it's good of her to still go down, even though she's not feeling well.

France have the right idea - the vast majority of supermarket filling stations are pay at pump only, with no kiosk, shop, nowt! Just get your fuel and fuck off!

Psyching yourself up to go for a late night trip to the gym, clearing the car of snow, only to get inside the gym and be told by the only member of staff that I have ever seen that the gym was closing because the CCTV wasn't working. Absolutely fizzing right now.

It's the whole cancellation thing and double standards.
I know the BBC have different rules but when you see Clarkson getting "cancelled" for saying things then it really needs to be consistent (regardless of which side of politics they are on).
Personally, I don't think either of them are "cancel-worthy".

Clarkson got sacked for twatting someone didn't he? Hardly fucking cancelled either.

He had a regular series of 'chats' with his bosses about things he'd said before that, too.
Lineker's at the chat stage, isn't he.

No, I mean his Game of Thrones reference.

He still has his newspaper columns, Who Wants to be a Millionaire is carrying on with him, and Clarkson's Farm is continuing too and has a series after this. Meanwhile, the Grand Tour carries on until 2024-2025.
I wouldn't call that being overly cancelled!
And it seems you can blame the Americans for not watching him, for Amazon Prime getting rid!
Jeremy Clarkson's 'axe' from Amazon 'not linked to Meghan Markle controversy'
It was previously reported that the presenter won't appear on any new Prime Video shows beyond 2024.

We should also possibly note that Clarkson, as a very excellent journalist and TV personality, knows how to make a furore at a time when he wants or needs a new contract somewhere. It suits him to be newsworthy and at the centre of a controversy, as much as anybody - it's how he keeps himself marketable.

No it wasn’t. I assume everyone now supports Clarksons freedom of speech?

Thought nick was comparing the beebs treatment of two people in a similar position. Turned out to not be the case.
Clarkson is a c**t for writing what he wrote. Not because he had a platform in the first place

The NHS again, had a referral to the hospital. Finally got in after 7 months after they cancelled 4 previous appointments.
Day off work to go to it.
Go in, he asks all the same questions as the gp then says "ok we will refer you for tests, you will get an appointment in the post"
When asking what the point was "we don't really trust gp's".
Waste of fucking time. I had no need to actually be there, he could have rang me to ask me the questions and taken 3 minutes.

Then you'd be complaining about only having a telephone appointment

If it was just to ask me a couple of questions I wouldn't. Wouldn't have to pay stupid car parking charges then either.
Probably going to be easier to just save up and pay private. Would probably be tested and get the results within a week.

His words "we like to check ourselves because the GP's will usually just put the answers down and send people over". Then asked exactly the same thing.
7... Fucking.... Months. Now will have to wait for another letter with an appointment, then that will probably keep getting changed.
Few hundred quid I can have a test here the next working day.

The only thing I can say (and I don't know what you're there for) but they do the same for my Mum - the consultant admitted last time in her particular case it was as much that they can see her as well as get the answers. One time he asked the questions and was clearly not listening particularly, but was already sorting out the referral to the ward because he was concerned with how she was sitting in the chair. Another time he refused to sign off an operation because she turned up in a wheelchair and so was obviously too weak because of that - her answers were the same she'd have given if she answered from home.
Everything's different of course and I'm by no means against a phone call. I love the way my doctor works now - rings people first, decides if they need to come in or not based on that, means if you have something properly wrong with you you're far more likely to be actually seen than in the days when it was get an appointment in a week, or sit in the waiting room from 8am and hope, because he's already filtered out the needy ones!

Oh he was paying no attention. I'm not sure its as serious as needing a ward yet but I get why they might do that for certain things.
It just seems like a total waste of everybody's time, they posted me about 10 letters overall rearranging appointments. Why not email? It's free.
That's just me for one appointment, I dread to think how much is wasted on printing and posting.

I don’t mind the idea of a phone consultation. Even a video consultation. When I think I’ve broken my foot and he asks me to video myself walking I’m not sure on the validity.

Got to say really impressed here under Oxfordshire NHS. From econsult to surgery through x-ray, hospital consultation, new hip and discharge was a total of 12 weeks.
