation but I still have to take him to a private vet tomorrow for medication.

really hope they get well. i always hate to see pets in bad shape

vets can sometimes be caring though. i had a dog that went from being perfectly fine to swayed back and blind in two weeks. and those kind vets said they could try to find a cure but they would advise we just put him down do to the cost. bastards

Great stuff but 109 quid is just mad and that was probably just because the vet had to get up out of his chair then there would have been the costs on top of that..and did the PDSA tell you what medication the poor thing needed???

Edit: and thegreatest thats shit m8

I know, there was a poor dog put to sleep while we were in there, his back legs had gone and he was really wheezy, he lay waiting to go in with a smile on his face and just never came back out.


Yes the vet said he had received Synolux and Metacam, an anti-inflammatory and an anti-biotic and gave me a letter to take to the new vet tomorrow.
I think he's ok, he's resting up lots and the drooling has gone a bit now, the vet said it was because he was licking at infection and ingesting it again.

the worst part was that after he was put down they said it was probably a brain toomer and he may have been able to remove it.

really glad to hear the cats pulling through Mrs. G

Yep i hope thats what my dog dont go off (back legs) its a well nowen german shepard prob the inlaws dog went that way

and great stuff m8 that will save ya money knowing what meds ya need without the vet charging you for his opinion

Edit Again lol: shit my typing slow took a look at the link to your site thegreatest m8 could do with someone like you on my site soz Mrs-G if im out of line posting this just kick my arse if it is

Ooooh the old German Sheppard syndrome! yep been there with several of them myself growing up, notorious for it! All our animals are getting on a bit now.......I'm shitting it to be honest but we have said "definitely no more when these have gone".....and we mean it this time!
