    Once in a lifetime gift but unfortunately not for everyone

    When George Burns was about what he attributed his great age to his answer was "In the morning I Wake up and read the obituary column, if I'm not in ot, I get up." Happy birthday!

    OcUK Dadsnet thread

    Last time I went to soft play my 3 year old was blatantly pushed over by an 8 year old as he ran past. I was waiting at the exit to the soft play area so asked him calmly to be more careful, he told me to "**** off". Then his dad came over and told me "don't you ******* dare talk to my kid". So...

    Lost Bitcoins Man is still trying

    Exactly - but he can't and the private key is on the laptop. Remember the use of "wallet words" is relatively recent - before that you had to write down/copy a key like: E9873D79C6D87DC0FB6A5778633389F4453213303DA61F20BD67FC233AA33262 PS - not my private key :-)

    Travel Insurance whilst on NHS waiting list

    Went through the quote process and got "If you are awaiting an initial diagnosis for symptoms you are currently experiencing we are unable to provide cover at all until you have a confirmed diagnosis." So that would be on a waiting list then. This is the issue I hit again and again.

    Private healthcare

    Yeah, it's easy to blame management and I'm sure it is less than great. But it's also interesting to look at funding (ONS data from 2019) compared to other countries: UK: £2989 Norway: £4596 Ireland: £3510 France: £3737 Spain: £2444 Canada: £3647 So it does look as though our funding levels...

    So err, What’s Happened to the Princess of Wales?

    Wouldn't wish that on anyone, but I'm guessing she'll be in the blue zone? I really wish that private medical care was banned. If Rishi and the Royals had to use the NHS, I bet it would be better funded and cared for.

    Masters of the Air 2023

    Just finished Masters of the Air. 6/10 at best Where "Band of Brothers" had subtlety, intensity and balance, Masters of the Air has cliche and predictability. The whole "Red tails" arc was just totally unnecessary. It served no purpose other than to hit some studio set "quota". Some of the...

    What TV shows are you currently watching

    Just finished Masters of the Air. 6/10 Where "Band of Brothers" had subtlety, intensity and balance, Masters of the Air has cliche and predictability. The whole "Red tails" arc was just totally unnecessary. It served no purpose other than to hit some studio set "quota". Ho hum.

    Travel Insurance whilst on NHS waiting list

    My daughter (18) is going to travel round Europe for 4 weeks with friends when she had finished her exams. Since November, she has been on an NHS waiting list to look at her painful periods. As a non urgent referral we've been told to expect a wait of several months. As a result I simply...

    Rugby union?

    Grief I'm glad not to be a Welsh supporter. I'd be screaming at the TV. Italy playing a really smart game.

    ** The Official Space Flight Thread - The Space Station and Beyond **

    LOL nothing - but "grid fin moves = 10/10 excitement" just leaves nowhere to go when they eventually get both stages to land successfully.

    ** The Official Space Flight Thread - The Space Station and Beyond **

    I find the whooping and cheering on the SpaceX feed just so irritating. Grid fin moves - whoop whoop cheer cheer What's wrong with a quiet understated round of applause.

    ** The Official Space Flight Thread - The Space Station and Beyond **

    The last game you completed, and rating.

    The last of us. Really enjoyed it, a few too many QTE but great story telling. 9/10

    Sleep Apnea & Driving license

    I guess it's your decision - but it's not just about falling asleep at the wheel. The sleep foundation cited a study that basically equates 20 hours without sleep has a similar effect as 0.08% blood alcohol (the legal limit in the UK). I imagine that poor quality sleep caused by sleep apnoea...

    Sleep Apnea & Driving license

    I'm pretty certain the DVLA don't categorise a condition as notifiable for fun. How can people here defend driving with a notifiable condition? There is no difference between that and drink driving. You might think you're OK after 3 pints, but.... @SexyGreyFox you must meet loads of people who...

    When are you going fully electric?

    It's almost as though Jame May has a background as a serious journalist :-) I agree, really like him.

    What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

    Last of us on PC. First really consoley game I've played in ages. Initially frustrated by lack of sand box that I'm used to. Then realised how curated each chapter was. It's more like being a main character in a film. Really enjoying it.

    Rugby union?

    Nice try from England, but WHY won't the try scorer touch down nearer the posts. Cost England 2 points there
