Not quite sure what your obsession is with me Stroller. Presumably you will be demanding that all posters declare their political allegiances before giving any opinions on here? I had thought that the Stasi had died with the demise of East Germany

I also had the temerity to criticise Warburton (a lot) so presumably you are now doubting my credentials as a QPR supporter and what to out me as being a fan of anyone but QPR? In fact I've actually said I wanted Warburton out - I've not said that about Andy Burnham

I stated my position in my post above. I don't post on here much now simply because some posters seem unable to accept that others may hold views other than their own

Even though I don't have any particular political affiliation I am proud to live in a multi party democratic country where free speech and voicing of individual opinions is both allowed and encouraged. Sometimes those views are even respected even if they aren't the view of all

This doesn't mark me down as a flag waving nationalist either - I felt the same when I lived and worked in (for example) Germany and Poland

And just to confuse you further my favourite politician......Frank Field

Whatever.

I tried this on a match thread and it never took off sadly.

Apologies - I must've missed that

Feel free to add to the Wycombe thread....We may need an injection of levity on there come 1700 on Saturday

I actually thought your post was a good one. I’ll do my best when we go a goal down but might be frantically trying to stop my place being flooded from all the tears on the forum.

<applause> If you say the wrong thing you will get called a racist or something similar. Just don't mention Biden,Abbott,Greta,Starmer,Corbyn,EU and you maybe okay.
The usual suspects will be vetting your posts to see if you are a 'chosen one'.

Alternatively don’t post stupid **** from questionable right wing sources for years and constantly be up in arms about random left wing politicians nobody has heard of while holding the actual government to a far lower standard and then get offended when someone suggests you’re right wing.

Not that I’m accusing Stortford of this. It’s more a general thought.

For a board with quite an even mix of left and right posters where you can say pretty much anything, the constant victim narrative from one side is just a bit lame.

Well great news for me this morning - I no longer need to self isolate

Because my eye op has been postponed yet again :emoticon-0121-angry

And unlikely to be done in January either apparently

Probably serves me right for trying to save £2500 back in September by opting for NHS treatment rather than going private

That’s **** mate. Life threatening ops are being postponed all over. It’s a scandal. Best of luck.

I’ve no idea what impact it’ll have on you if you had to wait another 3-6 months or what £2.5k means to you but you can’t really put a price on your eyesight and I can’t see the situation easing much before Easter if they’re pencilling you in for before then.

I'm resigned to paying up

The same guy will do it privately - he's got time to do it apparently as it is the local NHS trust cancelling ops, the restriction isn't his time

Really pisses off when I've been to the eye unit and I see so many of the staff standing around chatting when I then have to wait over an hour for my scheduled appointment. The ICU staff have been incredibly over worked through the pandemic, but the pandemic has ironically reduced the workload in most other departments

Starmer didn't though.
Fact is people need to accept that this is a pandemic and things change. We need to adapt. However I'm am sure a few opportunists will try and blame the government for this latest increase in cases?
