Beloved Pet died. I Bought Plants to bury it in garden. Cleared ground, Weeded, dug hole, moved stones and dirt, put plant food in bottom, planted plants, replaced earth. patted down earth. Turned round. I'd forgot to bury the bloody pet who was still on the path in the paperbag.
Just seeing all the HooHaa over there about a National Health System. Just want to say that the UK NHS system was one of the best in the World with service to all irrespective of wealth, background or ability to pay. Had hight standards and dedicated nurses and doctors. Delivering basic healthcare and would not be cut off if run out of money and would not be turfing anyone out int he street or pulling the switch because you were too old or in the way.
It has been destroyed because of most good ideas it was taken over by idiots with degrees and polticians and "consultants" who have no idea.
At beginning a Dr could just ring up and refer a patient to a chiropractitioner, back specialist, physio etc etc and get an appointment. Then the bigwigs decided this was too easy and now put several levels inbetween where the doctor has to apply to x admin department, and financial management department, and logistics and a full team with several form inbetween. This makes the care more complicated and more expensive as each layer of admin has to be paid for 80% of NHS money goes to admin.
Also there are PC preferred areas of care and "trendy" areas. Therefore you will get 5-dozen projects for drugs and drink problems in one town all doubling up on what they are doing. Meanwhile the Baby care unit, Emergency Unit and Day Care for Elderly Dementia would be closed down.
Also as we are part of EU and taking in immigrants they are all entitled to NHS care and input even if they have not paid into it. I do not begrudge anyone care but we hae mass migration coming into Britain to take advantage of free care system. A lot are taking the piss out the system. Then the govt turns round and tells those who have paid for it all their lives and indigenous population that they are the ones who will have to lose out.
It was and is a wonderful idea of care and medical intervention for all at point of need. It had hight standards and was known as the best system in the world and British nurses the best and most professional.
The mess is because of managerial and political interference and an army of paid idiot consultants who forget what the NHS is there for - "CARE OF THE PATIENT."
It is not free as you pay for it the same as a private Insurance system. You are just guaranteed you and your families care even if the Insurance Company goes bust and losses all your premiums on the Stock Market. It is not a gamble. It is a contract between Govt and people.
Proud of our NHS and so is everyone else. Just has its problems with idiots and politcians and policy makers. It would be good if it went back to "Care at Point of Need." Don't think we should pay for stupid extras such as Reiki, Homeostasis merchants and color therapists when we need "MORE BLOOD FOR CUBICLE 9" and "AN INTRAVENOUS DRIP FOR PATIENT IN ROOM 5"
Looking pretty ugly and angry over there. Have worked in private and yes my severe Head Injury clients are "cut off" the minute their money runs out, and the private solicitors and professionals will take your house off you, evict your family and put you in a State Care Home without a blink of an eye. Will also keep you a patient and even keep you ill if it keeps you on its books.
I have sat in a meeting with 6 professioals each on $100s per hour for them to discuss removing $100per week from patients state benefits an it going to them. All these people are being paid their money out of the patient's award. Soon goes. Also plan to remove children from family. Not for concern for children but so they get the money as guardians.
Know which side I am on.
Just thought I'd let you know we are proud of our NHS. Lot of screaming and shouting over there about basic care for all. Wish everyone would be on the streets when it came to child abuse. Also the NHS etc was brought in after the war when the country was struggling. But it was there to stop people slipping back to the dreadful state of health and welbeing and poverty in the depression between the wars. My gramps where in that and many lost their children every year to things that are now nearly extinct.
Thanx for the wink. Am afraid this is the only way to meet and talk as both non members of BK's ripoff site.
Also their super new website does not say which part of UK we are in. Think of it as a small US state.
I am down in Hastings, Sussex with the soft southerners but originally from Bolton. (Don't meantion what they did to dear old Sam Aladyce. Shame and a disgrace that. Hope he succeeds at Blackburn) Don't know how to meet and greet you, but can at least meet and talk here.
So you Hairy Cornflake how's yourself and what's happening?
Southerners - Warmer climates. Colder hearts. We may be hardy but at least we are loving up north. But can't go back once you've left. Have changed and moved on.
When's the next peasants revolution? Shall we start one?
A judge in Stuttgart, Germany, is currently trying to decide on a lawsuit in which a man hired his neighbour to impregnate his wife.
It gets weirder.
Demetrius Soupolos, 29, and his former beauty queen wife, Traute, were very keen to have a child together, but Demetrius was sterile so they began to seek out other possible options.
The option the couple eventually decided on was to hire their neighbour Frank Maus, 34, to impregnate Traute.
Maus, who was already married with two children agreed to do the job for the fee of ?2,000. For three evenings a week for the next six months, a total of 72 different times, Maus tried to impregnate Traute.
When his own wife objected, Maus explained that he was "only doing it for the money."
After the unsuccessful six-month period Soupolos insisted that Maus take a medical examination. The doctor concluded that Maus was also sterile, which forced his wife into admitting that their two children did not belong to him.
Soupolos is now suing Maus in an effort to get his money back. Maus' argument is that he did not guarantee conception, only that he would try his hardest.
Stan Brock is one of those little known heros who gives himself everyday for others with little in return.
Remote Area Medicine was set up to give free basic healthcare worldwide such as dental care, eyesite tests and free glasses and cervical semar tests. They also provide free medical services by a moveable care service through America. Helping many now during the recession for free with free services given by the professionals. He has now helped over 200,000 people during the recession.
Stan is "The Man" aged 72. Lives in RAM headquarters. Showers in cold water. sleeps in a sleeping bag and lives on porridge, rice and beans. A hero in his own lifetime. At aged 16 talked his way into being a cowboy in South America steering long horns. Later went to holliwood and became a bit actor and stunt man. Then starred in a wild series where he captured and tagged and looked after wild animals. Footage can be found of him wrestling with lions and ananacondas. Quite a man. Now gives his time raising resources for free medical care.
I think it is a great cause and a great man in this time of woosies and nonenity "celebrities" So find it online and give a little and if a professional think of giving a little of your time.
It is comforting to think such people still exist.

