Gary Rossington has died.....the last remaining Skynyrd original.

I stole a chicken in his memory.

Is he obsessing about my posts again?

I bet he is. Funny isn't it how he rushes to post every time I do. fortunately he's blocked so I don't get to see his sparkling contribution.

A joke. obviously, as he is such a bore.

And btw.. I booked the tunnel today. so I'm in a remarkably good mood.

Well just woke up from a pisser of a weekend at work.  I work for the 111 out of hours Dr's service, anyway  we normally have seven cars that run overnight with a clinician and driver in each to cover the county, and just about manage.  Friday we had five cars Saturday and Sunday we had three cars, absolute nightmare, many people in need waiting hours longer than they should have and many not been seen at all.    Absolute shit show.  Poor service with staff run ragged.  😳

Its not a shortage of cars. its a shortage of staff to man them. same everywhere.

13 years of the Tories. is all you need to know. if anything worked they've managed to break it.

Well, the management answer would be lack of clinicians and drivers, which is true to a point, and there are reasons.     But realistically they spunked a big chunk of our yearly budget on agency staff to look after sun burnt entitled Holibobs, so cut cars to save money over the quieter months.   The truth is somewhere in the middle I suspect.   The result is the same end of life patients waiting in distress plus many others often in pain not getting the care they need in a timely manner.   I won’t go on because I could fill pages.   Thank goodness I have choir and a bit of fun tonight so I can forget about it until next Friday.   😶

All true but has gotten considerably worse post Covid.

Got out this morning on Miss USA , I was looking forward to see how she would run after deleting the side stand switch.  I rode up the A46 towards Stroud and gave it soome beans when it was clear, smooth acceleration all the way up to 80mph so all good there.  Later I took it down the rough Fosseway section with the whoops and again it was fine, no coughing, bamging or cutting out.

On reflection I think that switch had been going bad for over a year but I was mis-diagnosing it as a carb problem, anyway all good now 👍

My destination at Stroud was Capels Mill, a fascinating place and well worth a visit.

Might be meeting up with @Skippy on Sunday!

Weather permitting of course......but the forecast is looking pretty good at the moment.

………….please don’t break my motorbike this time @XTreme 😆…….actually, I could always bring the DR600S as that’s far too hard to be worried. 😳

Just his presence was enough to set the warning codes flashing up…….oh and he broke my jacket zip just by looking at it. 🤣

Harold Shipman would have sorted that out.
