I was a bit late getting it done and got 2 reminder phone calls from the Cancer Centre*. Got my blood taken about 2 weeks ago, and phoned up to get the results. The receptionist went over a pile of things I didn't even know were getting checked but no PSA result. "Oh, we don't get that, you have to phone the hospital." Ballix (I didn't actually say that), I've never had to phone the hospital before. However, the GP definitely didn't have them so phoned the hospital. ""Oh, no, nothing to do with us, if your GP surgery took the tests, they would get the results." Back to the GP surgery, got the same lassie as I had spoken to earlier, I didn't recognise her voice, but fortunately I didn't criticise her (something along the lines of "silly woman didn't know what she was doing" was running through my head), and they definitely didn't have them so we decided the best course of action was to get another test done, last week. Phoned yesterday to get the result and was told it had got lost in the system. Got an appointment slipped in at 14.10 yesterday afternoon, so third time lucky. *However, no more calls from the Cancer Centre, and I'm wondering whether they got the result of the first test, but leaving everyone else in the dark 0.03, pleased with that. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I never - ever - thought I'd be happy to spend only £6 on a bag or crisps and dip. The same two items on Sanday would have cost near £3 more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Almost 3 hours of trooping the colour on the national broadcaster today. I know I can and will watch something else but what an absolute lot of pish, the type of nonsense you'd be laughing at North Korea for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help wondering what they would have done if Charles had woken up and said, "To hell with it, I can't be arsed going out.

She answered it, and in a snooty accent told the caller that she was in a queue at Sainsburys and would call back shortly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 The elderly/ retired should be banned from entering town centres at the weekend. Maybe like one of those city centre Low Emission Zone type of situations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Headed into town to toast @SlipperyP's birthday (and the Scotland game). Ditched the vehicle and walked in, on the way in was the first red flag. Boys falling all over the shop. My local is smack bang in city centre and that was no better. Red faces, bucket hats and falling about all over the shop. Ordered a pint of pineapple juice said my pleasantries and headed. If I go out it has to be before 2pm or I don't enjoy it. This is how. I realise I'm acting like a crabbit bastirt but moderate your drinks until a certain time FFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow car game. We played a game in which you picked red or royal/navy blue, whereby two in a row would be a point, and three would be two points. However, you could gamble and go with two yellows, which would give you an all out win at any point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
