Random Irritations

good luck finding another. dentistry in this country is a joke at the minute

No dentist within 15 miles of Cambridge accepting new nhs patients and only one or two offering a waiting list.

They are going private because “of a chronic lack of investment in nhs dentistry by successive governments “ and they are inviting all nhs patients to go private

..plus what dentists get reimbursed for treatments for NHS patients is relative peanuts and doesn't go anywhere near what is a realistic cost of private treatment - in fact NHS reimbursement barely covers costs. Got this from a dentist explaining costs to me.

I was commuting from Bristol to Surrey at the time...we hadn't yet moved though my job had moved to Farnborough. I had a late morning start so left Bristol later than normal. I can recall very clearly driving along the M4 listening to the news come in with tears rolling down my cheeks...I had to slow right down. I knew Dunblane quite well having driving through it many times when heading up north from Glasgow, and most impacting - our children were 1 and 4 at the time.

ETA - just taken the opportunity to read a little about what happened to reflect - and yes - the memory still causes tears - I had no idea that it would - but it has.

It shook me. We’ve lit a candle every year for 30 years and will continue to do so.

You get more than one hit if someone has a weapon. One hit back might not be enough to stop him. If a person is that unhinged they've attacked you with a weapon, how can you be sure they'll not try again unless they're out cold? It'll be a great court case though.

I've got zero time for Barton and have said he should've been jailed for longer in the past for some of his antics but this incident is curious.

It looks like the so called victim started the trouble, went back to his car to get tooled up, tried to attack Barton and then got battered. He's then grassed everyone up which isn't a good look, especially in Liverpool....

Yes .

As you say “ you need to stop him getting up.”

I’m no fan of Barton but he’s being found “guilty “here by the press because of past behaviour.

The other guy had the weapon what’s he supposed to do.
Maybe he went over the top but most people who carry weapons deserve what they get imo.
Would we feel the same if it was Barton in hospital?

I know Huyton & Prescot GC has cctv in the car park so shouldn’t to to hard to see what’s gone on.

Just a note the press caused mayhem in the local area for several days blocking the road that the course is on and affecting the motorway M58 traffic
