…. Still waiting on a bed on the ward at 5am. At least we’re keeping each other company. But no beds on a ward. Not started on antibiotics yet. Just iv fluids and paracetamol. Cannot really leave his side until some management starts.

Musings as we approach 5am GMT-
I’m shattered and sleep deprived trying to sleep on a chair in HDU while keeping my Papa company as he snores- with a CRP of 270 and borderline sepsis with acute on chronic confusion.
GP attended for home visit at 12pm- admitted to medics via A&E at 3pm…

Someone said to me "Why's Nigel Farage's girlfriend on Question Time?"

I said, "I don't think she is."

They said, "Look, it's her!."

And pointed at Fiona Bruce.

So, if there was a small family of four speaking Dutch in a part of New York, living next door to 20 hollering people shouting in English, would it be reasonable for the small Dutch family to question why those 20 are next door?

This is just the VP promoting future ghettos for some cohorts 😞

I had a haircut last week

It took a week to book & when I arrived there was only one hairdresser, instead of the usual 4

One away, one sick, one unable to recruit

A man walked in, honestly he looked in great need of a haircut

‘Sorry mate we’re fully booked’

The parallels …

I’m gonna take my time getting to this 1990/91 was a personal watershed moment for me- what with being bitten by the football bug, obsessing over Spurs, predicting the Cup Finalists, praying to god before Extra Time, blitzing my GCSEs, meeting my future wife.
Strange year 1991

We just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.

Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into a version of Trump's America. We stopped him.

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep

Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications

This should also be banned

Influence being bought in Govt

Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy

Reminds me of watching the second half capitulation against Bayern Munich in 2019 as Poch was about to exit.
At 2-5 I started to leave my seat in the Park Lane, got to the bottom of the stairs 2-6. By the time I got outside 2-7
We all felt like lemmings at Northumberland Pk Station

Worst result in the League Cup? Maybe.
But I’m thinking 6-2 and Sheffield Utd and 7-1 v Magpies. I think there was 0-6 v Chelsea under Gross IIRC

Either he’ll be at NHS Confed 2026, or there could be a timely cabinet reshuffle just before the event. Otherwise I’ll be warming up my slow clap

Agree. In Hide and Q, he’s clean shaven, granted omnipotence and laughs maniacally against a rock.
