Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Morning minger losers One more day of major slog before I make it back to the sunshine, I hope. Will have to do a fair bit more work when I get there but it should be a much more reasonable pace ps remembered I didn’t reply to @yen_powell about “Morning minger losers.” What Boboneleg said about it being a West Country thing is right. Hard to believe it’s mostly affectionate. Hello ugly losers generally means you’re saying hello to your own kind of mates, they’re losers, so are you, thats why you’re mates. It can be used in a more insulting way if you sneered implying they’re losers and you’re not but it’s always received with smiles cos they know you’re a minger loser too.

I go in on Thursday evening @Slowlycatchymonkey, to be zapped on Friday morning if it all goes to plan.

We expect dumb thumbs up in hospital pics the second it’s possible and a post op a pic of your midazolamed face Although I think you said it was a GA so maybe just except all painkillers (if they even ask, normally they just dose you while unconscious ) and get Mandy to take one with your eyes spinning.. for your records obviously not our gratuitous entertainment.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Yeah, it's under a GA, so I'll not be aware of anything until later in the day! Mandy isn't planning on coming in until the afternoon, so the humiliating pictures of me off my trolley may have to wait! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 25 minutes ago, XTreme said: You got private healthcare or State Bob? It's a bit different in France, Pete. The state healthcare generally covers you up to 75% of the cost and you can pay the other 25% yourself or have a kind of top-up insurance to cover it. As it happens, full-time employees in France get the top-up insurance as part of their package, so Mandy gets that, which also covers me. I am booking a private room, because I'm an unsociable bastard, which will cost a little extra over what is covered by the insurance. I think it's about 65€ a night over what's covered. In effect, all hospitals in France are private, but the state healthcare system reimburses them directly and the insurance, if you have it, generally does the same, or you pay it and they reimburse you directly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I'm paying tax and social charges on my income in France. Once I start drawing my state pension from the UK I will need to get an S1 form from the DWP in Newcastle and then the UK will start paying my medical charges here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 It seems my dishwasher is bollocksed. It was making a lot of noise, but not actually doing anything when I looked inside after an hour. I was just looking to buy a new one, same make, it's at least 25 years old, so I am not too upset. What the hell has happened in the mean time though. Why do I want a dishwasher with WiFi and remote starting?? This seems to be the normal state of affairs for dish washers when looking at a new Bosch one! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
