WILLIEA Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Doctor's office opens at 8.30. I have been calling since 8.29. I finally got through at 8.48 only to be told that all appointments have gone and since the surgery operates on a ridiculous system whereby you cannot make an appointment in advance and are only able to call on the day then I will need to go through the whole thing again tomorrow, and miss time from work as a result, unless they are able to squeeze me in as a cancellation at some point today, which means sitting all day waiting by the phone on the off chance they call, again missing time off work. Why make it so inconvenient? This is a pain in the butt. My GP in Dumfries was great, it was easy to arrange an appointment that suited both partys. Since moving here the local surgery operates a system as yo describe. It's useless. As for the suggestion of claiming it's an emergency, you would just be directed to NHS 24 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyblair Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 My credit card got rejected 3 times in The Living Room in Edinburgh last night then was accepted on the 4th attempt. No idea why - fuckers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I've more or less done so. I'm waiting on a doctor calling me. Doc just called me and will simply prescribe meds over the phone to a pharmacy. Result. Should finally be able to get rid of this clap now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 <br />I agree that that is annoying, but he suggested you should keep dipped beam on when the other side is empty.<br /> Fairly certain he wasn't. He was saying folk on the other side keeping their full beams on because there isn't a car infront of them despite it blinding you who is on the other side coming towards them, are the wankers. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 People who take trolleys to the self check out. . I despise self service checkout. probably because my first job was working on a till. I didn't enjoy doing it when i was getting paid for it, and i sure as hell don't enjoy doing it when it i'm not! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Anyone else got a dreaded vomiting bug? I came home early from work today as I've been feeling terrible and thought I'd have a bath. Started to feel better then, as I was getting out the bath, proceeded to projectile vomit all over the bathroom floor. I've not eaten anything today so it was two litres of Lucozade that came up. I've had to get my mum to come over and help me clean as I don't have the energy :-( 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endieinreekie Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 This is a real pet hate of mine. Especially when they do it to let their 6 year old daughter scan everything as slowly as possible.This always seems to happen at Tesco in Haddington. One of these days ill confront such a shopper. There should be a big 'Baskets Only' sign to ward off these fuckers. Ah yes, the Tesco in haddington handily built on a slope making it very interesting to try and load your shopping into your car whilst trying to stop your trolley buggering off down the hill 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFAANW Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The Fiat advert where a bunch of Fiat 500s drive underwater somewhere in Italy and then resurface in London while the text at the bottom reads "Fiction do not attempt".
