Just won Bronze at Brazilian Jiu-jitsu comp. Buzzing! Tough day tough matches but really proud of myself. 
Going to have to risk going up to the local plague pit as my younger sister is has been admitted with flu and pneumonia. She suffers Asthma flair ups when ill and they won't even give her an i haler or nebuliser. Also the cleaning is not up to scratch and the bathroom is coated in feaces.
She was feeling better before she had to spend a night on the ward and is mos struggling. No staff wearing masks and she is worried about spreading the flu. They put her on the gastro ward too, so I am guessing beds on respiratory are full.
Normally I have to avoid sick family and friends, especially respiratory stuff, as my son is very vulnerable but I can't leave her in that state

Oh and Tom Hardy was there too!

I'd phone up and ask to speak to the Ward Manager and ensure that you ask for the escalation process around PALS if you think clinical needs aren't being met.

Can confirm fire helps, I let a friend rope me into helping at his allotment today. Really that meant, beer and pizza then sleep on his couch, get up 9am and do an easy 4 hours cutting branches with a baby chainsaw on a stick. Plus barbecue.
On the train home for pub quiz smelling of smoke
Hopefully they will get things together a bit more. Looks like it was a rushed transfer from AMU. Things had been cleaned a bit more when I got there but some missed areas that I raised. A doctor did get a nebuliser sorted as we got there.
Ward Manager wasn't on the ward in the window I was there. Clarified what the plan was and confirmed she is getting Tamiflu, as well as antibiotics, but a dose was missed during transfer. Got a leaflet for the complaints procedure if we need to escalate.
My sister looks rough and is very tired and was a bit overwhelmed with the lack of clarity but was happy we got some clear answers. She is usually the one to fight her corner and everyone elses, so isn't used to feeling so wrecked she can barely function.

Had a health check. BMI good, blood pressure good, cholesterol, the bad kind I am under 5.0 which is good, but the good stuff is slightly under 1. Overall not bad, just need to eat more avocados.

I'm trying to arrange hotels for our annual lads trip to Spain. It's annoying as hell as the others keep suggesting things ("let's go to salamanca for one night") with no idea of travel times or anything else.
My control freakery means I have to do it all, as they are dangerously useless and will mess it all up. This is based on much experience of them messing everything up.

Let them do it, sit back and enjoy the chaos.

No chance!
I trusted them to buy train tickets once. We got marooned in El Escorial for several hours as a result.
It turned out that asking the Spanish speaking train guy for "el returno ticketo, senor" does not work.

Scientists reveal what and where HEAVEN is
In popular culture, heaven is depicted with pearly gates, fluffy clouds and bright, celestial lights. So what actually is heaven, and where is it in relation to our universe? Scientists and theologians explain all.

It's extremely annoying. One the other day was "scientists have successfully performed teleportation for the first time"
I knew they hadn't, but I clicked it, and sure enough, they had cracked quantum teleportation... What does that even mean. (Probably nothing)

Daily Fail, wouldn't expect any better of them scumbags.
Some some small birds finally found my bird feeder 5 stories up!
I think it's been up for about 5 weeks
although I don't think my camera would have detected them anyway.. they are so small and sneak around the wall to the feeder, so it doesn't really detect their motion I guess.
luckily it was a windy day and it recorded 2min footage almost the whole time.
almost didn't spot the little dot on the preview :O
I was starting to think nothing would come because seagulls fly around here all the time.
now I can happily refill it with fresh seed

What a bizarre business practice. I was doing a search on a comparison site just at a potential loan to get a feel for rates etc. I didn't sign up for anything as the options through the broker were rubbish. An hour later i've got €300 in my bank and an email telling me i've been approved for a loan of €300 interest free for 1 month.
Spoke to the bank who suggested this was a fairly well known payday loan style company and just told me to get in touch with them. I replied to the email to say i didn't sign up for a loan and got a quick reply explaining some nonsense and so i had to go into their website and pay it back (as advised from my bank).
Googling seems to suggest it's a regular thing that they just send out €300 to people for fun! Just seems madness that they do this. Presumably they hope people don't realise and then charges get excessive once you're late in sending it back, but just seems mental!

I'd be sending that to here https://www.fca.org.uk/contact I might consider emailing my MP for them to investigate too. That sort of practice needs to be wiped out asap. Also why I use fake details when doing initial searches.
