KnightswoodBear Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) More "Things that absolutely boil your piss" than PTTGOYN: Do G.P surgeries actually do anything anymore? A month or so ago, I got a pretty bad eye infection. Filled in the online consultation form, attached photos and sent it off to the surgery, only to be called a few hours later to be told by one of the harridans that work there that they don't deal with eye problems and I need to go to the optician. Filled one in today for my son who has something going on on his tongue, white marks and ulcers down one side, only to be told that he needs to see the dentist. This is despite the doctor prescribing cream for the same thing about a year ago. It was hard enough seeing a doctor pre-COVID but now they just seem have decided to palm every c**t off onto someone else. edit to add: I actually like the online forms that you fill in now, as you generally get an answer from them pretty quickly, but when the answer is invariably "f**k off and bother someone else" it sort of takes the shine off it.

At the very least, a basic understanding of hand signals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Eggs - inconsistent wee b*****ds so they are. Cracking one open on the side of the pan it's "tap tap tap TAP TAP - smash" with one then "tap SMASH" with the next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's beyond a joke now. At our surgery, if you're one of the very lucky few to actually get an appointment access is on a one in, one out basis. The receptionist is behind a screen wearing a mask and you have to sanitise your hands and mask up too on entering. This all becomes a bit of a sham half an hour later when you're standing next to her, both mask free, in the shop about 50 yards down the street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate biting my nails so end up trying to file it on anything remotely abrasive like my trousers. The thing has an amazing ability to catch on anything.

Derry Alli Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I've basically done nothing today at work. I've now, half an hour before I finish been sent a 'course' that will take two hours to complete so I can attend a job tomorrow. Failure to so will result in me having to go to a fucking terrible job I've been avoiding (in Elgin). I'll get paid for the time doing the 'course' but I've literally had a free day all day and not once did office think of sending this to me to do in the van. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day you opened a tin of beans from both ends and used a can opener on both sides of a can of beer. Thus no beans were left uneaten and no beer had to froth up in the glass as it was allowed to pour with the appropriate amount of air. Plus you paid about 25p for 20 Embassy Regal. Not sure if you're taking the piss here, but no-one has ever had to open a can of beans, or anything else, from both ends. And 5/-. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum used to do that so she could flatten the empty tin - it took up less space in the bin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
