My final car

[purplebargeken]

Even worse than an unmot'd E46? Goodness!

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Yes. 

[Tamworthbay]

Such positivity on a Weekend, and they say kindness is dead...........

[purplebargeken]

I relish the misery, next.......

[Lacquer Peel]

If my last car was a Rover 45, I'd end it now I think.

They aren't so bad.

[purplebargeken]

I concur.

[purplebargeken]

Well if Hub Nut likes 'em then that's good enough for me

 

Until he sells it of course lol.

[purplebargeken]

Hmm, have taken pictures of the lovely 45 but PB does not seem to want to let me upload them in any way, shape or form.

[purplebargeken]

Have some pics of previous cars instead:

 

 

 

This was an ace car!

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was my friends car, wish I'd kept hold.

 

 

This was a lovely little thing but on the journey home from collection I stuffed it into the rear of a Vauxhall Insignia, combo of old brakes, slippery road, and low sun.

 

 

 

 

Cannot recall at all why I got rid of this or where it went. Wasn't too long ago either. Very puzzling indeed.

 

 

Have some tigers, hand fed at Paradise Park:

 

 

He was my fave!

 

Paws like dinner plates!

I will have finally retired from nursing after 33 years and no longer need a dedicated 'commuting car'.

 

 

I never knew you were a nurse Ken, plastic or general? Ive got another 5 years before I hit the eject button, two of my mates have already hit theirs and another mate hits the magic 55 in January and is offski to push a broom around the local builders merchants. My cousin is the same age as me ( within a few days!) and she is also on the countdown but has an easier life in a GP surgery as a practice nurse. Birthdays are marked in "only so many more pay days...."

 

Anyway - as you were.

[purplebargeken]

Mental 'Elf mate. Thankfully wangled Mental Health Officer status hence scarpering at 55. 

[purplebargeken]

Ahh, I think JohnK had the blue Dolomite!!!

I'm going to bite. What's a plastic nurse?

[Tadhg Tiogar]

I relish the misery, next.......

 

There is a T-shirt with your name on it:

I believe that UW was referring to psych nurses being of the 'plastic' variety 'cos we're not real nurses as we only ever sit round all day drinking tea and talking to the patients

[purplebargeken]

I don't drink tea

That and MH nurses never deal with poo.

 

Im clocking 27 years as a RGN - the last 10 have been in the secure estates, Which was fun* until some git invented Spice.

[purplebargeken]

I've dealt with poo. Oh yes indeed. 

 

Not had the pleasure* of face to face contact with spice heads as yet.

You obviously weren't around when I had to clean up that dirty protest. Or dress the stab wound. Or put steri strips on numerous self harm cuts. I could go on.

 

Needless to say, as an RMN, I get annoyed at being termed as "not a proper nurse". I would wager I know considerably more about physical health than the vast majority of general nurses know about MH.

 

There. I've bitten. I just truly believe all nurses should present a united front.

 

With you on the spice, though. Absolutely vile stuff.

[purplebargeken]

Anyway, back on track now lol.

 

Just popped out to lob some Redex into the tank of the 45 as she's been stood for a while I believe. 

 

She'll be getting a run up to Cov at the weekend hopefully.

[Carlosfandango]

@purplebargeken that's a fine looking 45 you've bagged there and an excellent choice. Good luck with it and the winding down. An honourable career you've had man, fair play

[UltraWomble]

 

There. I've bitten. 

 

 

   

 

Knew you would

 

Make up in primary car in HMP establishments is generally about 50/50 RGN to RMN even on the acute side and whilst the majority wont do testicular or prostatic  exams they can staple/suture as well as any RGN can.

It usual mess room banter though about RMNs not "doing poo or vomit". Spice though - its bloody crap, Ive had one lad try to disembowel himself whilst off his tits on it convinced he had creatures living in his belly.

There are final cars and there are final cars.
