Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

I've been at The Clash concert for an hour and the band still hasn't come out.

Should I stay or should I go now?

 

Anyone got thunder yet? I’m waiting for it - love a good thunderstorm ….

 

Thunder and lightning. Very, very frightening.

 

If the Czechs had been playing tonight, that might have been very appropriate

 

we got none at all . Love a good thunderstorm as well .

 

Coming to a billboard near you soon!

 

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that due to the new revelations concerning his views on Matt Hancock the PM himself is now taking direct control of the pandemic crisis to ensure there are no more failings. With the Indian (Delta) covid variant infections increasing at an alarming rate, the PM has stated that every person will now be offered the Pun Jab

A senior advisor to the PM working with a virology team from India at Public Health England said “Please start taking this Indian Covid variant seriously, my neighbour caught it and has been in a Korma for a week and he had only just buried his Naan. Some Chapati I know has it, symptoms include feeling Chilli so if in any doubt Dhal 999.”

 

I samosa we should take care not to get chili.

 

Nothing to be Gheeful about.

 

I don't know how you can joke about it, my Naan got it last week.

 

Thank you for the comments.
One week on from my post and the improvement has continued to the extent that for the first time in 5 weeks my wife isn’t attached to an oxygen supply, has started to eat more and has been hoisted from bed to chair as part of the physio preparation to get her mobile again.
Her fighting spirit is unbelievable, bearing in mind that at the low points her doctors and consultant told me that they wouldn’t intervene if she needed resuscitation or to go to the ICU as they didn’t think her body would cope with the treatment.
Forgive me for being political, but Mrs B is a WASPI woman, unfairly denied her pension at 60, and she has vowed to stay alive until she receives her pension at the age of 66. She still has another 15 months to hang in there, but I’m not going to bet against her.
A massive round of applause for her consultant and his medical team who are miracle workers. I can’t praise them highly enough for their expertise and compassion.
God bless the NHS. We really must do all that we can to protect it from further underfunding so that it is still there for the next generations to benefit from.

 

Excellent news St B! Hoping the recuperation continues well.

 

Fantastic news - send her our best wishes and glad for you all. Can’t echo your sentiments enough - we don’t know what we’ll miss if this lot are allowed to kill the NHS. I’ve worked in other countries where healthcare is privatised. Health professionals are just as good, but medical care is denied to those without the means. My mother worked as a nurse in Australia in the 50s and she used to tell stories of people coming into hospital and staying in the best rooms, getting the best treatment, etc - then, as time went on, they gradually ran out of money (very little medical insurance then) and the treatments became less and less, with inevitable results

 

I`m not fussed about my birthday, especially as I`ve just discovered I share it with Boris Johnson.

 

Edit: Wrong thread.

 

Poor Boris

Ps Happy Birthday
