    I do understand that too, the availability of the relevant doctor on call, but what about actually seeing people in the first place to determine what doctor from which discipline needs to be called for and how fast? I mean people with possible cardiac or appendix or other urgent things need to be seen quite fast, initially.

    .

    That is what a triage nurse is doing ?

    Triage is putting people in different queues for a reason .,There are orthopaedic , medical and surgical queues in major A and E's . The team for orthopaedic might have less to see or might be moving quicker so Mr Skinor Miss Ankle might have been seen by one team and you were waiting for another ?
    Also in many hospital children will take priority as they get sick very quickly and and cannot voice a deterioration . BY no means are nurses perfect but in my opinion the staff on the ground in the HSE are carrying the whold show on their shoulders with very little support .

    Have just seen edit.
    On this occasion I was accompanying someone, and stayed with them, I was not the patient. Otherwise I would not have been talking to other patients. And on my own visit to A and E I was never a cardiac patient.

    Like most genuine people I don't go to A and E if I'm fit enough to converse with people around me.

    Also noted by many, those who make a nuisance by repeatedly asking are ushered in quicker. Those who can't do so, wait. Of course you can contend that the relevant experts are just busier in their cases but when an A and E looks like a field hospital and the sick are waiting longer than the laughing, healthy ones, I have to say something about the system needs to be reorganised so that it works better for the patients and the hardworking staff.

    When MS Ankle is brought through she'd be seen by the ER Doctor, the same as when Mr. Cardiac is brought through , so Mr. Cardiac could see ER doctor faster if Ms Ankle was diverted to her local injuries unit instead of wasting ER Doctor's time with her sprain.

    TA Retaking wedding vows. Friend dropping hints ''If I'm ever lucky enough to retake my vows with Mr. E, at X location, I've seen the perfect dress..etc'' Mr E obviously doesn't see the need either or you wouldn't be annoying everyone about it instead of hinting through us at your own husband. Who is in the room. And has ears. Talk to him.

    Sitting in my car, in a private car park checking my phone when these two doses, young ones from a "protected minority" walked up beside my car and stood in front of it, laughing joking and being loud, kept staring in at me and laughing. I can't keep my mouth shut anyway so when I hear "I'll knock on her wiiindiiit now in a miiinnnittt" I leaped out of my car and was like sorry girls do you have a problem? One of them just kept staring at me and the other one was like no sorry lavvve. You want to knock on my window?! Ohhh no she was just messin sayin ye were taking pictures of asss. Taking pictures of ye? Have you seen the state of yourselves? I wouldn't take a picture of you if my life depended on it.

    One kept saying sorry and the other one say nothing but kept sniggering, the one that was apologising got real angry with her and told her to shut her mouth but she wasn't saying anything.

    I told her if she knocked on my window she'd have a problem and they just walked off but I can still hear their drawl ecchoing around the car park even though I can't see them.

    Dunno what annoys me more, them or the fact I'm so confrontational

    The bus was late and then it was full of sh1tty teenagers going home from school. There were so many of them the driver couldn't take every one. Then there was this guy with a whistle who kept blowing it and telling everyone to move back, he was a bit special so nobody gave out to him, but the constant blowing on the whistle and all of the teenagers laughing and standing in the way was p1ssing me right off. I got up before my stop but this bunch of girls wouldn't move, even when I said ''sorry'' so I just started shoving them out of the way and they were squealing and laughing and pretending to fall over. I'd just been to the dentist and I'd missed lunch so I was thinking that this was not a good time to be testing me.

    People on about themselves all the time. No bloody interest in me or what's going on in my life only complete obsession with their own crap. Go do one.

    This times a million.
    My bf's parents are the worst for this. Going on and on about family things and I say oh we're going on holiday tomorrow and it was ignored.

    TA also when the answer to how are you is either alright or tired. Baffling

    I might not be too popular for this but I have a big ta about the media reminding up every few days that there are three thousand children in emergency accommodation. Very sad I know but I've gone from feeling empathetic to guilty to irritated. Apart from continuing to pay my taxes and give to homeless charities there is not much more I can do. I know it's good to keep highlighting this issue but I am beginning to suffer from housing crisis fatigue. I'll know, I know I'll be banished to hell!

    It might not work for everyone, but try pressing the tip of your nose, just near the nostrils, towards your forehead. :) Hope it passes soon.

    Going to take the last mouthful of a mug of tea and realised I already finished it. Cheated:(
    Putting my finger through the bag of flour I just bought.
    My sinuses are driving me mental and I can never remember to do my nasal rinses. I wish I could take my head off and wash it through with a hose.

    Yep, pretty much :D, but more like (0o) - it works better if you press it slightly to one side as well as up.

    The robe I got last weekend is too small and the tag has come off. I have the receipt and it's M&S, going to ask if they'll change it but will be very TA'd if they don't even though it's my fault I love it otherwise.

    I am exhausted. I hate going to bed early on Friday. I feel like I'm wasting some of my weekend but I can't keep my eyes open.

    I thanked your post for the phantom last sip of tea but removed it for the nasal rinses because I get a mental image

    TA how easily things put me off
