My annual army pension letter arrived, I got a 2.4% increase this year

Well done. My very tiny French state pension went up about 7 or 8 pence a month. Bloody CIPAV.

There’s a WhatsApp group for many of us in the NHS to gossip on.  One post this morning copied verbatim (with name deletions): “(deleted) has invited me to a meeting without coffee first thing this morning. I didn’t know she had given up coffee, she always has one”

I really don’t have the heart to tell him that he may be having a less pleasant meeting than he expects!

Сегодняшняя встреча была очень удручающей, где водка

Dagens møde var meget deprimerende, hvor er vodka

اجتماع اليوم كان محبطا للغاية ، حيث هو الفودكا

Hvad handlede mødet om?

My car has just passed its MOT.  That's always a worry for an ageing car!  No defects or advisories

Service done as well.

I wanted to add this yesterday but I thought better of it.  It's been one of those days though.

I see the hostile environment has got rid of at least one Furner.

A rugby league forum and no-one comments on that.  I despair.  You're all obviously too young to get absolutely awful jokes.

I treated it with the respect it deserved.

It’s not funny if you have to explain it

I had hoped some people on AOB would read the rugby forums...

I tried to ease the burden of living on soley Universal credit, by making enquiries about withdrawing my NHS pension, as there is no chance of me ever working for them again, due to the resons for my dismissal. NHS Pensions were absolutely lovely. Pointed me in the right direction, and sent me forms etc., but when I mentioned it to Job Centre I got told that for every pound the NHSP pays me, I will have my Benefit reduced by one pound, so I will be no better off, so I am leaving NHSP where it is until I am 65, only 9 years wait.

Physioterrorists are failed dentists, they harness the bitterness to inflict greater pain

Not got as far as physios yet... This was just the excercise team!

When the wife was in hospital in 2016, she was really weak and struggling to even sit but the physios wanted her out of bed. To encourage her, one said “we can get you a comfy chair”. I started sniggering and the wife said “not the comfy chair!”  More sniggering. They were all too young to understand the context and probably thought I was being mean to my wife in sniggering away. 

I did suggest a nice cushion and a cup of tea. 

Youngsters these days.

The above description reflects, perfectly, the physio ‘helping’ me with my rehab.

Any of you at Wigan St Judes last week?

As this is dear diary, tonight I shall be at the last ever ( and sold out) gig of The Legendary Night Owls at Louth Jazz Club.

Do people still keep diaries, has anyone ever started a diary and kept going longer than a week ?.

Me and my partner of 29 years wanted to do something crazy for our 50th birthdays this month, so we got married?

 

I was all for a hot air balloon ride

The coffee shop just along from work has had to remove its tip jar as it’s been stolen too often and the staff have been threatened by #### for not having enough money in it for them to “bother stealing”.

I was asked to attend a GP training event today just in case people wanted to ask questions about all the changes we’re doing in the region.  Two and a half hours of sitting through a presentation on genital health and STDs later I got told “did no-one mention your bit wouldn’t start until after 4?”  The 2nd worst part was the presenter showing pictures of all sorts of lumpy and fusty genitals and saying “right, what would you diagnose with this one then?”  The worst part was that they had cream cakes on the side for the tea break before the non-clinical stuff.
