My Henry 8th alarm just went off
The Covid19 WFH Thread
Heaven help us if someone mentions chickpeas.
IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD TELL US WHY ED IS MAKING A BIG FUSS ABOUT CHICKPEAS…
We could use Garbanzo beans to circumnavigate the alleged faux pas

Fair play for showing some balls and an independent mind again. It’s a good interview.

Data from NHS England shows 224,205 people in December had been waiting “in limbo” according to senior doctors – the highest number for any calendar month since April 2008. In December 2019 the figure was just 1,467.

But normal acceptable doesn’t exist. What’s the alternative?
Not being contrary, and definitely not denigrating anything your friends are going through.
I’ve been waiting on routine checkups and am now on the endangered species list. Could have been caught earlier, but could be worse, and medical professionals are busting their fucking nuts.
alistair Of course it’s acceptable, there’s a pandemic on - what are the options?
Along_the_Wire no, it fucking well isn’t. My mother in law is in agony
But, so are thousands of NHS Doctors and Nurses having to put in fucking shifts to save peoples lives. Oh, and also you’re MIL probably has a greater chance of catching Covid in Hospital so an extra 6 months in pain is worth a lifetime when you could possibly die because she demands her op now.
Go private Alistair.
Whats your solution then Ali?
Are you finally happy to go all in & admit the Tories have fucked it all up and a bunch of cunts?!
alistair Is she in immediate risk of death?
Along_the_Wire like most MIL it probably ain’t going to stop her from fucking moaning.
If you go into hospital your chances of contacting COVID significantly increase. If you have an operation you are in for at least a few days. Generally you would be having an operation to deal with a relatively serious health condition - even if not, if you have other underlying conditions this vastly increases your risk of death from COVID.

Along_the_Wire don’t think so but you never know. She lives three hours away and we have not seen her since March which is troubling for my wife. They did check for cancer at the start which came back negative and gave her pain killers which don’t work. Living in acute pancreatic, abdominal pain which is getting worse and struggling to sleep. Still waiting for a hospital appointment. Just venting my frustrations.
alistair Feel for you man and its an understandable frustration as you have to manage the emotions of the other half and all the questions revolve around why?
My other half hasn’t seen her mum in almost two years now and during the earlier days, she was extremely anxious about when she would get back to see her. Especially seeing as she somehow contracted Glandular Fever! The wife is now at the stage where we’ll only go to the US once the numbers start to stabilise and hopefully, the vaccine has bought a decent amount of time in the interim.
