    My experience of BUPA has been tremendous, online GP appointments within hours if required and then referral to your heart's content because the GP cunts don't actually care when they're sat in their living room and want their evening back so I got 5 free physio appointments for my hamstring tendon niggle which would have cost close to £500.

    As Lewis says, it should [and will] become the norm. Let the filthy fat crackheads bathe in their own NHS cesspool, they're the ones that abuse it.

    I have been thinking through this whole thing that she seems awfully composed for someone apparently going through a living nightmare and it smells a bit funny.

    That's got to be a game changer, surely. When you have a kid, you read the fucking instructions on medication. So why did she use them? She must have seen that it said ear. Then to run to the press with the compo pictures... hmm.

    This, coupled with her dodgy posts about her kids on Facebook and surely the police have got to be having a look at her here.

    Either that or her being a fucking witch or one sort or another was part of what drove him to 'take part in an online challenge'.

    What's the risk you mean (given he's essentially dead already)?

    It will be that he "dies" in transit, because moving someone in that condition is very difficult.

    You can't just wheel him and all the machines he's attached to into the back of an ambulance. It will involve transferring him onto portable equipment and there's a huge risk they won't be able to keep him going through that.

    The level of support you can offer in the back of even the most decked out ambulances isn't the same as a fully kitted out intensive care unit either.

    It would be a miracle if he "survives" it I'd have thought. Then she'll probably go after everyone involved for "messing up" the transfer.

    I mean, just tell the family

    "he probably won't make it there, but ok".
    "HE WILL BECAUSE HE IS SO SO STRONG AND A FIGHTER XOXO".
    "OK, please sign this disclaimer accepting that we have told you that he will not make it there"

    Then shove him in an ambulance and then he dies, everyone's "happy". They're planning to turn the machines off either way.

    I get the impression having soured things so badly with the hospital she views it as 'giving them the win' if they turn off life support so she wants to move him and get the last word. God help the poor doctor or nurse who discovers him if he 'dies' in the meantime (he's been dead since he was brought in).

    As with all things, it's not that straightforward.

    For one thing, paediatric intensive care transfer teams are an extremely scarce resource. We usually only have one in our region at a given time. How can you justify tying them up with an almost certainly futile attempt at transferring a child who is essentially already dead, which could end up delaying them attending to an extremely sick child who has a realistic chance of surviving with prompt transfer? It's genuinely not beyond the realms of possibility that another child dies who wouldn't otherwise have if they attempt this.

    It's also extremely unfair on the staff in my opinion. You are tasking them with an impossibility. No doubt the family will be insisting on every possible intervention to get him to the hospice "alive", so you are sentencing these poor staff to being on a road somewhere in the back of an ambulance trying to perform heroics on a corpse knowing they will fail and knowing they will probably get dragged through the press by the mother afterwards.

    We have principles and laws around these sorts of situations for good reasons. Once you start setting precedence for doing things which break those principles, it's very hard to walk back.

    Morning everyone, how about we probably kill that kid over there today.

    There are other considerations aside from he's going to die anyway so what's the harm.

    He's already dead. They're just arguing over which way the body gets to the morgue, and mummy wants to take the characteristically performative route.

    I mean, he really looks like Castro. I can't be mad at that unless he goes full Jared Leto. Nobody complained when you played an Italian plumber, John. Well, not for that specific reason, at least.

    This trend needs to fuck off ASAP. Despite American insistence otherwise, Hispanic people are just tanned white people. Alright, there's a bit of Montezuma blood in there, but they're basically just Spanuguese like our mate Kiko. Any white bloke will do. Or are we now so far down this rabbit hole that they need a DNA test prior to any casting selection?

    Yeah, I really can't get my head around this whole "white people obviously can't play black people in films you fucking disgusting racist slave-owning piece of shit but yeah obviously the Queen could be played by a set of Japanese male conjoined twins you fucking disgusting racist Hiroshima-loving piece of shit" stance that some of the super-woke seem to take.

    Perhaps I'm just a disgusting fucking cis-white-male, racist, slave-owning, Hiroshima-loving piece of shit after all.

    Exactly that. Fair enough we don't want Nicolas Cage playing Nelson Mandela (well, I do, because it would be hilarious, but, you know) but we're heading towards hand wringing over the idea of anyone portraying someone they aren't exactly the same as. Which is problematic, because it's what Actors get paid to do.

    Good luck finding an out and proud nonce to play them roles.

    An Irish “LGBTQ+ Inclusive” football team beat out the female competition in the 2022 Junior J Shield Final, claiming a significant margin of victory in every placing that many attribute to the fact a biological male was on the team.
    I saw the picture yesterday but figured it was a spoof and never bothered reading it. Maybe it still is. @Giggles help us out.

    While Valentino’s exact age is unknown, in a 2021 panel interview he stated he had been playing sports for “over 30 years.” While he now lives in Dublin, Valentino is originally from Italy, and his LinkedIn states that he is presently employed as a program specialist for TikTok.
    How can his age be unknown? Does he identify as 16?

    EDIT: Man, that article goes places.

    “I quit team sports when I started feeling uncomfortable with the male environment...
    But presumably if the teenage girls start to feel "uncomfortable" at having a biologically male adult imposed on them, they are transphobic?

    Junior J wouldn’t be an underage grade, it’s adult level but you’d regularly see 16 and 17 year olds play in it also especially at that level were numbers would be really low. So his age shouldn’t really be part of the issue. The fact he’s a bloke is enough of a one anyway.

    The adult levels would go Senior - Intermediate - Junior A - Junior B etc etc with letters as far as you need. You’d regularly have an age spread of 16 to 40+ in low junior levels in the men’s games anyway.

    Senior isn’t oldies either, just just the top level of adult. The main underage is Minor (U17) and U20.

    I believe the argument is more around implementing affirmative action, by not taking roles away from actors of certain colour/race/etc.
    You'll get people who are outraged by this also ironically be outraged if there is ever a black or female James Bond.

    The fringe is weird tbf, I spose in theory the tourists just go for a few days and just impulse watch whatever shite they get fliered with, but from my experience people just do a bit of research and watch stuff by established people/people with HYPE. Why would you go and watch this dork when there's a million other things on at the same time?
