Yay the forum has come alive, there's normally a 4am club but not today, I'm on nights, it's dead quiet and the forum has been like a desert....

Oh, it's you.....poll wrecker.

It is very foggy out there.

I'm happy I slept in....it almost said 6 am on the clock when I woke up

And if you must set up shabby polls which don't reflect the will of the people.....

 

[Salty seadog]

Haha, yeah, that's a lie in for me too. I see 4am every day, might not get up until 10 some days if I can get back but for some reason 4am on the dot is eyes open time. Mind you that's when the comedy starts on radio 4 extra so that goes on.

Have you seen the poll result, 18-19 in favour of your 'inclusive addition'. It's like the referendum all over again, to close to draw any definite conclusions.

I'll be in bed in an hour too....

That's never cheap, hope it's a quick fix.

It's popular to whinge at the NHS, but I phoned up my GP and got an appointment within 2 hours. Blood tests were done and results were available in 3 days. I was refered for an X-ray, a walk in appointment was set up within 10 minutes, I drove there in 15 minutes and was processed and out in another 20 minutes. All free.

10 years ago I ended up in a heap in the middle of the road. Within 5 minutes paramedics were there, they did everything that was needed and shephearded me to hospital. A full team of doctors, anaethestists and nurses met me, assessed me head to foot. Radiographers photographed every bit that hurt and some that didn't. A plastic surgeon stitched up a big hole in my face, then I was put in a nice bed where they could watch me go make sure my brain didn't do a flip. A lovely nurse then came and wiped away all the blood and stroked my hair whilst comforting my wife and brother in law who were quite upset. Later I was taken for an operation and the difficult stuff was put right.
In the following three months I was assessed weekly, I had physio and rehabilitation, Dental reconstruction and psychological support until I was ready to be signed off and return ao work. ALL FOR FREE.

I've heard people in other countries say that we are socialists for having a health service funded from taxes. If the alternative is that only those who can afford to buy the tens of thousands of pounds of treatment I needed can get it then call me a socialist.

Surely the mark of a civilised society is when everyone puts a bit of money into a pot to make sure that anybody gets the health treatment they need free of charge no matter who they are.

Just my view.

Yes I agree with that, unfortunately like all big organisations occasionally things don't work as they should and our NHS is understaffed and underfunded, but like most people they've been there when I've been ill or injured and treated what ever the problem was efficiently and effectively.

Ahhh, fair do's, I do a week of nights every 1 in 4, never really noticed you about that late and you usually stand out. (Eye catching avatar and enjoyable posts).

I'm awake

I wasn't. Mr Hop yelled up the stairs at 7.15 and I woke up with a start . Cue mad dash for the shower, comedy speed dressing and tea consuming. Only 5 mins late leaving at 7.35.

The water in the pool was too hot to swim in properly again for the second day on the trot, even the sign in the reception area was showing off the scale. Only 50 lenghts done

10 tons of gravel coming soon so that will keep me busy.

 

[Smithbat]

Morning all and what a misty eerie morning it was. I do love the fog when I am not driving but riding in it.

 

[screenman]

The gravel lorry is 3 minutes late, I will keep you updated.

 

[Illaveago]

We are having 10 people for lunch today.

Cleverly I have relocated lunch to the pub, so not my problem.

Are you turning cannibalistic?
