after my 330 euro vet bill today, based on french no longer allowing chemists to sell 'cat in heat pills'
due to 'service' (she lost all the kittens, emergency C section) I can make a case for some kind of nuke bomb over the entire area to keep the buildings but do in the inhabitants.
When I look at my bill I see 55 euros goes in TVA, the rest ... 'it's only money'. If it's only money how come Monaco is allowed to exist? Why is france 3 trillion in debt? Because my english student, 73, is getting too front teeth bridge replacements. The work has been ongoing for the last 6 months .. the bill, 5,800 euros. His insurance is paying some of that, he's paying 1,500, the state paying the rest.
Best part of 6grand for a couple of front teeth.
Flea powder. No you don't want that, it's too cheap, have these 3 tiny vials instead for 30 euros. Quadrupple wrapped in hard plastic no one over the age of 50 will open easily, and no one over the age of 65 will ever manage to open, because, french plastic industry, big business. Plastic, it's good. Buy some painkillers. Instead of getting a decent amount in a plastic US style bottle, no, get 10, each individually wrapped in foil and more plastic than they used to build all the individual dinner trays on the first 747. Tea bags. Sure wrap each individual tea bag in hard to open brittle plastic .. it's good for the planet. Buy some buscuits, and get buscuits wrapped in crappy plastic that you can't reseal as 'why not eat the whole lot that way you don't need to reseal them!!'. Buy any tool from lidl aldi etc. open the instructions, first 12 pages full of shyte about getting rid of batteries, wearing slippers on a cold night, not skating on thin ice, advice on how electricity kills, advice on who to call in case of shock. Finally get to last two pages, zero useful information on the machine you've bought, zero diagrams apart from the useless one on page on. Accessories, you don't need to know what they are for only 'what are they called'. This is a 'jig blade', there is also a cut and sand blade, there is a spanner, and there's a thing that sucks. That's it, always the same, 88 pages of three times repeated gubbins in french dutch and german (never english), and zero good clear sound info. It's as if the writer of these owners manuals didnt actually have a brain, and hated his job, and certainly had never used the tool. These are just a few examples of why I said to the bloke who ran the vets, this is the last time I'll come here. It didn't end in a physical altracation like my last visit to the dentist in the village, (2 years ago?) where we wrestled in the meter wide corridor for about 45 seconds. Before I picked up my paperwork and glasses and stepped out on to the street with as much dignity as I could muster.
And that agent, 'screaming' for her commission. Fuck her as well.
