sixoh8sixoh Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Morning all. dry and fairly bright here. Back down to the old job for a day's handover and my leaving lunch. Back in the comfort zone for one day only. Last night I collected my box of free books to distribute on World Book Night next Monday. Have a good hump day everyone!

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted April 18, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 18, 2012 Morning all. It isn't raining. Bin bags out, dog chased round garden to collect sample of his urine. I am probably going shopping with Matthew today. He needs to do some shopping for his geography field trip to New York. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hello all, No drought, no rain, lots of sunlight but coolish at 23C. Fairly strong wind Robbie sounds back to normal. I hope Lukey is OK. How is Henry doing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Morning All, It is a rather dreary morning here and somewhat chilly. Most of the day will be spent in meetings... Have a good day everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Really wet and dreary down here, so ballasting will be the order of the day. Thanks for all your best wishes for Lukey. He's still quite bright so we're hoping the surgery tomorrow will go well. We're both prepared for the worst, but hoping for the best. Funny how you get attached to these poor fella's. We have no idea what the bill will be, but like others we have an excess of £115 and have to pay 20% of the final amount. There's no doubt about it now, having pets is not only an emotional investment but quite a significant financial one. I do wish people took that on board before taking on a new addition to the family. With two dogs and three cats, I shudder to think how much my dear lady has spent over the years on our four legged family. Probably still less that I've spent on my railway, so perhaps I won't go down that route..... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 No - only a bit about the place George Harrison bought locally (mainly because it is local). The gardens used to be opened around about a century ago, and possibly into the 1930s, and include all sorts of things such as foreign gardens and even a scale model of the Matterhorn. I have an old guide book and it must once have been fabulous and as a small child I had a look at some of it - albeit by then quite decrepit - before it was sold to the nuns in the early 1950s. A lot of it down near the gates was restored once George Harrison took over but i don't know if any of the themed gardens were restored - he certainly had the money to do it and it would have struck me as the sort of thing which would appeal to him - especially if he was, as you say, a keen gardener. As I understand it Mike, George's brother had a hand in keeping Friar Park's gardens up to scratch, I'm sure I read about him working full time for George in one of the many Beatles related books I've got buried in the wardrobe somewhere. Grey and dreary here this morning, strangely everything in the garden has that darkish hue of early 1980s Kodak prints...! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted April 18, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 18, 2012 Morning All Cold and damp here (again). I was interested to hear about Debs' ex-colleague - sounds an interesting man - funny how those with the best (true) stories to tell often have them regarded by their peers as being the best (tall) stories. Still getting over this bug - of course when you have a bug, the rest of your recovery seems to slow right down - however.....

trisonic Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Very true that, Stewart. Often Doctors will only talk about the "main thing" forgetting that we still get all sorts of ailments when sick/injured. I was carrying someone down a Welsh hillside when I slipped on some scree/mud mix. My leg ended up my back. I was lucky as the Doctors said it was the worst soft tissue damage they'd seen. It took me an age to get over (and my ankle is still enlarged 35 years later) because I also went down with other things being so weak. 20 years after it I got cancer in the same foot - I don't think it was coincidence. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted April 18, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 18, 2012 My (recently retired) GP was superb, he always saw the "whole patient" not just the specific ailment. Having more than one problem even in the same organ seems to confuse some doctors! Tony 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewC Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm on my 3rd UK GP. The first 2 were complete crap and I wouldn't trust them to treat a minor scratch never mind my general health. The first one I saw once and only once. She spent the whole 5 minute appointment behind her keyboard and screen. I think she just typed my symptoms into NHS direct. Never looked at my swollen and very purple foot, just said "gout" and then proceded to send me to the hospital with an Xray request for the wrong foot and some blood work. Her surgery managed to lose both sets of results after a 3 week wait. I think I'll stop there before this becomes a major rant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted April 18, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm singularly lucky as my GP (and all the partners) is in a practice which does care about patients as individuals, rather than as numbers or collections of symptoms. I have to say, though, that the surgeons that I have been under are interested only in the part which they've done, and not in the entire recovery process. They seem to think that once their bit of the mechanics is mended, that's it, and you're fit for anything. I've had both bad and good GPs in my time, and am pretty sure that one missed the fact that I was diabetic for over a year - I was complaining about a condition, and that was what was treated, without any reference to the possible underlying cause.

RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted April 18, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 18, 2012 Funny you should say that Stewart, MrsB had a bone graft in her finger with bone from her hip the surgeon was only interested in her finger. He never asked about her hip until she mentioned it was still painfull 6 months later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 18, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 18, 2012 Afternoon all, Late on parade due to modelling interfering with RMweb'ing and then when i did get a chance to have a look on the 'puter Henry was very firmly settled in the chair and as he'd been having a bad (i.e. lots of very noisy miaowing) morning I didn't have the heart to shift him. Weather here is very mixed - that is occasional dry-ish spells mixed with prolonged heavy showers - and I was hoping to pop down to the model shop for some paint as my Humbrol stock has not aged well and I'm having the trials of my life trying to get to grips with this acrylic stuff and the paint shortage has arrived at just the wrong moment on the module critical path. But at least I know where the hot glue gun and refills are hiding and some 40+ year old Code 100 flexitrack seems to have come up quite nicely, so far.

shortliner Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hey, Pete - I saw the Enterprise piggy-back on the News last night - wher will it end up? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Jack, I'm sorry but like Mick you've been fooled by the BBC or ITV. Enterprise will be arriving on Monday 23rd April at JFK by piggy-back. See Press Release:http://www.intrepidmuseum.org/shuttle/ Then it will end up at the "Intrepid" museum on the Hudson (where one of the Concords is) but it will take several weeks to get there.....by barge (kind of apt really) Best, Pete.
