@mariner4life i do understand that aspect, my understanding is it proven to help/prevent spina bifida, unplanned pregnancies that dont develop spina bifida may have other factors, the mother diet might already have lots of folic acid for example
I'm more interested in the lack of responsibility for the person that actually decided to have the baby, are we going to see docs sued if a parent smokes or drinks through their pregnancy and develop issues....its pretty common knowledge not too but if the docs doesn't specifically tell the mother...

@mariner4life said in Grumpy Old Man:
there HAS to be more than reported there, absolutely HAS to be
Seems like the doctor should've taken better notes. E.g. "advised spoilt fluffybunny to ensure diet was good enough to maintain necessary nutrients like folic acid levels".

People who try to have a conversation, any sort, even a short question to you, when you are TAKING A SHIT.
It doesn't matter what it's about, it can wait. Leave me alone.
So this! the other day I sat on the toilet for my morning dump and my wife comes in tell me something. The dog follows the wife, and the two cats follow the dog. I'm trying to take a shit and I have an entire audience looking at me.

When your beautiful wife volunteers you for something without asking you first.
While you were dumping or did she wait til after ?
She knows when I'm vulnerable.

Strictly Come Dancing
No problems with the dancers, but WTF is this self-indulgent, luvvie, preening group of crap-sprouters known as "the judges"?
A gay couple get to the final and they indulge in enough woke emotional masturbation to make the floor wet. They're a pair of dancers who happen to be gay FFS, it's no big deal in this day and age, it really isn't.

@victor-meldrew wouldn't it be more surprising if they weren't gay?

Good point. And it's bloody ironic the only judge who behaves normally is openly gay.

Well, not unless they're tied to a chair.
But enough about Saturday nights at the Meldrews...

Grumpy late thirties man! Driving on a gravel road behind a townie/tourist!
I took a very scenic route from Tuakau to Hamilton via Port Waikato to visit my Uncles grave in Te Akau. I got stuck behind a Jucy rental van on the gravel road after Port Waikato and the bastards drove 30km/h for several KM's and didn't let me pass at all. I am glad the were heading for the Nikau Caves/Café and not Waingaro. I got behind a farmer towing a heavy trailer later on and he pulled over to let me past the first opportunity he got.

List an item on Facebook Marketplace - which is always a fluffybunny of an experience, I'm well aware.
$150 "No Offers". It has been up for about an hour or so - my daughter's old iPhone 8 which is still in decent condition bar a couple of cracks in the bezel. Screen and home button still fine. Battery decent. Have seen people selling them for about $200 so figured that was a fair price.
First contact: "What about $100?"
Reply: "$150. No Offers"
Radio silence.Second contact: "What about $120 I come now?"
Reply: "$150 if you come now"
Second contact: "I can be there 11:30 if you make it $135 that would be great"Third contact: "If the home button works then I'll take it between 2-3 PM"
Reply: "Sweet."Reply to second contact: "I've got a solid offer for this afternoon. If it falls through I'll let you know."
You see, fluffybunnies? That wasn't hard.

Cyclists that ride on the road alongside a brand spanking new cycle path that is even flatter than the road should be fined

@nta as someone who doesn’t use Facebook and doesn’t sell stuff on gumtree I’m always entertained by my friends stories that are always the same as this.
They always seem to ignore no offers!
Third Contact wins. Turned up on time, paid the money, was happy with the phone.
Easy.

Sounds about right. I put on an ikea kids bed for free once - you know, help people out who need one but struggling.
Got so many questions on it - the state of it, kids stickers etc.
Drove me nuts. So I ended up putting a price on it and it was gone in a day.
It seems if you put free on it attracts only those looking to pick up and sell for ap profit.
