Good point, I need my pacemaker replacing this year, so you cunts can stop in the house and shut your fucking gobs for the next 6 months. 

 

It's gonna get mental when we start doing the corona hokey cokey though. Imagine the first day they re open the pubs ffs.

 

Pacemaker appointment cancelled.

Letter received today. I rang the hospital - felt like a cunt doing it but basically said to the lass "I know you've got a lot on, so I'm sorry to be a dick, but this thing was reporting less than 6 months battery left in November.... 😬"

Who's this lad on Hancock's right? Looks like an auctioneer off Bargain Hunt.

Time to sacrifice the Roomba for parts. It's what he would've wanted.

 I'm just gonna carry a car battery and some jumper cables.

Fuckin hell that's mental.  Does it beep like a smoke alarm?

 

 

Seriously though, give PALS a call, they're great at getting things moving in the NHS.  No idea if they can do anything, but they should be able to get it confirmed if it was cancelled in error.

Disappointed you can’t just replace it yourself Gemmill. Sort yourself out man.  

[ewerk 30595]

Piece of piss tbh.

Cheers Phil. The lass on the phone seemed to think that they would revisit all appointments next week and any considered urgent would be rescheduled to May (and she reckoned that would include mine). We'll see though! Any bother, I'll give this PALS lot a shout so thanks for that.

Wow. @ewerk, you still confident this situation is less serious than 2008?

 

 

[ewerk 30595]

This is temporary. Those jobs haven’t gone, they’re largely just paused.

Not sure that will be true in the US, and we have no idea how long this will go on or be repeated. Demand for items like automobiles will be zero for years, perpetuating the problem. I think this is an epoch defining event bigger than anything that's happened before in modern times, including WW2, especially for the US. 2008 will look tiny in comparison. I'd be interested in an update in what the other so called accountant thinks.

Good god man, it’s the weekend

[Renton 21604]

I'll add the peak there is apparently 6.6 million. Its already over 10 million. Many projections are for it to go up to 40 million. Capitalist countries can't handle this.
