The commentator on the Tour de France - stop saying how fecking AMAZING the crowds are, how AMAZING Yorkshire is, how great Britain is at supporting sporting events, how impressive Yorkshire is and how AMAZING the fecking bluddy crowds are!! Seriously. If you've got nowt else to say - shut up!


ETA - later -


Having said that - a few minutes ago waxing lyrical on the scenery "...the bridge over the River Wensleydale..." what a sequel that would have made...

In the last few years I've really come to respect Vanessa Feltz. She's highly intelligent and articulate, and her radio show on BBC London is an impressively high standard. She's also funny, able to laugh at herself and gets a lot out of life. I think a lot of the criticism tends to be driven by covert sexism. Roll on the day when a woman isn't automatically put down for being overweight and over 40, or for (heaven forbid) speaking her mind.

    • They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.   
    • I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills. 
    • GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).
