Chosen for his "Peter Kay" guy next door honest to goodness dependability?
What's wrong with him??
Children receiving lessons in "mindfulness"
Dear God we're putting it into their heads that if they don't practice "mindfulness" they'll end up with mental health issues.
We are raising a army of softies, ill equipped to face the real world when they leave namby-pamby school

A letter has been sent out by Gateshead Council - at our expense telling everyone how to stay safe from COVID
What a waste of money - I read it -tells me nothing new
Mind you Gateshead got on telly, 6pm news as a COVID hotspot so at least they've achieved something the ruddy "Angel of the North" couldn't

Forgive me Sainty considering the current situation but 
We had a letter too last week from Sandwell council. Just as useless

Aww Renton ....I agree with the sentiment ....but that really made me laugh
Gateshead at it again
Cos the North is in semi-lockdown there was a report on the 6 o clock news yesterday
"I'm in Gateshead looking over into Newcastle"
Is Gateshead Council paying someone to get their name on the telly?
Let me tell you there is nothing in Gateshead - just a nice view of Newcastle where there 'is' something.
Gateshead is a sh*thole
David Attenborough this time
Dear David - please stop telling me the world is in crisis and how many mammals we've drove to the brink of extinction.
We know - you've told us for years - It's upsetting
Please do something about it

Dear David - shut up telling me the world is in crisis and how many mammals we've drove to the brink of extinction.
We know - you've told us for years - It's upsetting
Just o something about it
I prefer him telling me that Chris Packham though ...
Gateshead featured again on ITV news at 10
Something's afoot

It's probably me then! Peter Kay is annoying as well. Although I do like his Car Share thing.
Oh and that hipster Top Cashback bloke in the green blazer saying "top" every other word.

Tbh i've never seen that advert
Peter Kay's "Amarillo" song really annoyed me - so i can see the "dependable chubby guy next door who'll lay yer carpet with his mate Steve" could be annoying

GP practice called unexpectedly,
"We need your Mum's weight - it's very important due to the meds she's on"
Me: "We don't have any scales, sorry"
"Can you go out and buy some?" 
Me: "Erm no - we're isolating"
"Can you borrow some from a neighbour?"
Me: "No - we're isolating"
Me (again): "Could the District Nurse perhaps lend us some and wait outside - we can return them in 5mins"
GP : "Oh no we couldn't possibly do that"
They never called back

What plonkers Renton ....surely if it was that important they could have lent you some !
Same GP practice today
New private prescriptions from my chosen pharmacy are now on line ... this is also the preferred method for repeat prescriptions by my GP practice.
Guess what? My GP practice will not forward a private prescription to an online pharmacy.
"It's not allowed"
Why - you use on line? "We're not allowed"
How not - my on line pharmacy accepts private prescriptions so it's legal .... they had no real reason.
Just utterly unco-operative and set up to aid their own system - not to meet the individual needs of the patient
CineWorld lost £1billion of revenue in 6 months
So it makes £2billion a year
How can it not cope with Covid?
After 6months they are to close - what are they doing with all that money??

https://www.itv.com/news/tyne-...after-student-deaths
Students are saying the University has a duty of care to provide test kits to make sure the drugs they want to take are 'ok'
Of course the student seem not need to apply the same 'duty of care' towards themselves by not taking drugs in the first place. Idiots
I got 4 numbers on the EuroLottery and won £7.20

Have i mentioned this one . . . .
Chatting to a porter in our local hospital about his job, he said
"There isn't a person employed in this hospital that isn't related to each other"
Hmmmmm
@Saint posted:True - exactly what he said.
I asked him if they were recruiting - this was when my Mum first went into hospital - I got to know the staff quite well as I was in every day for 3 months
Awww ......I remember when your mum was in hospital Renton ....who ever would have thought then that we’d be where we are today
