My current moan is the length of time to complete roadworks . The bridge at Ansty and the triple four from griff island come to mind.I've seen complete by passes built included bridges in less time.

Try living in Spon End, I can't remember a time when they weren't digging up the road!

Depends which state you live in. A friend in New York does much better than he would over here, more than he would get working in fact.

Another in Texas is much less fortunate.

It's not a choice for many, as it's not affordable.

Most US doctors are very critical of their system because the effect is that a large proportion of the population have no access to health care except emergency care. So this means that people either wait until it is too late or clog up emergency care unnecessarily. It is a terrible system and they are very envious of the NHS and European systems.

Also many people find their insurance doesn't cover them when they seek treatment. The insurance companies won't insure people with serious health conditions unless they pay massively. We really do not want a US type system here.

If you go to the US don't get unwell.

I watched that Michael Moore documentary a while back, Sicko, which is about people with insurance and where the companies refuse to pay, for a variety of spurious reasons.

It might have changed pursuant to the most recent NHS reorganisation, 'choose and book' was part of the 'patient choice' philosophy which came as a result of the 2012 Lansley reforms some of which have been abolished as of July this year.

I had a pet insurance claim denied in 2019 . They wrote to me about 2 weeks ago (since left this company due to the disagreement over the said claim) and they said they had been audited, and I was actually due to the payment . So nice surprise for me, but lost customer for them. But as said, many use Small print to try to avoid payment , which is not valid

When I’ve got the kids consoles or games I’ve always booted it up before I wrap it just to do the updates/installs and stuff. Nothing pisses me off more than being excited to play a new game and I need to wait an hour for updates.

Pregnant mum and baby sleeping in mould infested room at Coventry flat

The family have spoken of two years of 'unliveable' conditions
www.coventrytelegraph.net

Woman is pregnant, bloke is moaning somebody else didn't paint the walls with anti mould paint.

Go and fucking buy some and clean up if you think it's so dangerous for your family ffs. Much more effective than compo poses.

Well it sounds like they’ve taken plenty of steps to address something that shouldn’t even have to be their responsibility. You can’t sympathise with them at all during what’s been a tough period for a lot of people financially?

The comparison shouldn't be UK versus US health system. The world round knows the latter is a shambles.

The problem is that the UK health care system is essentially collapsing and in a lot of senses is no longer fit for purpose. We are in a massive mental health crisis too, and they can't help people. It's run appallingly and has gotten so much worse as the years have gone by. Mismanaged like hell, and with so many people arriving into the UK, the demand is getting higher as the general resources are being cut simultaneously.

Ringing up and whining doesn't fix it.

Instead of being a little bitch, he should be doing everything to look after his family. Scrub the walls, paint them. Job done.

No sympathy at all. Man the fuck up and step up.

If my daughter is going to be poorly because of something I'd have it fixed tomorrow.

Harry & Meghan.

Not paid an awful lot of attention to them, but ended up passively watching the documentary as the missus wanted to watch it. Cannot believe the massive amount of victimhood performance going on. Some of what they went through was hard, no doubt, but they have absolutely zero self awareness and their behaviour is a joke. Narcissism is a fashionable word, but there is definitely some of it there. I'm sure I am not the only one that's ended up watching it and actually liked them less as a result of it.

Yes, but the bathroom window might as well be a Homebase showroom.

They can cry about privacy, but they keep doing media performances, including deciding to do this documentary. It's rather silly.

The Mail’s obsessive coverage of them has been unhinged for a long time. I don’t like either of them but its coverage is far from normal.

Regardless of them wanting publicity like
most celebrities do, its obsessive rolling coverage is still unhinged and not normal.
You must have some good connections to them if you’ve got that level of insight into their relationship dynamics.

The smarter royals understand that all they need to do is turn up and wave in exchange for getting wealth and privilege. Harry can’t be arsed with that but still uses the royal connection and title to enrich himself.

Almost, but not as odious as his uncle.

Well no. The difference between choosing to do media and having someone spy on your private life is quite large.

I can’t stand any of the Royals, this isn’t a defence of the people, but just because someone is in the public eye doesn’t give the public complete access to their lives. That’s tabloid spin you’re falling for.

How do you reconcile them imparting private details through hints and innuendo about their relationships with other members of their family? Isn't that intruding on *their* private life through the media?

Now tbf I can see there's a message to put out there, but I can't quite see how airing your dirty laundry works for anybody really.

Fair point. I still think there’s a distinction between something that directly involves you like a conversation and sticking a telephoto lens in your bathroom or whatever.
