    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Forgot to mention this added bonus. On more than one occasion when I’ve actually managed to get an appointment to see my GP when I’ve gone to the appointment there's come a point where the person I'm seeing has said 'I can't deal with that, you'll need to see a doctor'. The last government had...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I have to do the 8am ring. I might get an appointment at my surgery, I might get an appointment at another surgery run by the same group on the other side of the city, I might get a phone appointment or I might get told there’s no more appointments for the day and to try again tomorrow. With my...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    When I was sat on the other side for 3 days because they didn’t really want to admit me to hospital but it also wasn’t safe to send me home it was plain to see the absolute chaos for being hugely under resourced for what they were being expected to do. Before every shift change an admin staff...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    When I ended up in A&E for 3 days they were saying this is a huge problem. The % of people they are dealing with who are either lonely old, or not even old, people who just want company, people with addiction or mental health issues who would have in the past been dealt with by now closed down...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    How long ago was the GP contract changed though, we can't keep blaming that decades on. Get something done about it. None of the proposals since to 'improve' care have involved undoing those changes. Don't think it's fundamentally an issue of not having the list and not seeing the GP. Its how...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    My Dad hit mid 70s and was at the doctors / hospital at least once a week. He's now into his 4th year in a care home, which despite me paying 4 figures every month must be costing the NHS hundreds of thousands because we won't have a sensible conversation about right to die. My Mum is 'healthy'...

    cricket 2025

    At the point now where we're relying on the India tail being its usual shambles because we're struggling to get the batters out. Praying for a couple of quick wickets and then a collapse.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Seemingly they are just rounding up anyone who doesn't look right in LA with zero evidence required that they are actually in the country illegally. Also at least one person been killed, found with a broken neck, and the veterans association report that are missing veterans, who are US citizens...

    Leeks.

    I think it's absolutely correct that steps have been taken to stop the leaks. It was embarrassing the amount of stuff that came out. We had the team news pretty much as soon as the players were informed, knew what was happening on the training ground, who had fallen out with who, who was signing...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Looks like it's all kicking off again. The deputy director of the FBI is either missing, has taken a leave of absence or quit depending which version you want to believe after a huge fall out with Attorney General Pam Bondi. And Wired have given the video released as 'proof' that Epstein wasn't...

    Leeks.

    Do we know for sure someone has been sacked rather than just told to shut up? Or maybe they were warned to shut up and didn't.

    Manchester Airport Incident

    Are you seriously suggesting that all the new organisations in the country get together and come to some sort of agreement to not use media issued to them by the police & courts in case it makes the defendants look bad?

    The sky dome

    Market is something else that seems to have been massively mis-managed. Its a great building but in a fucking state and just a random assortment of stalls in there. Why they put Fargo where it is, which lets face it isn't the nicest area to go to with fuck all parking, rather than refurb the...

    Things that annoy you

    Looks like the trains finish way earlier on Saturdays because obviously nobody visits London on a Saturday

    Manchester Airport Incident

    They've videos being released by the courts aren't they? I thought the whole point of them being held back until now was so as to not impact the court case.

    season ticket sales

    Few years back I worked with someone involved in the maintenance of HR. Got some pretty shocking stories of how badly run down it was and essentially unsafe, how shabby parts of it looked on the outside with nothing compared to how bad things were behind the scenes. He told me about all sorts...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Come on, be fair. Clearly the most pressing issue at the moment is why the son of the deputy minister of agriculture was doing the voiceover is by far the most important issue we face at the moment. Personally I think the BBC should have been immediately shutdown when this shocking information...

    The sky dome

    The new landlords have made a compelte mess of it. Whacked the service charges up but thousands a month assuming nobody there had any other option. Spoons were first to tell them to do one and others are following now. Its always been a weird setup though with Ikea there. It feels like you...
