I was trying to hold fire with my comment, but now you've said it yourself, I feel I can now make it.

In my experience, do not buy anything from Wowcher!

Saw him play once when I was about 9 or 10, when Watford played Dorking in a friendly, just before he went to LFC.

Is that actually the LFC goal of the season comp or the league's?

and the food looks a bit rough

Oh Arne...

The word on the street (or terraces) is that some of the fans at Anfield actually started signing "you're getting scratched in the morning", the rest of the crowd mis-heard and sang "you're getting sacked in the morning" instead.

Not sure I believe it, but either way, it was clearly sang in jest as Pep is never going to get sacked after what he's done for City and the crowd knew that too.

Haven't been for at least 4 years, when I stopped working in KT. Used to get a halloumi wrap at least once a week!

Way to deflate the man's fil worship man!

First and foremost, let me just state that I love the NHS and the principle of free at the point of use is one that I will defend to the death, but fuck me, it's become a fucking state.

The following have all happened in the last 6 months.

MiL has been diagnosed with cancer. She found out because she turned up to the hospital last week for an appointment (gyno) to be told, you don't have an appointment with us today, but you have an appointment on Friday with oncology. She's since had the appointment and its a very aggressive form of cancer, that spreads quickly and has apparently been caused by the vast amount of radiation she received from the last time she got cancer. Now, she's had symptoms for months, but the GP has been dawdling "oh don't worry, if it continues we can refer you under the two week rule". Well it did go on for months and didn't refer her under the two week rule, which is the fucking point of the two week rule.

FiL has been on high blood pressure tablets for years, but no one has actually been checking his blood pressure to see if they're actually working. Surprise surprise, he's in heart failure due to high blood pressure and has atrial fibrillation. Cardiologist performed an op to fix the heart. What they didn't do, at any point is warn him that at his age, going under general anaesthetic can signigicantly increase the likelihood of triggering or accelerating dementia. So, now he has been diagnosed with vascular dementia and is deteriorating fast. Now, up until recently he was walking a few miles a day, was volunteering at the steam railway, machining parts and even flying gliders solo. Now he can't remember how to tie his shoelaces.

SiL had a premature baby at 28 weeks who very sadly died after 3 days. There was an investigation into the death. The report is a shit show. It firstly states 3 different causes of death in different parts of the report. The timeline of events is completely inaccurate. Its states that the mother has illnesses that she did not. It does however state that the care was completely inadequate.

I had previously started to lose some faith in the system after my mothers death 5 years ago, but it just seems to be getting worse. My mum had a cough for months, kept going to the GP and kept getting sent back telling her it was nothing to worry about. When the GP finally did act, they found out she had lung cancer, stage 4. Even then she didn't get any treatment for a month and passed within 3 months of diagnosis.

Sorry rant over.

He did a nice review of the kebab place on Kentish Town high street that i used to go to in my lunch breaks sometimes though...

Always found Hugo Rifkind quite funny on panel shows. Don't generally read his opinion pieces however.

I've only recently gotten into astronomy after having an interest in cosmosolgy at a basic level for a while (e.g. Brian Cox documentaries and a few books, not studying for a PHD or anything).

Recently bought a telescope and having been frustrated for the seemingly 3 months of solid cloud cover, have managed to find and see Saturn with my own eyes through it, which is amazing!

I've seen some sick things posted on this forum, but this thread...

Keep seeing posts about that place on FB. Looks fab. I've got ticket to an evening event at Greenwich Royal Observatory in Jan, for some talks, a tour of the historic telescope and some observations outside, weather permitting.

It legitimises Trump when he inevitably pardons not himself and all his cronies.

Deffo a number of H&S breaches on that excavation, unsupported excavation, no edge protection, incorrect PPE, inadequate access/egress and I'm not even and expert.

I would report to HSE also.

But no Golf Cabriolet?

Par-ty time

Yes, but then it's not in the position I want it for driving position.

It's not just this car, but every car I've ever had (owned or company cars).

This occurred to me as I was driving home this evening and it's kind of a confluence of various topics that I've been reading through on this forum recently (car thread, people not dipping headlights, being tall...)

Anyway, but the ergonomics of things.

I have never had a car, where I have the seat and the steering wheel adjusted for the most comfortable driving position, where I can actually see the top most row of information lights on the dashboard. Every car I have ever had, I have to dip my whole head down to see the lights that tell you that your headlights are on or that tell you that your full beam is on because the steering wheel is on the way.

I did some ergonomics modules at uni and seem to remember that, at best, things are generally designed for the 5th to the 95th percentile. If you're outside of those margins, you have to just put up with it or buy specialised stuff.
