Itās like we are actually there anyway. Thereās 2 parties going. Weāve had Whitney Houston and now Mariah Carey. My parents are visiting with their dogs. We were worried about them barking. Not anymore. Music to cover it.

Network printer not working for about 3 weeks. Uninstallā¦reinstallā¦find Google fixā¦nothing. Then decide to use the Epson Install Wizardā¦which throws up a faultā¦all the inks are dry. Itās spotted my after-market cheap refills and wants me to buy their super-expensive inks.
Fuck offā¦reload with new set of cheap inks and it all starts working again.

I feel your pain
My GP surgery has a two week waiting period, I shit you not.
They do have a few āemergency appointmentsā every day but you have to get past a non-medically trained receptionist first.

Where i live itās perfectly fine. In fact itās great. Get an appt no problem. My dad lives in Berkshireā¦ ā¦you have to ring at 8.30am and then try and make an appt for the day. Most of the time the appt are gone and youāre told to ring back tomorrow. You canāt book an appt in advance. You can ring randomly and see if thereās any cancellations. Youāre not allowed to go there in the morning to make an appt. They have signs in the surgery telling patients to mange appt using the MyGP appā¦which I have downloaded and it says āyour surgery hasnāt released any appointmentsāā¦ so why tell people to download it. Itās completely bonkers.

Mumās in the same boat in Gosport. Fat one.
She gets told to go to local hospital instead of bothering the doctors locally. When she arrives for the appointment at her local hospital she is asked why she bothered them and didnāt see a GP.
Britainās broken.

Iāve so far not had to get a GP appointment but when i signed up and had my check up with the nurse it didnāt bode well. I also ask for info from the same surgery at work and donāt think Iāve ever had a response. Too many people for one GP. I did go into another GP surgery recently to drop off a letter asking for info. The place was empty. There were 3 receptionists. I never got a response.
As you are based in central London there is an NHS online āGP At Handā service you can sign up to (part of it is run by Babylon - a major private GP provider and actually very good - Iāve set up private GP arrangements with clients using them).
I get the youngsters at work who live centrally to sign up. You can get an online appt easily and if you need to see someone f2f it is pretty quick. And it gets the malingering buggers back to work pdq.
The only issue is that you lose your local GP but if you can never get an appointment then itās no great loss is it?
Iām not normally a fan of outsourcing NHS provision but this actually helps you get seen when you need to be seen.
Wasnāt he a dustman?

I donāt think he was anything as useful as that. Definitely a GP.
Or at least takes some appointments.
We could have a thread where a poster puts up their ailments, the rest of us have a go a diagnosing it and prescribing a remedy, and @Sussexsaint can mark us out of ten on ingenuity and likely chance of curing it

That would be a short thread.
Each post will start either
It is 8am my head hurts
Or
It is 8am my hands are shaking and I have cold sweats
For both
Bloody Mary & Black coffee to be taken immediately.
Repeat as necessary until 11:00 when proper Alcohol can be consumed.

Iāve got an appointment! I rang exactly on 8am, got through and the receptionist says you can have an appt at 12minutes past 4. I was slightly surprised at the preciseness of this time and repeated it back to her which seemed to annoy her before saying āthatās fine, Iāll take itā. As she starts booking it she says āOh, someone else has just booked thatā¦not sure why thats happenedā. Now what sort of system is it that they have? I can only assume someone booked it online although whenever Iāve looked it says that the surgery havenāt released any appt for online bookings. Anyway, I thought that would be that but she found a spare slot at 10.30am, so weāre in! Iāve already diagnosed my dadās issue as a hernia which he has poo-pooed. We shall see who is right and then I shall demand an apology from him.
