I don't know about anyone else's GP's surgery but since COVID there is only on GP on duty at any time at mine, the rest work from home. Excuse me a GP working from home what do they do. Once upon a time they did home visits.

Home visits are only after you die!😅

 

[GSV Ethics Gradient]

I totally sympathise.
I no longer call my GP for an appointment, the system is broken.

When 111 finally called back Mrs GSV was out, so I couldn't get to the phone - message (which was a complete lie) said they'd tried several times and were therefore closing the case. *****.

No more politics please peeps. I have enough pain as it is! 😱 🙂

What are your pet hates? It could be anything from a taste, smell, lane hoggers on motorways... anything that really gets your back up.

I hate with a passion is text speak. When you have a face-to-face conversation with someone. For example:

You say to someone I lost a winning lottery ticket, and instead of them responding "oh my God, that's awful", they go OMG. This really turns a mild mannered individual like me into a raging bull.

One of Mrs. Ps,hate is the word "flavoursome" when referring to food or drink.

The word 'Haitch' - especially when used by BBC presenters who should know better.
People who cross the road while talking on their mobile phone.
'Awesome!'
I'll stop now, I could be here all day....

Yes my bad, I started it.
Get well soon!!!!!

Ask your missus to get you diclofenac diethylammonium from the chemist, I've been using this for my sprained knee, it should help ease the pain. Ibubenfen gel also good. 🙂

Unforgivable for them.
Unbelievable that it's such a common affliction in general.
No grey areas, it's just wrong.

Your opinion of BBC presenters is way too high!

I'm on Tramadol, which doesn't seem to be touching it - I'm on a Mickey Mouse dose of 50mg 2x daily - you can go up to 4x higher so I'm doubling what I've been prescribed. Still having to pee in a bucket!

Hey - just about managing to walk now!

Trust me, I have my orders!

'Celebrity' culture.

Wouldn't have watched it but....

I've just seen the full lineup of celebrities taking part in the forthcoming Strictly Come Dancing.

If I was to pass any one of them in the street, I'd have no more chance of knowing who they were, than they would of knowing who I was.

The Simpsons predicted new species of humans called celebrities.

You bothered to look? I've completely ignored it.

I saw the headline, naming the last addition to the list of celebs - hadn't heard of him, so looked to see if I'd heard of any.
I HAVE actually heard of one of them 😯

It's the most expensive BBC production - and probably one of the reasons many have stopped paying the licence.

If that's the best the BBC can provide I am not surprised.....

Whatever you two, or I think of Strictly, it is hugely popular.

It never ceases to amaze me, what crap is very popular, like Mrs Brown’s Boys and, shudder, Micheal McIntyre’s bilge.

I have stopped paying TV licence, all done above board.
I stream my television, honestly hand on heart, I don't miss it.

That's for sure - and I can certainly see why it appeals.
I'll be the first to admit that the technical production has always been as good as it gets - as well it should be for the money spent on, for example each of those moving head lights.

But surely, even its greatest fans must be sick of the political correctness - although it's fair to say that, these days, the BBC is damned if it does, damned if it doesn't.

Don't get me started on MasterChef - I don't care if the presenter gets his knob out backstage...I just can't stand cooking programmes 😐

We don’t pay, because my wife qualifies for a free one.

Average waiting times for a driving test are now at eight months, and because the system for booking them is old and basic, the slots can be sold on at a profit - and that's what's happening. There's clearly nothing that someone horrible won't do for money...

System needs to book slots in a fixed, non-transferrable name.

Yeah, my daughter paid extra for a quicker driving test. If she passes it'll be cheaper as I won't have to double the journey time.

Agree, though, it's a rip off.

Exactly, that's what needs doing, now!
