Obviously not for this situation but it got me thinking moving forward.

Yeh maybe there is nowhere in the North that offers private a and e services similar to the mater say.

I still have faith in the NHS for people that are very sick etc but it's the other services that have faltered badly.

Years of austerity and dismantling, bloated management and ultimately people living longer with more complex medical needs means it ain't changing anytime soon.

Hence looking at some kinda of private cover

 happy holiday season everyone!

In the midst of it all have a child sick, out of hours reply was there is a 2 day list already :○

Does anyone have any experience of private health insurance for a young family? Myself and wife mid 30s and young baby

Have been a bit underwhelmed this year, it would put me off looking about tickets (much as its a lottery to get them) when you don't know the line up!

That being said looking forward to Cat Stevens today!

Also all those F!@#KING FLAGS... sick looking at them + people trying to be funny with them as well. "I'M HERE" etc etc ....seems to get worse every year. I'm surprised the BBC don't have more of a sway as it nearly ruins the broadcast experience

Hope it makes the sound effect as well!!!

Nothing as off putting as a deli or cafe and flies all around the tray bakes sitting out!!

Had heard of lemon scented geranium plants too but I'd imagine the effect would be minimal

Give the farmers a break I say, its the way it is because we want cheap food and the farmers have to do whatever they can in terms of efficiency to protect their livelyhoods. Regenerative models would help matters but the market can't live with the price of it. Wouldn't have a bad word said about farmers, they are the backbone of the country.


Farmers crying poverty reminds me of Mitchell and Webb....

All the inherited wealth too!!

All in there will be a serious problem in this country as alluded to by the guardian report

Anyone else notice in the last ~10 years the massive proliferation in slurry spreading in Ireland!! Some of the rig outs and apparatus seem excessive

Met a fast trak with 6 axel slurry tank up a wee bye road there

Might explain the house fly explosion too ....all the chicken shite and pig shite

 Jack daniels single barrel select was one I got and enjoyed in amazon black Friday sale.

I liked The Irishman small batch and jameson black barrell.

Got Glenmorangie 10yr the original and wasn't that pushed on it so maybe have more the palate for irish whiskey
