Can you remember the old hearing aids that consisted of a receiver box with a wire coming out going to an earpiece which was similar to a small radio set. My brothers mate had one of those as he is 85% deaf and promptly became known as radio 1 kid as he claimed thats what he was listening to, we still call him that now. Poor ****** not only deaf but was born with four nipples which he still uses as part of a chat up line, he never gets anywhere though, probably due to his 1970s Kevin Keegan perm to cover up his hearing aids

Pome I got to the docs 10 mins early, did the touch screen thingy to find which waiting room I was in, just going to pick up a mag and park my 4rse when I get called in, now thats service. Any way the quack stuck his torch thingy in my lugs and gave them a clean bill of health so whacked his tuning fork on his desk and stuck it centrally on my forehead and I could hear more in the left so he is arranging for me to have an audiogram. Definitely getting old, 4 years ago I started wearing glasses for watching the box and driving now it looks like I am going to end with some hearing assistance. At least to teeth are still all mine

Probably retribution for my having a pop at them for not doing what they should have in the first place. I have yet to find anybody with a good word for the Royal United in Bath and would refuse to be taken there if it ever came to it

Morgue the RUH in Bath is no better, a few years ago Mrs A started vomiting around 3 am and could not stop, I phoned NHS direct at 9 am who said they would send someone out, hour and a half later no response so called again and told take her to our local A&E. They gave her a jab which did not work so at about 3 pm an ambulance transferred to the RUH. On the way the paramedic said she needed to be on a drip but he could not do it as just lost his status, RUH gave her some tablets but no drip so the vomiting carried on. At 9 pm I had a go at the staff and said put her on a drip which stopped her within an hour, at midnight I went home, at 2am RUH phoned to say they were discharging her.

5 to 2 Morgue , sorry what did you say, I think its years of working in the building industry and not wearing ear plugs when riding a motorcycle when I was younger, I tend to mishear things. For example as I left the office yesterday to go on site someone said when will you be back and I thought they said welcome back. Miss & Mrs A are constantly having to repeat things that I do not hear right and have pushed me to get it seen to. Also going to have a word about my snoring which is keeping Mrs A awake and getting worse but I think thats down to carrying a bit of weight at the moment
