Preparing myself to do battle with my CF clinic in Cork tomorrow. I told them well over a month before I was leaving that I needed a transfer letter to join a CF clinic in the UK. They kept telling me they'd started it and that it was ready to print off and then when I tried to pick it up they gave me some excuse about the typist already being on her Christmas holidays so they'd scan it in and email it to me in the New Year. Let's see what the excuse will be tomorrow. I don't know what the story is with them. When I moved to Dublin they tried to block me going to St Vincent's CF clinic for about six months by just delaying my transfer letter. Having CF is enough of a balls, but actually the amount of chasing GPs, pharmacies and hospitals that I have to do is a job in itself. I feel really uneasy being in the UK and not having access to a GP or a CF clinic right now, I just need the safety net in case I get ill and I'll need to refill my prescriptions soon.

Absolutely discusting Lady MB . There is no excuse for poor practice in this day and age . How about preparing yourself for any emergency , get a note book and write down all info about yourself . A and E are always open and if you need anything at all just arrive to one . Have your passport with you as you are then an EU member and entitled to free care .
Don't be nervous in the UK. The support is there if and when you need it

Ps . If you don't want to carry a passport around take a photo on you phone of the number .

LMcB, once you settle in the UK i.e. as soon as you're in the door and have a bill in your name, register with a GP, they'll make you go through a nurse appointment first (standard process) but you don't want to be doing then if you need them urgently.
That was at least, even if you move address, you'd always have that one as a fall back until you register at the next.

Not sure if you can still get one from HSE or NHS now but check up on this

This has been the slowest morning of my life.

It's "yea or nay".

Not yay.

Not ye.

And certainly motherfcuking not "yhey".

Jesus wept.

TA’d at the bus being packed and having to sit in an aisle seat. TA’d at Christmas being over & having to go back to London. TA’d by life in general

Last Friday went into Doc's with son who was really bad with flu (has other health issues too) and asked receptionist if I could renew my inhaler for asthma which was running out, and I was afraid I would need it badly as I also had flu symptoms. Receptionist told me I would have to wait until after the New Year, made it really difficult for me, and spun me a yarn of admin jargon saying it has to be signed by Doc and Nurse, blah blah.. we are closing in 40 mins... but if you talk nicely to Doc..she might give it to you, etc..
I asked what would happen if I took ill over the weekend (have had some nasty asthma attacks) and was told I would need to use out of hours Doc. I replied that I could still not get my prescription refilled and still had a chance as chemists were still open. and I was in my Doc's own surgery.. are these people really on the side of patients or what??
Doc gave it to me in the end, but not without a 'rap on the knuckles' from Doc for looking for it 40 mins before closing, even though it was really quiet, in that there were only two patients present.
Not impressed. Business model of medicine, feck the (fully-paying) patient.
Rant over, but thanks for the opportunity.
@ Lady... bloody disgraceful in your case. No, worse than that. Bloody remiss, uncaring and negligent.

Already sick to the back teeth of people's fcuking shlt. A lot of people didn't get the ride over Christmas

ohnonotgmail · 02-01-2018 01:49PM

TA'd that i'm too cold if i take my hoodie off but too hot if i put it on.

SusieBlue · 02-01-2018 02:39PM

The amount of posts I'm seeing on fb about dogs who went missing on NYE is infuriating.
Just saw one, apparently the dog escaped from the garden because he was scared of the fireworks and is now lost.
Never mind the fact that the weather was freezing and wet, fireworks and loud noises can be TERRIFYING for dogs. Its nothing short of cruel to leave them outside on a night like that. Its absolutely reckless.
These people shouldn't be allowed own pets. How can people be so stupid. I've seen at least 5 similar posts today.

Speaking to a customer care person who I cannot for the life of me understand!

And before anyone criticises, I understand their english is far better than my *insert language*, but I am not on the phone trying to dispense technical advice!

I ended up telling them that I had to go and that I would ring back

CrowdedHouse · 02-01-2018 03:03PM

Nothing like an aul game of wrassle the duvet and cover to put you in good humour. 19 times out of 20 I have no problem whatsoever but today they were being awkward...

A youngfella here in the office was telling me at some length about a dream he had on New Year's Eve night in which Darth Vader turned up, used the Force to upend him into a wastepaper basket, magiced him off to some island somewhere and spent hours Force-walloping him against some cliffs while still in the basket. Bitchaz be trippin'. :pac:

I have a migraine brewing

RobbingBandit · 02-01-2018 04:45PM

Air pressure is killing me so warm damn leg veins are popping like I'm on the David Carradine experience in a Thai hotel.

Tldr Heavy weather **** off please you're making me hot and humid

Lady Vader and that's an S&M weekend break.

mikemac2 · 02-01-2018 05:15PM

Under pressure, trying to hit deadlines in work. The boss asked me if I was chasing another team. We use the Microsoft chat, ah most offices have it

What I meant to say was “ I im’ed the person who sent that email”

What I actually said was “ I sent a pm to the OP”

Nooooooo.Hey mods give me a ban. I need a break from boards

LadyMacBeth_ · 02-01-2018 05:26PM

Pretty sure the woman working in Asda who helped me at the self service check out thinks that I'm special. I forgot to bring shopping bags and there were these clear plastic bags at the check out but no barcode to scan them so I was wondering if maybe they're free in the UK. I didn't want to chance it though because I thought they had a 5p levy so I asked the woman working there if I had to pay for them and she looked at me like I had two heads, first she couldn't understand what I was saying and then I repeated myself and she told me that I didn't have to scan them in, that I could just put in the number of bags at the end. She ended up scanning the rest of my shopping for me, laughing away because I forgot I had two jumpers to scan too. Why do I always seem to come across as totally inept.

Not just you, my friend who works in a Tesco near Covent Garden says she can spot an Irish tourist because they are always confused by exactly what happened to you, Many times holding up the lunchtime/after work crowd by trying to scan bags that don't have a code. But you'll know for next time.

TA'ed having to repeat myself all day every day since Christmas Eve, then I get my head snapped off when I whisper what a deaf so and so he is and he hears that!

TA, No Storm thread on After Hours, it's getting bumpy out there tonight.

SusieBlue · 02-01-2018 07:19PM

Idiots on Facebook groups who are incapable of a single intelligent thought.

‘Hi girls, I ordered a dress from (insert random UK website) at 2am and paid for next day delivery but it’s still not here and I need it for tonight?!?! What should I do xxx’

Seriously. Do these people think the company uses carrier pigeons to send packages or what. Spare me.
