The school rang my wife yesterday about our 12 yr old son who was saying he didnt feel well and said his chest was sore. Teacher said his heart rate was pretty fast. He hadn't been running about or anything. Long story short he was lifted from school and the wife thought she would call into the GP Surgery in our small town. She said the car park to the surgery was empty (this was around 2pm) and when she went to the reception she could see they waiting room was empty and they told her that there were no free appointments available and to ring this number.

She rang the number and explained what was going on and was told to be at Craigavon for 6pm.
Went up and got a ECG done which showed nothing out of the ordinary and said that it might be best to get a chest xray and sent her over to the A&E department.
My wife said it was crazy, the place was packed with only standing room and she just came home as she would probably be still waiting.

Before COVID you could ring the GP surgery and get an appointment the same day, Why are GP's not back to seeing patients, is everything just been sent to the A&E departments. What are they actually doing?

We are not ones who run every time to the doctors if one of us has have a sniffle and the last time I was we were at a hospital was when our last was born which was 8 years ago.

Surly this can go on like this as staff at the hospitals couldnt work under them conditions.

Sorry for the long post.
 

It just goes to show the insecurity within some sections of the protestant faith when they see the likes of this simple gesture as being a threat to their beliefs.

What harm was it doing.

It has probably been answered on here before – but what was the reasoning that it couldn't go ahead in 3 separate sections?

I doubt if it could be properly answered, there was never any need to do it all in one go. Roads all over the country were improved in sections.

The problem was that the Irish government promised money and then got hit by the crash . The North doesn't have the budget for this project. Things then got held up in the courts. Then Stormont collapsed. You couldn't make it up. And people are still dying

There has been a concentrated effort by one section of the community to make sure this road is never built.

I'm going to say this with the greatest respect "who gives a flying fcuk about them"

Not really surprised about this, sad for the victims families.

At what point does SF/SDLP pull the plug until a border poll is called 

The likes of this carry on by filling stations tells you that fuel prices should be lower

I had to laugh at Allison Morris going on this morning how wee Jeff has stood up as a leader now after his pantomime performance in the common's, we now have had 3 DUP Politian's stand in the HOC blubbering like little babies and this is what we are to believe leadership looks like.

Mine are now 14, 12, 10 & 7 and I wish I was back at the nappy stage.

There's limits on how much businesses can take in cash before they have to refer the amount for money laundering regulations.  The figure depends on the business but for solicitors offices its 1,000 i think its 5k for car sales but might be wrong

The wife got about 2 grand in cash out a while ago to pay a tiler or something and she got quizzed in Santander as to what it was being used for. Surely you can take your own cash out and do what you want with it.

Exactly. f**king disgraceful.

why is it, cash payments are tax avoidance
pay the tiler by cheque or transfer
 

I don't think I have ever written a cheque apart from a few times in work. Do people still have cheque books?

Us farmers still prefer the ole cheque book

Have stopped watching it tbh

Had a few bits and pieces to changes on the car....brake discs & callipers and the price of parts has gone crazy compared to what they were 4 yrs ago.

I never knew that the post office has the powers to bring people to court without even involving the police.

And another thing, Where are the auditors in all this, what is the actual point of them.

Do we know how many people from the north were caught up in this.

LLS was shite and you knew it wasnt filmed live as there more atmosphere at a bloody wake
