    The 111 system at the NHS is a disaster
    ------------------

    Its always been a disaster. A crisis won't make it work better.
    They just read generic questions, and then say go to hospital just to be sure.*
    Not worth the paper its printed on.

    It’s always time to be flippant and make jokes. The tougher things get, the more true that becomes.

    So sorry to hear that Kaito. I’m not surprised 111 is struggling, the sheer lack of resources in this kind of situation the NHS has is appalling.

    All the very best, let’s hope you feel better soon.

    Exactly mate. In times of crisis, the Italians sing arias from their balconies, the French fry up some snails and make love, the Germans become incredibly efficient, and us Brits take the piss...

    I'm in Warsash and I'm in my mid-60's. Missed the flu jab this year due to being a dumb-arse and have had asthma but not for a few years. I bought a load of Ventolin from there because of hay fever this year and hardly ever go to the doctor. If you are asthmatic buy yourself a Nebuliser while you are able to.

    You have to do a questionnaire but it's simple enough that I could do it.

    All the best.

    Cheers for the feedback Kaits, I'm the same as you in that I haven't suffered asthma for a few years but I keep a spare inhaler. I've requested a brown preventative inhaler and I had a flu jab due to being type 2 although my condition is in remission due to losing weight eating well and exercising.
    Will certainly take your advise on the Nebuliser.

    Hope your chest gets better and you can carry on your life relatively normally.

    Didn't realise that you could purchase a nebuliser, might have to grab one of them myself.


    Hope you're feeling better soon Kaito.

    Me neither, i just ordered 3.

    I’d rather have them and not use them than need them and not have them.

    Found a good post on the spurs board that summaries how a lot of us feel. Thought it was worth a re-post.
    If a game is poised at 5-0, with the losing team down to 10 men, with 5 minutes left and the floodlights go out, the game is abandoned and replayed as if the abandoned game never happened. There's no authority that I can think of for saying..."Well this would have been the result, so we'll not bother finishing the game".

    It might be fair and fine for Liverpool to be declared winners but I can't see Norwich, Villa and Bournemouth accepting relegation for them based on their current positions, especially as Villa have a game in hand over Watford, who are 2 points above them. Also, Sheff Utd. would be 5th if they were to win their 29th game, That could be a CL place gone. If you can't be relegated because the season wasn't completed, in my opinion, you can't be awarded the league either. The only analagous situation is cancelling the game.

    If there's no existing authority for a decision and it's not applied equitably across the piece, it's a sham and such a decision would be in trouble if taken to the CAS by a complaining club, affected to their detriment. This is especially so if other countries leagues came to differing decisions and abandoned their seasons.

    The season is either played out to a conclusion or it should be voided ab initio.

    All the clubs are signed up to the rules of the competition before the season starts and if all matches are not completed then as I said yesterday it is fantasy football.

    Madness is already setting in with the Pool fans. I think they can see how this pans out, and are not taking it well.
