The tone of this opening isn't good.
Man said meet outdoors if possible :rasta: will lend you a brolly, lads.
Two birds with one stone. Save on the ever increasing heating bill. Go freeze your bollocks off in the park or garden instead.
Who needs heating when we're getting 16 degrees in mid-October?

Really eloquently put too, note how none of the disgraceful staff had a retort to the pope namedrop too. Telling.
Fucking hell, what a merry band of spastics.
The pope is the head of all businesses across the UK, no, the world?
Aye.
That reformation you might have heard of?
HOAX!
0:16-0:32 is absolute comedy gold the heights of which haven't been reached since Chaplin.
State of those cunts :D
The heavy breathing from the camera bloke. Someone get him a chair.
Why do they need to see people face to face? Why are the government insistent on making health care an even less attractive place to work? It's not going to solve our pitiful doctors to patient ratio if we force more to quit.
Old people don't understand things that aren't face to face. It breaks their brains.
The cheek of expecting the cunts to work for their money.
There's only so much you can do over the phone.
It doesn't mean they can't do face to face appointments as well but mandating it is ridiculous. I don't know why working over a screen is less 'work worthy' than the other.
I've had a word with your barber and he's happy to talk you through your next trim via Skype.Quote:

You lose a lot not seeing them. You gather a lot of information by seeing the patient walk from the waiting room to the office.Quote:

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they should never happen but considering the strain on the system, it's a useful option.Quote:

Combine the two by lobbing fireworks to disperse the market crowd. I see us possibly lockdowning. Even if the numbers get more favourable, cold and flu season will pressure it.
If we have another lockdown, or even just any new 'measures', then how do we get out of having them every winter?
I'm really hoping they bottle it. Fuck commuting over winter.
Probably more money in the Christmas market shitathon than the park bonfire events. Wish it was the other way round tbfh.Quote:

I think GPs have gone too far towards doing stuff over phone appointments since the covid restrictions paved the way for it, but given their completely unmanageable patient and work loads I can see why they've done it (and are reluctant to go back).
Anyone who thinks GPs don't work hard is a moron.
What we actually need is more investment in health services and more doctors, rather than continuing to try and bleed ever more out of the already exsanguinated work force we currently have.
It’s not that they don’t work, it’s that they’re trying to get out of working.
No they aren't. They are trying to see more patients because they are overwhelmed with numbers, which is facilitated by phone appointments (which if anything are more difficult than face-to-face).Quote:

Agreed; I've also had appointments which were absolutely fine to do over the phone.
Person in field A thinks that field A needs more money. Who would have thunk so?
You really are a boring idiot.Quote:

Most worrying bit however, is:
Is that using COVID to push through stuff you'd have loved to do before but would have had no public support for? It very much looks like it.Quote:
Sage says making face coverings compulsory in some places is likely to help reduce the spread of Covid as well as other winter viruses, such as flu.
Always works that way, I made that point earlier.
We really are kindred spirits you and me Pep.
:wub:
Masks make little difference (see Scotland). What makes a difference is the number of people spending extended periods of time together in enclosed indoor environments. Masks are better theatre though as you can easily identify the unbelievers and burn them at the stake.
Jimmy converting to Team Work From Home. :drool:
Quite. Which is a terrifying insight into the thought process behind all this as it currently stands.Quote:

Having just gone round Spain and seen everyone working from the office with masks on at their desks all day, we might call their solution lo peor de los dos mundos.Quote:

They were indeed. 18 months ago. Situations change. Humans are useless at recognising this (are you?). I certainly wouldn't have been advocating we all wear them if over 40 million of our population had been vaccinated.Quote:

Jimmy's post was implying masks don't work, which you seemed to be agreeing with.Quote:
