The grumpy thread

Yes, accurate ages. But she's always been nuts, I think a lot of current stuff is she's bored and trying to get attention, and doesn't realise if she keeps saying "He's violent" at some point he's going to be taken away.

I've had a rant at a Dr's receptionist. They cancelled a home visit to my wife as too busy. I took her to A +E and she passed on within a fortnight.

I get what's going on, from both sides. But I do have some sympathy for mad Jean.

If she was always slightly deranged this is bound to push her over the edge.

It's a rant, but a good one on some points.

Traffic calming has recently been installed on the main road through the villiage. A handful of those chicane things. Carnage tonight when a tractor, taking a new line to avoid the new hazard, smashed a man hole cover that no-one normally ever hits, followed almost immediately by a car driving into the low winter sun, hit the new calming obstruction and lost a wheel. Sadly, although they've built the obstructions, they haven't put any warning signs up yet.

Did you spend much time arguing?

Booked a blood test last week specifically to check my cholesterol level. Nurse took 2 phials of blood

Phoned the doctor to get the result this afternoon to be told they don't test for cholesterol level if the patient is on statins. So how am I meant to know if I need to increase my dosage? At least my fasting glucose level is OK although I didn't ask for it to be checked.

I have to go for blood tests on Monday, I'll ask if they do - if I remember of course.

Strange, I get a suite of blood tests done every year including cholesterol, and it gets done even though I'm on statins. How else can you prove they're working?

That's very nearly an armful!

Someone's run in the back corner of my car whilst parked. Bumper and back panel out of alignment and a small ripple in the panel. So not like the sort of impact you wouldn't notice. 

Whoever it was I hope your genitals turn black and fall off. And your partner runs off with the milk man.
