I was wrong about the rain. It did stop. Yesterday afternoon. Ten minutes after I got home yesterday afternoon.

The weather gods strongly believe that the essence of comedy is all in the timing.

I can't remember whether it was in this thread that there was some complaining about irrelevant music on websites. Well, http://pzhgp.wielun.pl/ click if you dare.

How can this clinic go from being "30 minutes late" when I arrived (35 minutes early for my appointment, as it happens) to being "90 minutes late" over the course of the next half an hour?

If I am flogging a bike, don't be sending me PMs offering me a ridiculously low amount for it. I think a one-word answer was the most you deserved. (This was another another place, I add...)

Oh, and it's not 90 minutes late as is still being displayed: it's already 110 minutes since the time of my appointment :-/

Fewer staff in clinic than expected? If a doc is expected and doesn't turn up, it doubles the workload for remaining people...

110 mins is a bit of a pisstake tho, I'd be inclined to chunter and see if you can be seen sooner.

Oaky · « **Reply #4006 on:** 22 October, 2013, 02:23:14 pm »

Well, I was eventually seen, just under two hours after the appointment time.

The session itself only took 10 minutes (possibly less!), but the news is good

- the bone is healing well, and there's no ligament damage, so from now on, I can remove the wrist splint (wearing it only in "uncontrolled" situations... I guess basically in situations where I might expect to tweak my wrist). The consultant also said that I can start back on the bike as soon as it feels comfortable to do so.

(Sorry - veering a bit off-topic for the "Grumble" thread, and into the "Good News" arena)

ah, fracture clinic.

Notorious for A&E just booking eeryone in to be seen at 8am so they start the day on time but with 20 patients for 4 appointments.

Glad to hear you will be back on your bike shortly

My Grumble:

Sodding hip, sort yourself out, I only spent 2.5 hours on Sunday stood up and 4 the car. I should not be still dosing up to the eyeballs on codine.
Trying to decide if I should go back to hte GP and see if we can push the hospital to accelerate the surgery or if I should wait till week 17 (Feb).

The consultant remarked this morning that he was seeing me precisely at my appointment time. This seems to be a rare event.

Michael Ball filling for Ken Bruce today.

I am amused by his time-filling before PopMaster (last time he was heavily criticised by listeners for starting thirty seconds early).

I am pleased that he can competently helm PopMaster (despite not knowing of The Equals

- I'll put that down to the pressure of the quiz), unlike Zoe Ball or Claudia Winkelman, who regularly make a complete hash of it.

I was pleased to hear Private Investigations. While not particularly a fan of Dire Straits, I did have the albums up to and including Love Over Gold, and Private Investigations is one track I do like.

However, to follow it with Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines would have been bad enough just for being a crap record, but, more importantly, I don't want to hear music that's a bit rapey on Radio 2.

There's a rather cool double rainbow arcing over the harbour, but I don't have a camera with me

If T42 has mushrooms and snakes as well, I can understand the toothache, but the dentist might be daunted.

At 6.30 this morning, with a temperature of 12C and light drizzle, a gritting lorry went past my house with stuff spraying out of the back.
WTF

Were they expecting the temerature to plummet, or are Central Beds Council not as hard-up as they try and make out?

Now I've got to wash bloody rock salt off my bike.

Oh crap. Some gitinavan is hauling loads of disco gear into the pub. I'd better bugger off home.

I'm an idiot. I've somehow managed to lose a whole hour changing the freewheel on the singlespeed and readjusting the tension. Now I don't have the time to make it to the ride I was planning on doing
