Just watching the weather report on the idiot box, wet wet wet then rain.

gmorning WBM & all. Witnessed a young man die in restaurant last night. I think he OD. Pmeds took him.

That's not a pleasant thing to witness, tambo. Morning by the way xx
So were you interviewed by the police or anything like that?

I guess the only response a restaurant guest could have is "Waiter, waiter, there's a body in my soup!"

[waterboatman]

Morning tam xxx Not a pleasent experience for you.

[DTCwordfan]

some more pearlers that Cook has received

A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.

"Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women."

"We bought' Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (£3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake."

"No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."

"There was no egg slicer in the apartment..."

"We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish..."

"It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home."

rowanwitch thought you were planning a civil ceremony in the park, then some fun in the stream lol.

[rowanwitch]

Distressing thing to witness, and always sad to think that someone will probably have a visit from the police later today that will fear their lives apart. Are you ok? things like that can affect you in all sorts of ways.

[tamborine]

he ran amok while we waited for our order. 2 staff held him down, he died & they tried cpr but he didnt respond. It was horrible to see - poor man, about 35y

[tamborine]

Staff dialled 999 & were told to get electric shock thingy from smkt, which they did but the machine had no cables so didnt work.

[waterboatman]

I'd guess some clown thought it would be a good joke to steal them.

Morning Ozzy and Tambers not a pleasant meal Tamber. More Thomas Cook threads to come I am sure Ozzy, just dipping in and out of GMEB today so keep missing posts.

[tamborine]

Ive written this to remind me if cops call for statement. Am shocked.

[waterboatman]

Good thinking tam!

I'm going to make an early move and be at the surgery, hopefully, at the front of the queue!

Have a happy day everyone. xxx

Good luck with the quacks - Boaty.

Tambo, the police are usually skilled at teasing recall out of witnesses and they will recognise that you may still be in shock - it's completely understandable. Writing down what happened, even in bullet points, can be very useful and cathartic as well.......the issue with the cables, well that's quite a serious one to highlight as, who knows, it could have helped save his life.

[DTCwordfan]

Okay, I should be moving too - the first thing being to empty the washing machine of the Princess Royal's mat/rug.......

[DTCwordfan]

so have a good one, all.

[Chipchopper]

Top o' the morning all.
wet then rain will be good for the grass!

Thomas Cook - in business for 180 years then suddenly goes tits up. No doubt it will be blamed on Brexit.
