My Wonderful Holiday

Hey all, you probably haven't noticed but I've been away all week, it wasn't exactly a great holiday, I copy and pasted this from my clans forum because it hurt me fingers typing it out and I didn't want to do it again:-
Well im back from me hols, was it nice you may ask, well no, no it wasn't, we arrived at our deliverance type cottage in the lake district last Saturday at approximately 3 pm, after the fucking treasure hunt to find the key we entered the cottage, hmmmm strange smell(like me nan who died in '86)we half expected to find a corpse in the bath tub(see Elbow-Newborn for that line), anyway we unpacked trying to put a brave face on(samm was really excited about our first holiday in 2 years), I sat down knackered and samm went to make a brew, hmm T.V I thought, oh no you don't the cottage thought, not one fucking channel was received, not a massive problem but I wanted to watch the world cup and what the fuck do you do if its raining outside(I don't drink!!!), ah well still 50% putting a brave face on, samm brought the tea in and we drank it, "just taking the dogs a walk" she sez, "ok I'll have a bath" I say(the bathroom was directly off the kitchen!), so I turned on the water, hmmm odd the water appears to be brown, must just be crap in the pipes I thought, but oh no, oh dear god no, it filled the bath to the brim with dark brown water, smelling a bit I thought fuck it and jumped in(quickest bath ever, about 4 minutes 57 seconds). After bath I thought I'll go and climb on the roof to see if we can get a picture on the telly by messing with the aerial, nope no luck, so I rip the twat off the chimney and start walking around the garden with samm yelling if we got a picture(which we didn't), I finally got the worst picture ever for ITV by placing the aerial about 50 yards from the house, so there we sat watching ant and dec on a saturday night. Bedtime was a fucking nightmare, I vetted all the rooms, one of which had the scariest photo's in of a dead old woman or summat, I finally decided that we should sleep in the most normal room which didn't have demonic pictures in it like in the game Undying. After a terrible nights sleep we got up and took the dogs a walk around lake windermere, this is more like it, we had a nice walk and the dogs loved it, on the way back to the cottage we cut across a corner which was just long grass, no problem there you may say, but you see there is a problem, we live in the town and we aren't used to ticks, but if you take your dogs through long grass by sheep it may end up infested, which unfortunately our biggest dog did, we are still ripping them out of him now, I have never seen anything so disgusting as these little fuckers. We got back to the cottage and samm's lip started quivering "do you want to stay" she sez "up to you" I say, so at approximately 2pm we packed up the car and left, thank christ my uncle has a flat in Wales, which for the last week is where we've stayed.

Sounds like my holiday in sri lanka.

7 hour journey from colombo to khandi. fucking humid, generators on every hour (thank god they went off at night)

decent enough town, pity the hotel sucked.

Went home early as a result. stay in Colombo was terrible. pollution, gangs, windy. Hotel sucked as well. Fee increased for staying the higher up the hotel you go. AND I HATE HOTEL LOBBY KARAOKES

Bah gonna have to choose a new username, keeps saying Tremor is in use:(
Well we've been to the flat in Wales many times so its kinda boring now, the relief we had when the shiny tv fired up with four, yes FOUR(no ch 5)channels was wonderful, I think we had sex once munkey, we've been together a long time now and sex is a treat. We relaxed and enjoyed it though Summo.
I've just ripped a tick out of my doggy's bollock, they are fucking awful little bastards.

We thought that, but so far they seem to be coming out intact matey, there was no possible way I could of left one in his balls, I just had to remove that little bastard, I think there isn't a great problem with infection from English ticks.....I hope.

You're lucky it was your dog that got ticks. On holiday when I was younger both me and my little sis got covered in the bastards.

The horror.

See? There was an upside! The ticks weren't on you!


And I think you might need to worry about Lymes disease from ticks... I can't remember too greatly what the nurse said to us (repress, repress, repress) but that rings a bell. Not sure if dogs catch it though, or just people.



Doesn't look like me and K are going on holiday. We're being turfed out of our house - the landlady has changed her mind and is selling. And since the lady from Halifax was just out right mean when we asked about a mortgage (when she finished wiping me, the student, off her shoe) it looks like our holiday fund is probably going on house hunting fees. Again.

The guy in the holiday shop did helpfully suggest that, on our budget, we could go on holiday to Butlins.

Fuckers.

my sister got a tick on her a few years back
apparently the way to deal with em is burn em off with a ciggy, as the pain causes em to pull their legs out or summit.

Bad luck Trem :( Sounds like it could have been an OK hol if that was what you were expecting & wanted, but given that it clearly wasn't you've got my sympathies :(

Look at it this way though - doesn't it feel nice to be back in your own house now? :p

Any volunteers to hold a cigarette to Trem's dog's testicles?

No?

Didn't think so.

Well we kinda knew it wasn't going a be a thrill ride of a holiday, but with my immense fear of flying and with us having dogs we thought it would be nice, samm had planned many picnics and I imagined striding up the mountains with a cap on with a big feather in it, I did not imagine brown water and tweezing my dogs nads:(


I got a tick off a ferret when I was younger, I can remember they hurt if you moved them because they try to dig in deeper, I cant imagine how much they would struggle if you held a ciggie to there arse, uuuurrrrrrgggghhhhh I'm still itching:(

The way to do it is to use surgical spirit, and then pull them out with some tweezers. Cos it you don't, you just amputate its blood filled arse sack, and leave the mankey teeth part embedded in your skin, sucking and sucking...

I had seven of them on me. Seven. I can still remember the smell of surgical spirit, and the horror. Its probably no wonder I have a phobia of parasites...

Good evening Dam, its just the sheer panic when we see them, when we went Scotland my little dog had one on her and we were so freaked out we drove to the nearest vets which was on the Isle Of Skye, when inside the vets she just pulled it out with her fingers and that was that. Samm and ollie(doggy) have gone bed now, I'm gonna wait a while for any loose ticks to attach themselves to samm before I go bed:D

I know about the terror Trem. Its one thing having something crawling on you that you can scream at and swat away, but another one having a creature that is surgically attached to you and isn't shifting without some written warning, a doctors certificate and at least a gallon of blood first. They are pure evil and need to be made extinct.

Fleas are almost satisfying, due to the fact you can crunch them between your nails or drown them in cups of water.


Ticks and wasps are the nastiest creatures ever invented. And donkeys. Ticks and wasps and donkeys. And geese. And hair lice.

Awww donkeys are lovely, I agree on the others though, what possible use are ticks and wasps? Please someone give me an explanation as to why these things exist!!!
