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.

Bit in the Telegraph today, saying Corbyn is going to help the 'Travelling community' get legal aid to help fight legal challenges about them parking illegally on other people's land!

I couldn't believe it! If this is right, Corbyn is a nutter!

Cue Fred

Manuel,

Does that mean the FT agrees with you or you agree with the FT?

Fred called me a gypsy once (after the days when i was Hitler) he hates travellers .

Seems that one tory villain has been caught!

Manuel,

FT is a reasonable paper as were the Times and Telegraph at one time, the latter now seems to be print corruptions of the "truth".


Thought you would be an "Expressive man".

oh no; not again!
you got it wrong once more :-)

Just had a word with the lady next door. Oh dear.

About a week ago, her 'feeble' 90 yr old husband tripped going into the conservatory from the lounge and obviously severely damaged his 'replaced hip joint leg'.

So he's there on the tiled floor of the conservatory and she phones '999'.....

She ended up having a row with the 999 operator, who was purporting, that because he was still concious, he might actually not need an ambulance. Our neighbour had a very strong argument with this person, etc, etc, etc, and the ambulance arrived about 10 minutes later.

After X-Rays, it turned out the old guy had not only dislocated his replaced hip joint but also broken his femur. Hmmm? Wow! Serious stuff, eh?

The surgeon duly ordered up a 'stair rod' for the femur repair and after a 5 hour operation, fixing the break and knocking the femur ball back into the hip socket a couple of days later, then duly returned said patient back to the ward.

But the old guy has been in a lot of serious pain......

So.....

Well, one week later they X-ray him again and find, that there is actually a crack in his femur. Existing crack? New crack? Hmmm?

The surgeon tells the guy's wife, that 'they' consider they cannot do the operation to repair the crack in the femur becasue they fear the patient might very easily not survive the duration of the operation. They want to wait and see if the crack repairs itself....

My old friend cannot move without excruciating pain. If he doesn't move about he is going to become yet more feeble, get bed sores, probably get pneumonia and just die. He is so very hard of hearing and cannot easily see things either. Reading material and TV are not a lot of use to him.

His wife is very upset but has to agree, her husband might not survive and operation.

As to whether the crack in the femur was missed initially, or created in the operation to insert the 'stair rod' into his femur, or by rough methodology used to insert the 'stair rod' into the femur, she doesn't find it easy to ask. The surgeon is not up for answering questions anyway, and is 'typically old school and arrogant'. No one is saying, he didn't do his best. No one is saying either, that my neighbour did ought to be operated on. He surely would be now more likely to die this time than he was the last time. That operation also obviously had 'patient survival' as a big query too.

Our lady neighbour visits her husband daily from early in the morning until mid-evening, helping to nurse him and feed him and do whatever else she can.

Sad or wot?

OMG!

Only a few weeks ago, the polls brought nothing but joy for the Tories.

With just six days to go until election day, that’s no longer the case. An Ipsos Mori survey out today cuts the Conservative lead down to just five points. Labour’s support has burst through the 40 per cent mark – rising by six points since Ipsos Mori’s last poll on May 18th.

The poll comes off the back of this week’s shock YouGov estimate, which suggested we could be heading for a hung Parliament.

And YouGov’s updated election model for today doesn’t bring any better news for the Tories: it suggests that Theresa May will now fall 13 seats short of an overall majority.

the ig indicator has weakened in sympathy, implying a tory majority of 35

111

thought you were going to say you'd put £100 ew on TM :-)

Lr---I thought you put money on a 63 majority

Who other than Sid and Doris Bonkers is going to vote for Jezza?


He cant even rely on Fred.

Measure your career so far, against theirs.

Renationalising the railways will cut costs for commuters, Labour has promised.



Of course it will, there's no need to buy a ticket if the trains aren't running.

George,

Who owns the UK's railways? Well, not British firms in many cases

Corbyn confirmed again this evening that any rogue state that develops a nuclear weapon is free to take pot shots at us without any fear of a nuclear retaliation if he's in charge.

Nice one Jezza.
