Why are today’s GPs so lazy?

Years ago it was a part of their job to travel to the homes of patients who were too sick to get in to the surgery, but not anymore. Now it is all but impossible to get a doctor to visit someone at home.

My parents, who are both eighty years old, have been really poorly on a few different occasions. Each time they have rung the doctor he has refused to come Read the rest of this entry »

What is it with people and fishing? In just about every job I have had, there have been loads of blokes there who are nuts about going fishing. They sit talking about it for hours on end and showing each other photographs of themselves holding a large carp or trout.

It is sooooooooo boring!!! For God’s sake, why would anyone want to spend their day off work sitting on a river bank waiting for ‘a bite’? People like this really Read the rest of this entry »

‘What goes around, comes around’.

I’ve been thinking a lot about that philosophy lately. I’ve noticed that it has been cropping up in all sorts of places; in books I read, songs I listen to and conversations I have. But is there actually any truth in it?

Some people would say that if you go through life being nice to other people, then it is going to come back to you. If you are friendly, generous and caring then others Read the rest of this entry »

People sometimes forget how much difference it can make by choosing the right words for something. When you are in business, writing can be a very powerful tool; if you are wise then you will find the best way to use it!

This post called, ‘Conversions – Get Rid of Those Boring Headlines’ is talking about exactly the same thing. No-one is going to waste their time clicking on things that do not sound interesting. Whatever it is that you Read the rest of this entry »

The thought of being just like everyone else fills me with absolute horror. To me it is a nightmare scenario that is strongly reminiscent of ‘Invasion of The Body Snatchers’ or some other 1950s science fiction feature. Armies of clones should only appear in your darkest of dreams–

Why on earth would I want to be just the same as everyone around me? How unimaginative it would be if we all dressed, spoke, ate and slept in exactly the same Read the rest of this entry »

Maybe it is because I am getting older, but television commercials drive me absolutely nuts. The minute that they come on I am desperately searching for the mute button on the remote control. I strongly object to being bombarded by things that do not interest me.

Bearing this in mind, it was really nice to stumble upon this post by someone else who feels just the same.

If the average person actually sat through all of the commercials between programs Read the rest of this entry »

Okay I am going to rant a little here but I don’t care.

I read this blog post entitled Stephanie Louise Stone over at Jimmy’s Weblog. Now I actually know “Frank”. The likelyhood of him reading either this or Jimmy’s post is minimal - he works on computers alot so trys his best not to socialise on them in his free time! Fair play I say. Anyway - how much does that suck?
I really mean this. Fank was really Read the rest of this entry »

I was shocked when I saw on the BBC website that a GP was killed by swine flu or not as it happens. The reason I found this so shocking was my personal doctor, swine Dr B lets call him as just be diagnosied with the old pig flu!
I went allong their to get in a fight about not being put on the sleeping register and guess what I found yes you know it a locum doctor. Who was Read the rest of this entry »

Okay I know this is nasty and I know I’ll probable get some flack for this but wasn’t Micheal Jackson the king of pop, kind of asking for it by booking 50 gigs in a row. He was a 50 year old man. That kind of exercise would kill me and I’m still young.

Micheal life had been a mess for quite a while now. I would not be suprised if he silently popped a few too many pill and Read the rest of this entry »
