Good grief!

 

A pregnant Pakistani woman had a nail hammered into her head by a faith healer who said it would guarantee she gave birth to a boy, a doctor said Wednesday.

 

Exploitative faith healers, whose practices are rooted in mystic Sufi lore, are common across Muslim-majority Pakistan despite the disapproval of some schools of Islam.

 

In South Asia, a son is often believed to offer better financial security to parents than daughters.

 

The woman arrived at a hospital in the northwestern city of Peshawar after trying to extract the nail herself with pliers, doctor Haider Khan told AFP.

 

"She was fully conscious, but was in immense pain," said Khan, who removed the spike.

 

The mother of three daughters said she was pregnant with another girl, the doctor added. An X-ray showed the five-centimetre nail had pierced the top of the woman's forehead but missed her brain.

 

Khan said a hammer or other heavy object was used to knock it in.

The woman initially told hospital staff she had hammered the nail into her head herself on the advice of the faith healer, before later admitting he had carried out the act.

 

Peshawar police are trying to track down the woman in order to question him.

 

"We have collected the CCTV footage from the hospital and hope to reach the woman soon," city police chief Abbas Ahsan told AFP.

"We will soon lay our hands on the sorcerer," he said.

I had a few of these style try-ons last summer. Always follow the same template. Matched them on one of the apps, asked me to take it to what’s app immediately, started issuing demands there and then

I took the birds lad to his rugby on Sunday morning. It’s under 8’s, they only play tag rugby and tackling is not allowed.    The club have an inclusivity policy and they have a kid with Downs

Some horrible old couple in Dobbies garden centre before taking fucking ages ages to order their food and talking to the staff like shit got to the till and started moaning about the shit service. 

 

They were completely oblivious to everyone waiting then got told how much their food was and they kicked off again. They thought they'd got one of those cheap combo meals but had ordered a couple of meals that were full price and were almost in tears at the till at being charged 39 quid for two fish and chips meals and a couple of scones.

 

Even though I agreed that it was a total rip off I was trying to suppress my laughter by looking away and biting my lip and the other people joining the queue thought I was a right cunt for finding it hilarious, even though this old couple were a pair of horrible patronising twats.
