Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Max thats why I say they need better management and the government need to keep out of it.

Its like schools, far too much government busy bodies.

what a brilliant solution Max - NOT!!

in fact, i'm pretty sure that you'ld find 99.5% of nurses and doctors would be more than affronted by your insinuation

as for fred ......
he can come up with nothing remotely sensible to say, merely spluttering out yet another stream of claptrap with the usual skewed political snipe inserted

Allez-y, bugdoodle!

:o)

hilary - where vous is used out of politeness but with a singular meaning, should not the past participle still have an "s" at the end?

hilary..bugdoodle est un brave type, mais vraiment très humide derrière les oreilles, très vert. Il doit se assurer qu'il se occupe de son argent ou il sera victime de la bourse ... ps, décrire tome lentement ce que vous portez se il vous plaît.

Bloody hell cynic, your being petty.

Sugar DOW going down the nick again.

it's a long time since i wrote french, and even the speech element is pretty rusty, but i was trying to check my grammatical memory

i daren't correct your stuff though there are certainly some glaring basic errors :-)

Dow - oh goody goody :-)
may even bank a partial profit before the evening is done

Mark Carne WILL NOT TAKE HIS BONUS THIS YEAR.........................well done that man.

Should be more like him.


I think he should now be up for an CBE

c.

I know a little (through others) about how the average nhs hospital and it's staff run things.

Not very well in most cases, with absolute stunning pig headedness being the order of the day.

This goes right across the board, from floor wipers to prima-donna medico's and management beyond.

It's an unholy shambles.

Cynic WHAT??????????????

History shows this period until 7th Jan is mostly bullish.

Bloody Greeks.

Max......the old fashioned MATRON should be brought back.

Hetty Jakes style.

Sort the NHS out in 6 months.

You're probably right re 53965, Cyners.

To be honest, my French gets me through on a day by day basis, but there are certain aspects of it that I really do struggle with sometimes. I'm still at the stage where I mentally have to translate to English and then back into French again. I'm told there's a point where, one day, it all falls into place and flows naturally, at which point you no longer need to translate back and forth, but I don't know that I can be bothered to wait that long.

:o)

Right Im going for my Stamp Pie for New Years Eve. Local bred, local butcher.

Far better pork pies here in the north than down south.

Need a big jar of pickles now and some HP sauce.

Duplicated thread.

It's a good idea gf, but it's time has passed, it's all tick box these days.

And if the box is ticked in the correct manner, then everything must be ok.

Disagree Max.

Anythings possible with the will.

best pork pies are from melton mowbray which is leics!

Ah, the gilded prize gf.

The will.

It doesent exist in todays nhs, too many cushy numbers to protect.