A plucky foot-high Jack Russell terrier named George saved five New Zealand children from two marauding pitbulls, but was so severely mauled in the fight he had to be destroyed, according to his devastated owner. George was playing with the group of children as they returned home from buying sweets at a neighborhood shop in the small North Island town of Manaia last Sunday when the two pitbulls appeared and lunged toward them, his owner Allan Gay said. "George was brave - he took them on and he's not even a foot high," Gay told The Associated Press. "He jumped in on them, he tried to keep them off. "If it wasn't for George, those kids would have copped it."
After my blog of adoration for this month's model "Ecatman" BK has sent me this e-mail. Wanting me to tell the story of our "love." for free memebrship and points.
We could do an imaginary Blog Love Story and send it in at the end both winning free memebrship and extra points. and neither of us need leave our chairs. Me in England Ecat over 3000 miles away.
According to BK Ecat has already fulfilled my dreams and I never felt a bit of it.
Are you up for it Ecat?
BK like an itchy old aunt waiting for a wedding.

Just zoomed in to look up our Model of the Month "Eacatman."
Besides looking cute, great smile and bod. His profile is Sarcastic, irreverant, cynical, disingenuous and a wind up merchant who likes to take the piss.
I'm in love with him already. Wonder what made him put himself up for Model? = other than mischief.
HaHa You've brightened my day. :) Would love to see you with long hair.
Or Jim Carrey on a acid trips? No. It is our Foreign Overseas Minister David Milliband. He is visiting you at the moment. He looks and acts like Mr Bean but twice as thick and with less social graces.
He has just been to India and broken the Guiness Book of Record of insulted and offended the most people in the least possible time.
This really is his image. Considers himself the next Prime Minister in waiting. He's visiting you at he moment. Could you keep him? please.
A hill farmer has a cunning plan to rid his fields of a plague of rabbits. Either that or he has cabin fever and has been sniffing the silage.
Paul Coppen, 69, who owns a hill famr in Durham and supplies London's oldest restaurant with pedigree beef, was struggling to keep an army of rabbits from stripping his pastures bare.
So in an attempt to gain the upper hand, he camouflaged his vintage Massy Ferguson tractor as a cow - complete with a firing platform and a gunslit from which to blast the unwary bunnies.
He admitted the disguise - a black and white heifer painted on a wooden board fixed to the side of the vehicle - was not entirely foolproof.
He said: "One of my neighbours, Stan Mitchell, came up with the idea and helped me out, and I just went with it. I hoped the rabbits would ignore the fake cow, thinking it was just another member of the herd, thereby presenting a stationary target for the rifleman as I drive about the farm.
"A driver-cum-rifleman was cunningly camouflaged behind a picture of a tree above the cow. Maximum angle of fire was achieved by pointing the air-rifle through a horizontal slit above the cow, not unlike the firing positions in Second World War pillboxes.
"It has to be said that not all rabbits are entirely fooled. Whereas cattle obviously do move around, trees usually don't and that may be a problem."
Mr Coppen has farmed at White Close Hill, near Bowes in County Durham, since 1975. Beef from his herd of pedigree Belted Galloways - an ancient breed probably derived from Celtic stock - is supplied to Rules, of Covent Garden, London's oldest restaurant.
"I won't pretend this device is going to be the be all and end all of rabbit control - but it does seem to startle them somewhat and stops them from scampering away too quickly, which give us a chance to have a shot at them.
"Luckily, no cows have been accidentally shot so far and Granite Brain, the stock bull, has not displayed any amorous or belligerent intentions towards the glamorous heifer depicted on the side of the tractor."
Over 500,000 lost their jobs in the USA in November alone.
I know we are all suffering the credit crunch and that ther are more of you over there than here. But still, half a million in one month. YIKES!!!
I do have a Universal love and concern fro everyone. Polticians should be for people and the stability of their nation first.
No end in sight yet, despute the billions. Hope it turns around and hope you are all alright. Would like to know how you are all doing and who is getting caught up with it. Nows the time to reach out and network and work together. Find solutions as a community. Not feeling ashamed or embarrased and isolated in your troubles. Despite differences lest keep praying for each other and caring.
Jill and John got married. John thought this would be a "marriage of the 90's" -- equal roles for equal partners. So, the first morning back from their honeymoon, he brought Jill breakfast in bed. Jill wasn't impressed with his culinary skills, however.
She looked disdainfully at the tray, and snorted, "Poached? I wanted scrambled!"
Undaunted, the next morning, John brought his true love a scrambled egg. Jill wasn't having any of it.
"Do you think I don't like variety? I wanted poached this morning!"
Determined to please Jill, the next morning he thought, "third time's a charm" and brought her two eggs -- one scrambled and one poached. "Here, my love, enjoy!"
Jill looks at the plate and says, "You scrambled the wrong egg."

