You do know Halloween is tomorrow?
I know All Hallows Eve is tomorrowā¦ these feral toffee grabbing upstarts are trying their luck.
Anyhooā¦ sat until 7pm in darkness listening to Jon Hopkins on some headphones so not all bad.
Still, all this trick or treating boolshit needs to stop.
Fucking miserable old cunt.

Sit on your bucket in the hallway, theyāll only knock once.
My kids are concerned that tomorrowās haul could be adversely affected by fears about Brexit.
I have reassured them that any shortfall compared to last year is more likely due to the miserable old cunts in the village being a year closer to the grave.
Iām keeping the spirit of Halloween alive.

I didnāt realise you were a Mercan 
Isnāt that the point of halloween? Socialising with ghosts & spirits is the next stop after the old folks home. They should really be getting more involved rather than less. 
Maybe itās what hell is like when you die. Every day is halloween then.

So called doctors. It is impossible to get an appointment at Barbourne House Surgery, Worcester unless you can inform them 7 days in advance that you plan to be ill. My wife has just rung the appointment line at 8-00 am, when they open, only to be told that they have no appointments to see a doctor today, just as they had no appointments yesterday. I would like to know how the people seeing the doctors today got their appointments, as you cannot make appointments in advance. My wife is asthmatic and seems to have a chest infection, severe head and neck pains and a fever, which means that neither of us has had much sleep in the last 48hrs, the surgery is a disgrace, time to change doctors I think.
Isnāt it supposed to be dead ?

Probably the plan. It might be worth going there and talking to the practice manager about your concerns and plans to leave. Might get you a quick appointment, if nothing else!
Meanwhile dial 111, they should be able to get you an appointment with a GP at a local hospital.
She has an appointment to see a nurse practitioner.
Same at mine, they are all the same now. Mine has an āemergencyā service, which means you call them at 7.00 and get a 7.30 - 08.00 appointment that day. Itās full of kids trying to get the day off or builders with colds.
Our clinic is fine. Narelle never has a problem getting an appointment (and sheās been a few times recently). I book my appointments online.
Happy Halloween
Just bake them some of these:
The thing about GP surgeries is that they are great at dealing with chronic conditions, but much less good at acute ones. So for me, I just book quarterly appointments in advance and order repeat prescriptions, all online, and itās great. I get great service. But they donāt leave enough space for the suddenly sick people.
I think that a system similar to A&E but not quite so serious would make sense - rock up to hospital, and wait in a queue to see a GP or triage nurse. You need a catchment area larger than most GP surgeries to justify the full time doctor, so hospital would probably be the best place for it.
Thereās a subset of cases for which that would work. But thereās another subset who really want an appointment.
Touch wood, Iām hardly ever sick. But my elderly step-dad used to get chest infections. He was well enough to be got up, driven to the surgery, assessed by the doctor who was familiar with his history and treated if necessary and then taken straight back home for a cup of tea and more rest. But he couldnāt have coped with 2-3 hours on a plastic chair in a busy, draughty, crowded waiting room in the company of miserable toddlers with no-one knowing who might see him or when. He was sick, after all.

Well, it would appear that despite having had a flu jabā¦she has flu 
Nothing serious I sincerely hope?..
Not really. A broken bone in her foot and a suspected tennis elbow like injury.
