About 10 - 15 years ago I heard about a copper who was liree to a "call" to be jumped by some local youth.

Long story short no one cared and said he had it coming as he was a bit of a **** apparently.

Fair enough ... referring to you as Spartacus wasn't inferring you would step in ... just your love of the series ...

Got the utmost respect for our servicemen .... first job I had on a night shift in a shoe factory with two lads who had just come out the army after tours in Northern Ireland . One was in a he'll of a state .. him and one if his mates on routine patrol saw a curtain move and so approached the front door ... his mate was shot through the letter box and was killed ... the lad I knew confessed he actually **** himself (literally) ... but the yra8ning kicked in and he fired back until the support came up ... can't imagine going through that sort of **** and got the utmost respect for those that have <ok>

I think it's basically that most of them do seem to act like pompous ****s.. Even so they are there to serve and protect.

Shut the **** up fosse. I have no problem with you taking the piss man.

As for your second part, we all deal with things differently, just like this thread has proved.

My old mate billy (rip) let the past dwell on him. I just blank it all out and crack on.

You can literally see the change as they become slightly isolated and distant

When I was looking to join up as a bloke you needed to be 5'8" minimum and the training test was no gimme

The salary wasn't great but the perks were fantastic

Now I wouldn't even consider it tbh. No perks, **** salary and no respect from those you're supposed to be protecting (although I do believe some of that is self.inflicted)

I can imagine that but the foreign staff's lack of English doesn't help either and causes frustration. We don't seem to get this up North, maybe all immigrant NHS workers down South should have tuition on talking like a fanny<ok>

Very good point Joe and it does cause frustration in patients. Generally these days getting to see your own doctor is a bygone thing, so we accept you see what ever doctor is available. If you go to the practise and cover is supplied by a temporary doctor, i don't think it is unreasonable to expect a clear ability to speak English, particularly as a professional. You might just get away with poor English if you are just popping along because you have a flu virus, but for more complex matters, the very least a patient should be able to expect is a doctor that is clear in his or her vocal communication.

Totally agree mate, it seems the clip boards got their ticks but they never looked into the language barrier when appointing GP's when they came from overseas. My worry is, we have a few re-cycling Autumn illnesses in this Country like Meningitis, Mumps and Glandular fever. How are these import GP's tested to know the symtoms of these, very typical cold British diseases? One is fatal if not caught quick so how can they communicate their diagnosis and treatment if they have the understanding and English speech equivalent to a parrot?

Every defense is an attack, also why would I need to hit someone when you can keep them out of range with a kick?

Lol, I'd go straight through that kick, Rocky, if not I've got quick feet and hands. I'd get in there and they'd be nowt left of your face. You should have turned up to that straightener, you know that always pissed me off.

Apparently English speaking nurses from say Australia are failing the English tests

Hayley Purcell wants to fill one of those posts. Born in Adelaide, she has worked as a nurse in South Australia for the last 11 years, her career spanning mental health, intensive care, paediatrics, surgical procedures and orthopaedics. She narrowly failed the written language exam, even though she has a bachelor’s degree in nursing.


How the **** are some of the Malaysian ones getting in?

As for the attack in the Italian

The judge told O’Leary, who claimed he had not been an attacker: “I am giving you the chance to show you can put this type of behaviour behind you.”
