		<description>i never ceases to amaze me how un-patriotic these cocks are.  England are playing and about to lose somewhere and the flags come out for a week or so, the rest of the year where are they?  Fly the flag all the time or not at all, but please not on your heap of shit crap-mobile Japanese or Malaysian vehicle, it&#039;s bad enough on a Corsa or Fiesta.  by the way, do these people have any idea how these exterior window flags screw up their fuel consumption.</description>

		<description>I found this via ThisIsFury on twitter, and your job adverts made me positively vibrate with amusement. You missed that the second job is for 38 seeks of the year... I love grammar. I&#039;m brief, too.</description>

		<description>I narrowly escaped going to one of these type of sessions because I had to go self employed as the freelance graphics are starting to take off.

It was pretty pointless anyway, because I had applied for nearly 600 jobs in 3 months, and some jobs had also been lower paid and further away than my previous job, which they said I didn&#039;t have to start applying for until 6 months were up and I had to be less fussy. The woman that informed me of the appointment also said that it was pointless me going as they couldn&#039;t help me any more than I had already done for myself so it would have been a waste of time.

It would take me approximately 1.5 hours travel total there and back because of bus times and having to wait around for the appointment to start and then wait on the bus home, plus an hour in there for something they had already told me was pointless. Basically with the freelancing websites I am registered with a couple of hours delay in bidding on a job can see you lose work, so potentially that disruption could have cost me more than my dole money in missed opportunity. 

Also, the appointment was 12.30pm Friday. My friend who I collabrate on some projects with negotiated to work a 4 day week to do his own projects on Fridays, so the likelihood was that I would not have ha a conflict between the job club and the day I would most likely have work or meetings.

		<description>Nikki, my love under no circumstances put this off or consider not turning up.The `first time` is just as daunting as the first sexual experience, not as much fun, but lasts about as long!!!Due to my chequered menstrual/gynae history, I had to have my first internal at 16, first smear at 18 , and my capacity to take it in my stride was not as it would be now (at 51).
The medical professionals conducting your smear will be keen to put you at your ease, and should be open to any concerns or embarrasment you may have. In my and all my female friend/family cases no stirrups have been involved, (unless you turn up on horesback), and dress code is always whatever you feel comfortable in, obv you have to strip from the waist(in private), and there will be a sheet covering you all you need to do is slide your feet to your bum and open wide,(bit like a dentist,but on a bed not a chair, cue innapropriate remarks about bad breath!!except don`t be tempted to pop a mint in before you go) LOL. The whole proceure takes seconds, nothing to be scared of(the rubber gloves don`t even go up to the elbows), doesn`t hurt, might feel a small scraping feeling is all(you can just lie back and think of England, in my case after I was married, Britton)ha ha, and then you can get dressed, again in private.
Small talk is entirely optional,but in my case was always along the lines of waiting till the nurse/doctor was about to`go in` and say &quot;Oh you recognise me now&quot;!!!
Joking apart Nikki,hopefully the message is,there is nothing too embarrasing that is worth the oppurtunity to nip in the bud a totally preventable and curable form of disease. I owe my life to this procedure,had a hysterectomy when I was 32, luckily I had had both my children, and I am fighting fit,healthy and grateful all these years later.I`m currently going through a divorce after 27yrs of marriage,the menopause, and not a day goes by that I`m not glad to be alive,I`ve recently met a guy of *34*(here on Twitter, go me !!! )and the healthy sexlife we have is all down to me attending all my smear tests in the past.
So go tomorrow, I won`t say enjoy, but rejoice that you have the opportunity to do something positive to protect your own health, then go home and enjoy your man!!!
xxxxx She xxxxx
P.S. fast forward 24 years and you are called for breast screening, go and be grateful that someone wants to squeeze your breasts at 50,(even if it is two sheets of perspex)!!!!</description>

		<description>Hey ickle one...ahw bless.....
It’s really not that bad you know...  just wear whatever you feel comfortable in... It’s only you and the nurse.. *ogglers* not allowed.  Nurses are far better at it than the doctors.
*All* you need to do is *relax* take yr ipod listen to your favourite tune, or just think what you’re going to have for dinner...anything as long as your relaxed.
What I do when I am facing something with pure trepidation is treat myself afterwards, ickle pressie or in my case a kip! As other have said, you are far too precious to ignore a simple test which could confirm all is fine or alter you to something which may need attention. Simple...just do it!! (or i will kick your ass!!!) Mummy Moochie xxx</description>
