With all the horridness going on in the world, I thought this might cheer us up a little, and no mistake....

Old Grunter.
Seriously Strong Italian Half-Baked Pig Cheese.
Whatever next?
A buxom Polish maiden producing kindling from betwixt her bounteous boobies?
Not a bad way to offset the fuel crisis, I suppose.
I wouldn't venture anywhere near to Penrose's nesting girders though!
That would be extremely foolhardy, wooden tit?
I walked to the in-store pharmacy at Asda, and picked up my prescription requested yesterday,which was a surprise, because I was expecting two different medications requested last Friday. Nope, they haven't received that from my GP's Medical Practice.
Ho hum.
I continued my walk to my son's place, roused him from his torpor and rested with a nice cup of coffee whilst after sone persuasion from his Dad, he tended to his ablutions, and got dressed in preparation for walkies with an excited FrankieDoggie. Poor little bugger was so pleased at the prospect.
So we set off to my GP surgery to chase up the prescription that was jammed up in the system somewhere.
The lovely receptionist was very helpful and told me to fill out a request slip and pop it in the box as per the correct procedure. It would be processed within 48 hours as usual.
"No, I said, I already submitted this request last Friday, and I need one of the items tomorrow, as I have run out of them today. It is rather important, as I have had a triple coronary bypass three weeks ago, and it is an essential element of my medication.
The other receptionist then intervened and said she would try to get a doctor to authorise the issue of a script this very same day, and she would call me to let me know when it could be collected from the pharmacy.
Well, thankyou for some common sense.
EB and FrankieDoggie had waited patiently oustside for me, and we continued or walk to arrive back at Robbo Towers, where Grandma made a big fuss of Frankie and gave her some special doggie sausages, most appropriate for a sausage dog.
My total walking distance had been approx two (2) miles.
I was pleased with that.
At 17:00 hrs I got a phone call from the kind Surgery Receptionist to tell me that the prescription had been sent to the Pharmacy for collection, so I asked Mrs Robbo if she would kindly go in her car to collect it for me and give EB and FrankieDoggie a lift back home as well. She reluctantly agreed ( it would mean missing "The Chase" or whatever and she doesn't like driving in the dark). But off they went.
At 17:40 hrs, she returned empty handed, apart from a crumpled paper prescription slip.
Apparently the Pharmacy had no stock of that particular drug, and they would have to order it in, so it would be ready on Friday. Alternatively they said she could try at their other branch about 1/4 mile down the road, and gave her the printed slip.
So she tried the other branch. Yes, they had some in stock, but unfortunately they weren't allowed to issue the drug because the recipient was not registered with them. No amount of pleading or appeal to reason worked, so she came home empty-handed and very annoyed. No, VERY ANNOYED!!!
It was my fault that she missed her TV programme.
But she did give me the slip. Which is nice.
Perhaps I should just chew on that?
I can only assume it must be something to do with county lines rivalries.
Gnite nite Trivs.
Sleep well and don't have Gnightmares.

It’s a good morning from outpost F.
Bad show with regard to that pharmacy gr. What will you do now?
Another trailer load of wood and general rubbish to go down to the dump this morning then an agent M ramble. Madame M has to continue working after her round as a load of buses need shifting between depots. And she gets them jobs because of her rare ability to be able to hold instructions in her head and carry them out without making a big drama over it and generally not feck it up.
A dry day is forecast which is incredible as it’s raining as I type this!
All the best to Miss Futt and thanks Bomma.
Fout.

The nenaitchess is in a sad state of affairs at the moment, down i am sure to serious mis management.
A disclaimer before i get started - this is not in any way shape or form a slight on the nurses and doctors in nospittles, nor some of the more different roles.
So i have full life health issues and it's been a fight to finally get the nenaitchess to classify me as "at risk".
Hospital i supposedly visit - let's not go there - has me down as "at risk"
Work has me as "at risk"
The nenaitchess itself has me calssified as "at risk" finally
My GP's?? Nope, nothing wrong with you.
The nenaitchess itself, your employers, have me as at risk, Addenbrookes nosipittle - which incidentally is one of the best hospitals in the entire country - has me as at risk. Are you really telling me that they don't know what they are taking about, yet you, mr nobody GP who isn't even a junior partner in the surgery, are telling me they are all wrong
Yes, you are fine and don't need a covid jab or a flu jab.
Give me streng...i have a fking letter here from the NHS telling me i am classed as vulnerable and need these as a matter of course, the NHS app even alerts me to the requirements, so how the fk is there nothing wrong with me?? An organisation of which you are just the square root of fk all of, says i am at risk and vulnerable, yet you know better is that it?
Yes
Her Ladyship insists this is the best doctors in town - it isnt by a long way - so she is not going to change GP's.
I give up, i really do
So sympathies glenners, it isn't just you that has to deal withbaeur
buro paperowrk malarky and fings innit

I went arse over tit this morning loading cases into the car. I fell over a small case as I was pushing it, it tripped me up and I head butted the wing of the car and ended up in the road, we’re at the airport now but I have various aches and pains appearing. Good start to the holiday.

I prescribe a Bloody Mary. 
Crikey! Every time I look in here some misfortune has befallen one or more of our correspondents.
I hope nobody thinks I’m being selfish when I say that I hope it’s not catching. I’m going to have to brave the Norf Circ again later today and I’ll need all the luck I can muster.
The good news is that I have a fresh ticket for the motah at the cost of an oil change, new rear brake pads and a couple of TPS replacements.
In the meantime, I wish all well here!

So sorry to hear of your toothy woes Dermot O'Logical, not what you need at any time of year.
I regard it as a full service and MOT in anticipation of the forthcoming festive festivities season!Good morneve, all!
Today I will be mostly cleaning Miss O'Logical's car, as I appear to have promised. Apparently.
So I'm off for a morning perambulation, then I'll go and collect said car and proceed to anoint it with many of my expensive detailing products, which will devour most of the sparse daylight hours with which we are granted at this time of year.
Tomorrow, I will clean the mighty Up(!), because I've seen the weather forecast for the next few days, and I believe it's going to be so cold that Northern people will be donning their t-shirts. It's going to be THAT cold, so car claning will be off the agenda.
Get well soon any Trivs or Triv associates or hangers-on who are ailing at the moment. Glenners, have a look at Pharmacy2U, you can just order your prescriptions online, and a few days later they're delivered by the postman. Works for me.
Take care, the rest of you.
