My local surgery. Have to go online to get an appointment. Did that and got one at 11.30 except I am at work in Nottingham. Called to cancel and ask if there was a later one. Nope the person I have been allocated to only works until 12.30. Will I always be allocated this person, yes unless she is off. Ok what about tomorrow, nope can only book for the same day. Ok if I take a morning off can I guarantee an appointment. Nope. So I can only apply for an appointment 20 minutes after I get on a train for work and if I get one I basically have to get on the next train back as I cannot get later appointments oh and if I take a morning off work there is no guarantee I will get an appointment then.

Recycling
Im currently in Northumberland for the week, and yes the place is severely overlooked for it beauty, however rhd recycling is absolutely crap.
At home,they take food and garden waste(sell it for compost), normal rubbish, paper and cardboard , tins, plastics and glass.All weekly
Up here, fortnightly rubbish and only paper, card and some plastic. All glass goes in the general rubbish.
Whete is the jojned up thinking?

We have fortnightly rubbish and recyclables as you say.
In my town they are trialling food waste bins with the aim of rolling it out county wide at some point. We have a food waste bin. That is taken weekly.
They are also trialling glass recycling in homes but it isn't county wide yet. Some parts of my town have it, we don't yet. There are glass recycling drop offs all over though. We recycle all of our glass, we have glass drop offs on our estate. There will be one near to where you are staying, or there should be.
I agree though, it should be better. I think the large size of the county, how far places are spread with a lot of nothing in-between doesn't help

Football fans who would rather record their team taking a penalty on their phone and forego actually celebrating the goal.

This seems to be the norm at most big events now.
I don’t get it,just enjoy the moment.

Does the main Q box work ok?
I discovered on a helicopter trip in Hawaii nearly 30 years ago that attempting to document an experience with photos simply results in missing out on the point of said experience.

Had to start using teams for instant messaging when skype shut last month, its just not as good as skype, it does so much more but I don't need what it does and miss what it doesn't do
getting a reality check on the bike last night. coming back along the canal after my loop around the dochfore est climbs, feeling good doing 20MPH, a guy in sandals and Tshirt went past me like i was standing still, couldnt hold the wheel for too long and he was gone, out of sight within a few mins

On my first trip to the Grand Canyon in the 80s, I decided that, even with a half decent 35mm SLR, I wouldn’t get the quality of photo that could do justice to the vista. I didn’t take a single photo, but bought a large book of professional photos. Still got it, and after a further two visits to the Canyon, quite regularly flick through it.

Same here when i was in a "goldfish bowl" helicopter, upfront with the pilot, around the Rockies. I snapped and snapped and nothing matched the visuals.

This starts as a "Random Irritation" but transcends into "Things that gladden the Heart".
Went up to a nearby Tesco Extra a few hours ago. Parked in a carpark opposite then crossed the road (just two car widths in a precinct) on foot. Nothing to be seen either way. Halfway across a car has swung in and driver is mouthing the "F" word at me and gesturing.
I stop and look back and he pulls up. I wander over, he winds window down and I say "Sorry, did you want to speak to me?"
He says " You alright mate, you're walking a bit slow"
"I'm fine, thank you for asking."
"Yeah, but you're walking slow".
"Well it's a lovely night, isn't it?"
"You're a f.... ars..... is what you are!" and bombs off.
I'm thinking 1-0 to me
Then, in the shop, I think "What if he's parked up and waiting for me?"
Then I think " You've watched 3 series of Reacher and all of Cobrai Kai. What's 40 years difference!"

Then my putt out I got sent to coop.matt here fine but they can't find the devil ball
Just rotten luck
