Awake and up all night

Titan, you could start a trend for cardboard city on Addenbrooks lawns. Throw in a burger van and a couple of porta loos and you've almost got a festival.

I'm sure they'd be thrilled xxx

What a good idea has anyone got The Whos phone number or Rod Stewarts they could do a turn help to raise money for Macmillan cancer support . Got to old groups non of this modern crap 60s 70s and 80s . Pus Pink Floyd we need to raise money

Hi Mandy ️ 

No worries about me not sleeping hon, I'm well used to it but might go up for a snooze soon. No doubt the climb upstairs will wake me right up so 1-0 to the sleep thief. Lack of kip doesn't necessarily make me feel awful as I'm crabby all summer long anyway.

Well done Glyn on tackling the fish pond, making more room for Archie. He's a good un. I wouldn't mind pottering if that just involved taking a few steps around outside and not bushwhacking. I obviously disturbed a few little critters the other day as I got bitten on both ankles and they itch like crazy if I so much as look at them!

Now you've got the right idea watching DCI Barnaby and his missus Joyce solving crimes. Pair that with the breeze and it's Eutopia. Enjoy! xxx

*Disclaimer - I've never watched Midsummer Murders in my life - the info was filched from OH, who has xx

That's a cracking idea Titan.

I can't supply any phone numbers for the stars but there's a Led Zeppelin LP somewhere in the house that an ex left in my collection by mistake. You're more than welcome to that.

Now you need a generous bod to rig up a sound system and you're away! Addenbrooks all nighter ahoy xxx

Sounds good I been buying some vinyls recently of ebay beatles pink gloyd dire straights sex pistols all good 

Haha bet they wouldnt allow though byt a grest idea to raise money for macmillan and addenbrookes 

Titan, I've still got loads of vinyl - it's come back into fashion and Gen Z have found out what they've been missing, crackles and all.

You might be around OH's age as he's well into punk but not for me. I do love The Beatles though, along with several other genres.

Aye, I reckon the Addenbrookes festival will have to be shelved - unless Nicola finds some money from a mysterious source xxx

Last year I was leaving our GP's after my diabetic appointment and there was a lovely old lady in reception. All of 5 foot, well dressed and looking at her you would have thought someone's loving grandma.

No - she was banging he walking stick on the reception desk and shouting "No I haven't got the f****ng ape on my 'phone, no I haven't even got a f****ng mobile 'phone, neither have I got an appointment, now all I want is to see a f****ng GP".

I used to be a doctor's receptionist, sometimes faced with tirades like that and they can get a patient struck off. We even had a patient kick the door in when it was closed during covid, he was struck off and charged by the police; he later came back and begged to be reinstated as he couldn't find a practice taking on new patients but our GP partners refused. Individual GPs within a practice can also refuse to see a patient.

Hello Helen (Sbird ) 

Thanks for that - It's a job I couldn't do, I am great with a keyboard but not as good face to face - although I have (when I have had to) - run meetings with up to a 1000 people present. I do sometimes do face to face work for Macmillan off the Community.

When first diagnosed I had issues with my GP practice, it was a few "small" issues but they mounted up and impacted on my treatment. Being a man on Hormone Therapy I was trying to sort things with the reception staff and burst into tears. At that point she made me sit down - brought the Practice Manager out (a rare sighting at our GP's) and we were done and dusted in a few seconds.

I have the Practice Managers number but have never had to use it, never had an issue getting an appointment and the service has been brilliant. (I often wonder "if my cards marked").

Kind regards - Brian.
