As AF beer goes its actually pretty decent. Ironically, the normal Perlenbacher is stinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Erdinger Alkoholfrei has a decent flavour to it, but it still has that thing where a second one gives you furry teeth and the artificial sweetness really stands out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an MRI this Sunday ETA - in case that came out wrong, I'm just saying if it's Forth Valley they're lying to you. I had a check in there on Wed afternoon and they said they'd arrange an MRI. I got a call on Thu morning giving me a choice of appointments on Sunday. My wife just got out after 2 weeks seriously ill. She discharged herself because of the utter uselessness of some of the nurses. She's making a better recovery at home than she was in there. She now has sepsis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened to my wife - infection markers went off the scale and one of her kidneys shut down. Her canula sites all got infected too. There was an Indian nurse on duty a couple of nights, an older woman who seemed very competent and efficient. Turns out her husband travels the world with his job and she takes agency work in hospitals nearby. She rates British hospitals as among the worst she's worked in. She was looking forward to October when she's off to Iran where the health service is miles ahead of ours apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 She should write to the Daily Mail and petition them to run a propaganda campaign to convince pensioners that all we need to do to fix our broken NHS is become an Islamic Theocracy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but if nurses get the chop here the only thing they lose is their job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Who is more important?

Last place I worked got rid of the cleaners because they were shite. New contract allocated; new contractor hired the same cleaners because they had experience working in that specific work place. Unsurprisingly, they were still shite but the contract was for 2 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was paid the minimum wage as cleaners tend to be I wouldn't be knocking my pan out to do a good job. Maybe by paying better money and showing they are integral to healthcare rather than treating them as being bottom of the heap things might improve Or perhaps I'm just some dangerous Bolshevik 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous post was aimed at procurement looking for the cheapest option and getting the same result when they went for the cheapest option. Why these jobs are tendered out to external companies resulting in an inability to hold them to account is just bizarre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 First time I've had this but at lunch with the fam and my daughter has a fairly obvious disability. The woman at the next table was looking her up and down which I personally don't care about because people will look at the unusual. What boiled my piss was she shook her head, like shook her head. Who the f**k asked for your pity, we're just out for lunch then going to play in the park. She doesn't need it. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course in 2019 the Bahamas' worst-ever natural disaster, Hurricane Dorian, levelled the place. The Grand Bahama airport was a temporary building and a few shipping containers, and much of the tourist infrastructure was destroyed or still closed. I'm pretty sure the precise moment the storm seeded itself in the Atlantic was when we hit the confirm button on the booking. At least it made for a peaceful holiday as much of it was deserted. I'm there now playing cat and mouse with some hurricane or other. Had to change ports of call next week to avoid it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
