KZbin is advertising The new Wentworth. You can pay for the box set or pay to watch on KZbin. I watched prisoner after watching Wentworth on Netflix. It was suggested to me, by a co-worker, to watch Wentworth after I watched Orange is The New Black. She said Wentworth was much better. Than I came across this prisoner series, a real gem. Been hooked on it since. Nothing like the old school, original series. I'm watching Prisoner my 2nd time around.

Joan as a hostess was hysterical. The customers should have clapped for her when she booted that annoying lady out.

My one great Auntie poured hot soup over a male customer, because of something derogatory he'd said to or about her.She also punched a customer clean out when his hands started wandering.Yes,on both occasions she lost her job,but only for a couple of days,and then the management would come crawling back to her, upping her pay, lengthening her paid holidays!They always told her that the restaurant couldn't function without her.I know that the staff, as well as the clientele, thoroughly respected her.They'd be darn stupid not to!🤣😂🤣🤜🥊🤜🥊🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🐊🐊🐊

Last year an irate old battleax in my grocery store came in, demanded we cook her chicken sandwiches and wanted what we thought was two slices Oh f ham. When the "Fine customer" came for her things; she yelled at the other guy " I said TEN PIECES!" and threw the damned ham right at us and hit me in the face with the bag. And the old she🐕. Didn't apologize. I told the Manager On Duty and he said the next time she threw a wobbly to call him so he could tell her not to come back to the Deli. 👹

@@sheriheffner2098that is terrible. I hope that the miserable old 🐄 didn’t come back. She was probably a drunkard who spent her entire life in the gutter. There was once a thoroughly abusive old woman who was extremely disrespectful to me. This happened at the train station in York, northern England. She put her ugly old face right in my face and said, “make yourself useful and tell me which train I need to get to Edinburgh” I was really young at the time about 15 or 16 I think. She then said, “Oh hurry up, young people have no respect for their elders” I apologised saying, “I’m terribly sorry madam… the train you need to catch is standing at the platform there” and pointed her in the direction. She snorted and walked off. Unknown to her it was the non stop train to Plymouth in southern England and as it departed with her on it, I could not help but laugh that she was going in the completely different direction to where she wanted to be 😂

OMG! Spider! Why are you acting like that. That's your MUM! And you smoking like you do just might give you lung cancer. That's nothing to just pretend that it doesn't affect you. My father had cancer of the kidney and it went into his lungs and his liver. He never went to the damn doctors. He found out in May of 2012 when his lung collapsed. He died on October 12 2012. The same exact day Sheila Florence died, but I believe she died in 1992. Here's something to think about, no matter how your father or mother is, they are the one that had you. If they weren't a bastard or a bitch that raped you or tortured you, you will miss them when they're gone. My father was a hateful man, he was like my grandfather, he was like Vera Bennett's mum, always putting you down, never saying anything good. But I still miss him and dream about him. But my grandfather was 100% worse. He was the most hated man in his neighborhood. Nobody liked him,and everyone loved my dad. He (My grandpa) treated my uncles and my father and my grandma like crap. But he was part of the old days, when the man ruled with an iron fist. The man was born in 1903.

I also have several genetic abnormalities/mutations do to what she was doing when pregnant Sadly due to anorexia my brain has begun to die and has worsened the existing brain damage. I've warned a friend that her baby will come out with likely brain damage as well as she's too selfish to do whats best for baby. Chain smokes. Drinks massive cans of energy drinks up to 10 a day and pretends to be ill to get pain drugs which I've told her will effect the baby. Literally got opioids for a teeny tiny pulled muscle and surely if you actually want the baby you won't take anything that may harm it! She can't say she wasn't forwarned when her baby comes out brain damaged and deformed as she's doing what mum did to me and I came out a mess!
