I am really glad that you were sorted out in a timely manner, and this maybe down to the particular practice as some are so much better than others.

I always knew that Hazel had a big heart but it seems that the N.H.S. Consuultants are going to prove me right after damn near sixty years,after all the blood tests, x rays and whatever it seems that they have come to the conclusion that she (may have) an enlarged heart; she has to go back again tomorrow for another scan this time for her heart.

Please do not take this as a flippant comment but at the moment I am struggling to accept the diagnoses, Although Hazel (as always), is taking in her stride.
Taddy, I know that you are struggling to cope, but you will cope....and part if that will be because your lovely Hazel is not making a big fuss.

All you can do is take things one day at a time....and trust that whatever needs to be done will be done.

missed my 12 monthly hospital visit to the eye clinic due to the con flu. got a pointless phone call from the specialist there asking how my eyes were. i told him that i hadn,t a clue as i have no eye chart at home or ability to check my own eyes. having glaucoma which i only found out by accident when going for new reading glasses years ago cannot be diagnosed by phone as i imagine other things cannot be.

I suppose this is the thread for this item:-

https://vimeo.com/448914764/a7516d3e...0e00550a180510

Lots of people have been hit hard by covid affecting their work, why are actors to be treated any different?

Shop workers, factory workers and many, many more people are facing an insecure future I would rather pay Ł5 towards their future than to the overpaid untalented 'luvvies' that are paraded in the many repeats on the haunted fishtank in the corner of my room.

Less...I would not give them the steam off my tea.
They have earned(in the past) more than some of us will earn in a lifetime.
Plus they have had the ability to avoid paying taxes by salting their money in offshore accounts.
So if they are on their uppers, then that is their fault.
They need to get with the real world...sell some of their stuff, downsize, pull the belt a bit tighter.

I have zero sympathy for them.

Re: Corona Virus

Exile, much of the stuff in that report has been posted on here.....sometimes by you, sometimes by me.
I think there are people who have read the stuff we have researched(from other than mainstream sources) and have maybe (at best) considered us to be nuts. Both of us(I refuse to be in this alone).
I know that I have been taken to task for my stance...yet all I was doing was providing relevant information that would allow people to see that we are being bamboozled by government....and would allow them to review the scientific evidence for themselves.

When a manufacturer of face masks puts a notice on the package that says the mask will not protect them or anyone else from the Virus.....the believe the manufacturer, they know the spec and tolerance of the product.

I have said for a long time that viruses will pass through all the masks.....and that once masks become moist there is a two way traffic of viruses, bacteria and fungal spores.
But no-one listens.
It is obvious government speaks louder than the science.....and that the instilled fear is so deep rooted that it has paralysed all rational thought and action.

if you actually wanted to wear a face muzzle anyway you would attempt to purchase the best one available no matter what the cost and follow all instructions regarding their life span and cleaning available. people have been put in a situation where they are ticking a box just to keep others off their backs. they will end up that the dirtyest thing on their body is not a muddy shoe its their face covering.

Re: Corona Virus

Today, while out and about I saw numerous people taking single use masks out of their pockets and putting them on to enter shops.
Who knows how many uses these masks have had, and what bacteria they are carrying and transmitting to others?
These people were handling baskets and trolleys with hands that were contaminated by their mask....some did not use the sanitiser on entering shops.
Anything they touch can transmit whatever they are carrying. The person on the till feels safe because the person they are serving is wearing a mask...what they don't know is that everything in their trolley or basket has been contaminated by (dirty) hands.

Oh well, I guess it will give the till operators immune system something to work on.

Re: Corona Virus

Re: Corona Virus

There has been some propaganda on TV masquerading as an advert.
'This not a mask, this is freedom'
The hell it it!
How can it be freedom if it is mandatory?
How easy it is to brainwash the general public...it seems they want to be Brain rinsed.
