Thanks Terry! GP has now given her a salbutamol inhaler with a face mask attachment. May help, but he admitted he doesn't know what is going on! One thing that may be a coincidence is that the GP started her on blood pressure medication about the same time the cough started. He says that...

Can't see Robins' history making him popular with their feeble-minded fan-base either!

Wife update - the "very strong" antibiotics (clarithromycin), normally used to treat pneumonia, have done fuck-all, despite her being on the highest dose for a week. Unless she has TB or the plague, it ain't bacterial! Her coughing is tiring ME out listening to it; she must be exhausted!

They were mad to get rid of Mowbray Number of shits given?? Big fat zero!

We're in Evesham, Chief - but thanks for taking the time to reply

Missus got the "urgent" x-ray appointment through - 7th March! Brilliant!

I'd be in favour of fines but not giving them points.

I agree - polling companies rarely seem to use methods which capture the whole population (especially the older, perhaps Tory-biased people) because they focus on online polling. It's like asking us to believe that the views (on pretty much any subject you care to mention) expressed on social...

I take your point. I don't quite understand why the Tories have given up fielding electable candidates in some of their heartlands. This Bone-lite woman is one case, but another was in the Mid Beds constituency vacated by the lunatic Dorries - they decided to put their weight behind the guy who...

That was sort of the point i was trying to make. Trust an academic expert in election statistics to put it better than a tired biosafety specialist!!

Sure, but my point is that the actual Labour vote didn't swing anywhere - it was simply the collapse of the Tory vote. Sure, if the same thing happens at the GE this year, it will be a pasting, but will the inevitably larger GE turnout all vote to the same pattern as yesterday, or are all the...

So the Tories took a kicking in both by-elections yesterday, with enormous swings to Labour. However ... as has been the case in many of the recent by-elections in this Parliament, the result is not as stunning for Starmer as they are suggesting, in my view: In Wellingborough, the number of...

If there is a lot of it emerging, that would seem sensible

It's given to infants and adults over 65 on the NHS. She is neither!

My missus has had a chesty cough for about 4 weeks. She was diagnosed the first time at the GP with a chest infection (no shit, Sherlock) and gave her 5 days of doxycycline. Didn't touch it so she rang the GP again and a different doctor gave her amoxicillin for 5 days. Didn't touch it. Saw...

Who?? I have zero interest in European football, so i'm completely in the dark when these new names are bandied about! Mind you, i couldn't really care who manages Palarse either so i don't even know why i'm here :D

Not sure there would be much interest in him from genuinely bigger clubs. He did well getting Brighton to the next level, but was inept at Chelsea. Emperor's New Clothes

Exactly this - but can you imagine the bleating if sanctions were imposed on "poor widdle Iswael"?

Well i was told not to speak ill of the dead, but i thought he should have been put out to DJ pasture a long time ago. Not my cup of tea, but it's sad for his family and those who will miss him.

The thing that makes it so much worse (and falling under the definition of ethnic cleansing) is that Israel TOLD people to move from Gaza City because they were going to attack, so they moved to Khan Yunis, then they started bombarding that and told people to move to Rafah. There are now over...
