Other people telling you about their dreams.

It didn't really happen, it's not interesting. 

Yes that's weird, dreams are weird quite often.

Shut up.

When did man of the match become player of the match?

It’s not mixed doubles FFS!

I get this, and fairly often I've done something fairly diabolical in the dream which results in her getting the 'ump with the real me for what I've done in her dream.

I also find the"maybe it means..."  dream conversation pretty annoying, although have found that "yeah, maybe" is the best response, rather than "no it bloody doesn't".

My wife struggles a bit with hyper mobility and in the last few weeks has been suffering with firstly back pain and then in the last few days pain in the hip

She originally went to the Docs about the Back Problem who simply told her to take ibuprofen (she's allergic), thankfully pain has slowly gone away but has been replaced by the hip issue which is really hindering her ability to walk or drive

Went back to the Docs last night about both the back and hip who referred her to both X-Ray and Physio

This morning she's gone along for the X-Ray to be told that the results on her back show that there is nothing wrong (confirming that the pain is coming from the hip) yet that they cant do the second X-Ray because her GP didnt sign it off, a call to Darent Valley Hospital followed from those @ Gravesend Hospital to try and get permission to do the second X-Ray yet arent allowed because its got to come from the GP

So basically my Wife now has to book a second GP appointment and go along for a second X-Ray when had the GP done their job properly in the first instance not only could this have saved a lot of time yet also would have freed up an appointment for someone else!!

Did she try and phone the GP from the hospital ?

Not sure... Gravesend Hospital did it all for her, presume not

I had the same problem with my hernia. I saw my doctor and told him I had pain both sides, who confirmed I had a hernia and was sending me for an X-ray When I got to the hospital for my X-ray I was kept waiting for an hour after my appointment time. Eventually when I was called she took about 2 minutes to scan my left side and when I said it was on the right as well, she said the doctor only asked for my left side. I asked again, as it only took a minute could she not just do it and she said no, following GP instructions. I was sent to a small clinic to have the hernia done by keyhole surgery. When they checked, they said I had a double hernia and they could not do them both so I had to go to another hospital for open surgery. This in all took about 18 months, all because the doctor only asked for one side to be scanned

I've bored people before with this recommendation, but The Alexander Technique 'cured' me of chronic back pain and Plantar Fasciitis. It's not for everyone, and requires an open mind and an awareness that one is learning a technique from a teacher rather than being a patient waiting to be cured.  
The Technique is not a 'fad', and is recognised by the BMA as a legitimate treatment for numerous physical ailments including -  after a quick search -  Hypermobility.
I can, of course, only speak of my experience, but I know that it has improved my physicality immeasurably, my general sense of well-being, not to mention some extraordinary sensations.
I've just noticed your mention of Gravesend Hospital; my teacher is based in Gravesend, and I travel from Greenwich to see him...
Good luck.

Is that not illegal?

Typical Audiot!

Hold an impromptu fire drill, bang the door into the front grill a few times, have some of your heaviest members of staff sit on the bonnet and any in stiletto heels drag their feet across the front of the car. It would also be a real shame if that fire extinguisher was accidentally dropped on the windscreen.

They wouldn’t park there again, that’s for sure.

Dartcharge

 I was late paying the dart charge, I paid the next day but I had a good reason, basically I don't live in UK and it was a hire car but couldn't make a debit card payment as my bank wouldn't confirm payment without a pass code so then had to wait until I found a different card and WiFi spot. Anyway long story short, they been sending letters, threatening, went to court and its now £180. Ridiculous, all because of £2.50 which I paid the next day anyway.

Why doesn't Common sense prevail?  Surely the principle is no one is going to try and weasel out of paying £2.50?

Yes I believe so, health and safety would be all over it if there was a fire, I understand that the owners of the building as well as the car owner would be culpable. The owner of the building (its a shared building with about 4 companies renting) was sent the pic, and it was moved within 10 minutes. The Doris who's car it is has parked it there before, so obviously doesn't give a poo (not allowed to say shit on here any more)

Very foggy morning today, and still helmets (can we say helmet?) driving with no lights on........they should be put against a wall and shot!