I thought the usual answer to how do you like your eggs in the morning was Fertilized.
Recently scientists for Health suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption, considering the results of a study showing the presence of female hormones in beer. The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women. To test the findings, 100 men were fed twelve pints of beer each.
It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, could not drive, argued over nothing, refused to apologize when clearly in the wrong and could no longer stand up when taking a pee. Not meantion man boobs.
No further testing is planned.

1.THE wise bride will permit a maximum of two brief sexual experiences weekly ? and as time goes by she should make every effort to reduce this frequency. Feigned illness, sleepiness and headaches are among her best friends in this matter.
2.MOST men are by nature rather perverted, and if given half a chance, would engage in quite a variety of the most revolting practices, including performing the normal act in abnormal positions, mouthing the female body and offering their own vile bodies to be mouthed in turn.
3.A SELFISH and sensual husband can easily take advantage of his wife. One cardinal rule of marriage should never be forgotten: Give little, give seldom and above all give grudgingly. Otherwise what could have been a proper marriage could become an orgy of sexual lust.
4.JUST as she should be ever alert to keep the quantity of sex as low as possible, the wise bride will pay equal attention to limiting the kind and degree of sexual contacts.
5. MANY men obtain a major portion of their sexual satisfaction from the peaceful exhaustion immediately after the act is over. Thus the wife must ensure that there is no peace in this period for him to enjoy. Otherwise he might be encouraged to soon try for more.
6. A WISE wife will make it her goal never to allow her husband to see her unclothed body, and never allow him to display his unclothed body to her. MANY women have found it useful to have thick cotton nightgowns for themselves and pyjamas for their husbands ? they need not be removed during the sex act. Thus, a minimum of flesh is exposed.
7.ONCE in bed, the wife should turn off all the lights and make no sound to guide her husband in her direction, lest he take this as a sign of encouragement.
8.WHEN he finds her, she should lie as still as possible. Bodily motion could be interpreted as sexual excitement by the optimistic husband. Sex, when it cannot be prevented, should be practised only in total darkness.
9. DO not encourage him ? nudity, talking about sex, reading stories about sex, viewing photographs and drawings depicting or suggesting sex are the obnoxious habits the male is likely to acquire if permitted.
10.IF he attempts to kiss her on the lips she should turn her head slightly so that the kiss falls harmlessly on her cheek instead. If he lifts her gown and attempts to kiss her any place else she should quickly pull the gown back in place, spring from the bed, and announce that nature calls her to the toilet.
11. IF the husband attempts to seduce her with lascivious talk, the wise wife will suddenly remember some trivial non-sexual question to ask him.
12. SHE will be absolutely silent while he is huffing and puffing away ? she will lie perfectly still and never under any circumstances grunt or groan while the act is in progress.
13. AS soon as the husband has completed the act, the wise wife will start nagging him about various minor tasks she wishes him to perform on the morrow.
14. CLEVER wives are ever on the alert for new and better methods of denying and discouraging the amorous overtures of the husband.
15.Arguments, nagging, scolding and bickering prove very effective if used in the late evening about an hour before the husband would normally commence his seduction.
15. BY their tenth anniversary many wives have managed to complete their child-bearing and have achieved the ultimate goal of terminating all sexual contacts with the husband. By this time she can depend upon his love for the children and social pressures to hold the husband in the home.

OK who said it wasn't much different today? Did I hear a gruntle in the bikeshed? lol
