LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME - 2021

Just got a text message from my doctors saying I'm due a flu jab.
I had one last week at the local pharmacy, and he put everything into the computer, saying that it was to update my surgery so that they will know I have had one.

In the text message it says, let us know if you have already had one.

You can call the surgery to let us know, or to book a slot.

Now calling the surgery is about the most difficult thing in the world, as the phone is always off the hook. It will be even worse now if people are trying to book jabs as well.

The NHS is falling apart, in fact I think the whole country is falling apart.
I've never know so many problems with so many things, even back in the 70s with the 3 day week things weren't falling apart like they are now.

To many incompetent people doing jobs they aren't capable of doing, but have the correct paperwork I think.

 

Searching for fuel cans I've found a 5L can of unleaded that I've worked out must be 16 years old. I know that stuff goes 'off' and causes rotorvators, strimmers, chainsaws, etc. to fail to start, and have previously put in our cars, but I'm wondering if this has gone too far or will be OK diluted with fresh stuff.

Also found a 5L can of diesel that must be at least 8 years old, does that stuff go off?

 

To be on the safe side I'd put it on Ebay for £50.
No refunds or returns

 

Anyone got any hay, I need some fuel to do the school run tomorrow.

 

I just frightened a poor little birdie. I feel terrible. I have a couple of phony birds that I used as a joke by putting them in my son's houseplants and since that time, I'd just moved them out to the greenhouse. One fell on the floor this morning so I put it back up on a rail. Just a few minutes ago, it had fallen again, just outside the greenhouse. So I picked up and walked in there. I was thinking that it was rather warm even though it wasn't laying in the sunshine.

Yup, it was a wee little grey/white/yellow bird. I yelped, opened my hand and it took off like a rocket.

I hope I didn't do it any harm

 

They might come in useful soon @shiney.

 

I'm wondering when those supermarkets where fuel queues obstruct access to their stores start restricting fuel sales to overnight as customers can't get into/out of their car parks during the day. We went at 7:00 am yesterday for a C&C and got out just before it became gridlock on their access roads and adjoing A road. Seen online that police are advising the public not to contact them about any petrol queue related problems as they don't want to know.


All the school buses round here have been csncelled due to the 'fuel shortage', probably adding thousands of parents' cars to the petrol station queues.

 

Just had an email inviting me to pre order my Christmas tree.

 

Yep, you'd better believe it...

Yet more petrol fights break out and men are filmed filling bin bag with fuel

 

If there's no shortage of drivers in the EU, why have Amazon started flying stuff into the UK?

My last 2 Amazon orders from Germany have both been sent by air, one to East Midlands Airport and another to Southend Airport. Previously they were trucked/ferried across The Channel.
