Agreed and he said the same - "she had a great par on 9 but with her 3rd tee shot it was actually an 8" :ROFLMAO: Never been ob there so decided to do it twice!!

Brings back some happy memories for me, way back in the mid 80s.
Our works club champions day final, played at St Andrews old course.
Basically a scratch head to head between me then a 9h/c and my work mate.
I'm 5 strokes down standing on the 11th tee, but really not being playing that bad.
He tees first and goes in the front left bunker, takes 9 , I sink a long putt for a 2 so I'm 2 strokes up :love:
He brings it back to all square by the 16th, I had a lucky par on 17.
Then to cap it all, my chip from the Valley of Sin to 4 inches @ the 18th, with a dozen or so Chinese spectators/ tourists watching and screaming he a pro aso asol. :ROFLMAO: when I sank the par putt :love:

Red tape.

At 10:30 the midwife came to do tests on the twins to send them home at 11 but then said sorry we missed this bit we need s Dr and their aren't any until tomorrow

Then a Dr comes and he said it's fine

Now at midnight one hour later the midwife's are saying it's too late for the twins to go home (like they know what time it is)

Hold on your position wasn't high enough to sign off what a Dr had to sign off an hour ago but now it's high enough to overrule a drs decision

tomorrows another day and you'll have plenty of good days, the bad days make them better

Time, your time, has no meaning in the NHS. It is one of the great frustrations of the organisation.

Congratulations by the way ?

Thanks ?

The wife gave the midwife some words

She claimed the Dr said she couldn't go and stuff so my wife just looked her in eye and goes well he told me that he was happy and his boss was too. Also you just put my babies notes in her sisters file.

Apparently a Dr was there and the midwife left and the Dr went "and some people just need to be spoken to like that. Well done'
 
The NHS for all it's positives seems to think it's fine to hold you prisoner..

My wife was ready to be discharged at midnight

They promised first thing this morning

Then at 10 it was 1 hour max.

She has been signed off by the Dr
Got all the test results ...
Got her meds...

Still waiting at 11:30

Almost up to 12 hours now..

Considering the need for beds and her taking up an entire room you would think they would make it a priority to get her out

Quick edit at 11:45 they brought the next lady and baby up for the room as they were told my wife was discharged

Zero communication

Been there and done it.

Biting insects. Beggars got me on my face on Thursday and now on my arm today. I obviously missed a bit on my arm with my smidge. I never put insect repellent on my face so not much I could do there. HID has also been bitten on his face today.

Things don’t change, 19 years ago my eldest was born by Caesarian after an 18 hour Labour, he had to go in an incubator under sun lamps because he was jaundice. Somehow the nurse bungled it and next morning his jaundice was far worse. The wife done her nut at the Nurses. Later I had a read of her notes and it said “Mother very emotional” ?

Congratulations and all the best btw?

When my son was born they sent us home at 3am. After 3 days I was really hoping they would've kept them in.

I had the opposite of this, "dad's eager to go home."

A friend of my wife suffered in the vaginal mesh scandal. Before the numbers became fully apparent her consultant and the hospital were constantly denying there was an issue, claimed she had a low pain threshold, suggested she was making it up. At one meeting she took particular umbrage at this approach, she was in constant pain and will be on drugs for the rest of her life to manage it, and gave them all barrels. The consultant, a woman, turned to her husband and asked 'is she always that emotional ' ??. They were so shocked by the comment that they just sat speechless. They are still angry to this day about that sentence, can't say I blame them.
 
Use of the phrase "U-Turn". Whenever a decision by the Government is changed, it is immediately decried as a U-Turn irrespective of whether it is good or bad. And yet if they didn't do anything, they would be accused of ignoring facts, complacency etc.

And yes certain members of the tabloid press might just be guilty of fanning the flames on this one.

The issue is that this government has shown time and time again that they ignore the experts and the U-turn is generally avoidable if they’d do the right thing in the first place - see going into lockdown, face masks, A-level results...
 
Looks like some Windows 10 update to my wife’s laptop has resulted in it not being able to detect a second monitor. Thought it might just be my monitor that was the issue - but tried her own this morning and that’s not being detected either. Really, really irritating and struggling to work out how to sort it.
