h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

cancelled. Delayed in traffic... 5 minutes late. Can't see me.

I wouldn't mind, but I left in plenty of time. Didn't know there were road works.

Re-booked 24th August!

So for a little longer, unless Broadstairs Festival works it's



Just not looking forward to the Spanish inquisition from the family.



What's a guy to do?

folks!

MMF

but, hun, you have to go on 24th August even if the worked - print out the message you wrote at the top of this and take it with you.

Since you were only 5 minutes late, I don't understand why the appointment had to be rescheduled. I'm thinking about all those times I was on time for appointments and had to sit and wait for ages before I was called. The medical system is clearly different there.

Rats, MMF. That's jolly unfair of them

You do have a horrible health 'care' in the UK. I'm sure they'd have you made wait for hours had you arrived in time.

over here B'El, mention the word "private" and you'll be whisked in anywhere within seconds

You ain't wrong there B'El

It's run for the 'management', not the patients - Er! clients!!

You can tell I am not a fan!! Having said that they were pretty good to my other half but that was years ago. Things have got very much worse since then, and it is not everywhere. Some things are still excellent.

AW Shucks!! MMF.What rotten luck.the next one is still this month ,and I do so hope the festival does its

This came into the work inbox.

Still gettting my head round it, but some of it makes sense!

See what you think!

It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of
Importance, it lasts so short a time.
He that dies pays all his debts.
History is little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind.
We judge others by their behaviour. We judge ourselves by our intentions.
There is no achievement without goals.
If you suspect a man, don't employ him, and if you employ him, don't suspect him.
We must do better or perish as the nation we know today.
Carry on any enterprise as if all future success depended on it.
The idol is the measure of the worshipper.
Columbus discovered no isle or key so lonely as himself.
Always accept good fortune with grace and humility.
I've been on a diet for two weeks and all I've lost is two weeks.
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its
presence will induce.

I reserve judgement at present, as I haven't fully worked it out,

But at first sight it seems right.

By the way, PTB... This was spam!!!
MMF

It sounds like someone has strung a lot of sayings together in an attempt to create a message of some sort. It all falls apart when you get to the bit about dieting, which is a funny saying but doesn't fit in with the more serious tone of the others. Some of them are certainly worth thinking about.

some of my PHILOSOPHIES, but not in any order
No1: Everybody is my friend, until they prove different.
No2: The pleasure of giving, is its own reward.
No3: Insulting people, is not a way of life.
No4: I treat all insults as compliments, that way I get more.
No5: I never try to be anyone other than me.
No6: Be true and loyal to close friends, one day you may need to count on them.
No7: Manners cost nothing, so why hasn't more people got them.
No8: Do everything in my power, to cheer people up, if their down.
No9: Always look to the front, to see what you can learn..Only look to the back, to see what you have forgotten.
No10:Always try to laugh at life, it makes it less painful, because life can be a bitch otherwise.
No11:Everything that I do in life, I do in good faith, not to harm or insult.
No12:Death can't stop me from being an idiot, it can only slow me down.
No13:Sadness is just another part of life.BUT! it will never be part of mine.
No14:Each friend I gain, makes me a RICHER person, far greater than having money.
No15:May the WOLF run as free on the ground, as the EAGLE flys in the air and may MANKIND learn to live as one, denouncing HATRED.


just to show you MMF, you will always have a friend in me mate(along many others from hootoo)

Good luck for the 24th
I won't be back on H2G2 for some time. So until I am.....

May the road always rise to greet you.
May the sun always be warm on your face.
May the wind always be gentle on your back.
May the rains fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again
May your God hold you in the palm of his hand

Old Celtic saying

words pure of heart my friendsee you as soon as possible

MMF,

for tomorrow. Hope all goes well this time.



Websailor

best of luck for tomorrow,MMF.

Hope it goes well.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I am not looking forward to getting up so early, but my brain is more attuned to good stuff, than stuff.

I'll let you knoow the outcome!

MMF

Would you believe it?

I turned up five minutes late last time, and was told I couldn't be seen.

Today I am on time, ansd kept waiting for 30 minutes!

Anyway, I saw the but not the one I'd seen previously, so not terribly useful. She didn't know what the previous had arranged, and just asked if I wanted Meds or Counselling?

What to do? Neither really help.

The first suppresses the feelings, with possible side-effects, including possible addiction.

The second is really just talking to myself, with a nodding head in front of me!



At present, my holiday has lifted the clouds, and reducing intake may help.

One thing I have got to do is see the in two weeks for a general MOT. Check under the bonnet, check the brakes, and make sure the engine works...

Oh well! Might as well take more blood of me, as if they haven't taken enough...

I'll keep you posted. It's the biopsy on Wednesday. Probably have a leg like Emmenthal afterwards!



Anyway, Here's to the alleged NHS, and maybe a result, and the clouds will disappear forever!



MMF

Why did I know it would be a waste of time?

<<>>

Well, that's par for course MMF. I have a friend who has the same kind of problems. Nodding heads are not a lot of use are they?!!

It seems to me they get money for old rope. Short consultations, nothing achieved, no continuity

Oh, well lets hope your biopsy answers some questions.

Take care and keep us posted,
