Last night I made an attempt to explain my medical condition but fell into what Stanley would say " the Gods are against me". no sooner had I hit the send button the laptop went into melt down. Everything crashed the only thing left was the dilemma at to which window to throw it out off. B...

Its been said many times the cost of living that the right-wing press are pushing is the CPI cost of living. stuff that has a CPI element to its measure. These have dropped fractionally from 6.7% to 4.6% this means as we all know prices are still rising on top of what went before. What good old Jere...

I guess you'll approve of this move! `Booths supermarket puts staff back behind its tills' Out doing my bit at Sainsburys doing a survey on what shoppers wore on there feet. Trainers 98%. shoes 2% clogs 0%. Meanwhile Mrs P running round doing her bit to empty shelves. Studied the self check out sec...

I think it's becoming obvious that Israel will ignore any call for a ceasefire. The great and the good big powers can't do a thing about it. We want you to stop killing people. Sod off we are at war and there's nothing you can do and America is on our side. Suddenly countries and people will realise...

A lot of fuss is being made whether parades should be held in support of Palestine during the period of Armistice day November 11. or Remembrance Sunday two weeks later. The argument goes it would be an injustice to the memory of those who lost their lives during the two world wars. The strange thin...

In his witness statement, he said Mr Hancock thought he, not doctors or the public, should decide who to prioritise if hospitals became overwhelmed. Sir Simon said: "Fortunately this horrible dilemma never crystallised." So already we have AL Boris Johnson and AL Matt Hancock deciding if ...

I see that the leaders of Burnley and Pendle Councils are 'calling for' the resignation of the leader of the Labour party Keir Starmer, for failing to 'call for' a cease fire in Gaza. Ceasefires are similar to a peace treatise. The two sides only enter into them when both sides know the can't win. ...

Help Required. Sometimes its prudent to ask for help before you collapse under the tasks ahead. In my case my health and hospital appointment are putting an increasing load on Mrs P. We are looking for someone to do some light domestic cleaning for us at times and rates that can fit within normal ho...

Why I remembered this I'll never know. It would probably be banned from the BBC immediately but went down well at the Carton Club in Burnley some years ago.

Just signed up for the fixed Octopus deal at £245 per month.Yes its expensive and its a big house but can anyone tell me which way the energy market is going when we have the rip off merchants in charge?

Not outside I discover - in the public gallery, wisely behind the bullet proof shield. House empty - public gallery crammed. Net result of the 'debate' nothing - just the fact that it is all 'on the record' via Hansard - Trend in Excess Deaths now which is a good thing. I came across this site yest...

Not Sure.

This is not a joke. Over the last few months I've lost about 20 lb. Finished up at 141 lb. Eyes sunk, face drawn with no cheeks, looked absolutely terrible, (still do). My doctor came to see me. I commented on how I would appear to other people. Never mind you'll be OK for Halloween.

Some years ago when My established doctor retired I was allocated another one who was new to the practice, At first this didn't make any difference since I rarely used the service. Unfortunately after Covid-19 he disappeared into the woodwork and in my mind became Dr Griffin from H G Wells the invis...

Perhaps what confuses the issue is that 'Hamas' is an elected government of the Palestinians. Its foundation is basically religious and starting as a charity which moved to politics with a military wing with the right to protect its own country. In some respects its no different to the Israel govern...

Called at Colne Richmond Hill practice hoping to see the Doctor who has been giving me excellent service for the past 4 months. Not at work that day this didn't surprise me since it was a long shot emergency, for me anyway. So with any port in a storm I offered up my new problem to what was describe...

I thought I would buy some thin plastic sheet to protect the lower wall paper for when the plasterer man arrives. £1 per sheet from Screwfix. Tried to order 10 sheets. Sorry nearest collection point is Skipton 14 miles away. The diesel would be far more expensive than the sheeting. Rang our local wa...

I can't see any problems cancelling one very expensive promise for several other lightweight promises some of which have already been promised these become double cast iron promises. What could go wrong? Rumour has it that Manchester is to get a new block of stables to house hundreds of donkeys this...

Off to Burnley today for an Echo scan on my heart. This is part of the Blackburn team that uses the Burnley cardiology outpatients to make life easier for those who live a distance away from Blackburn. This scan is a check up is to see if everything is tickety-boo since they discharged me over a mon...

John Campbell, a YouTuber whose posts get millions of views, has made claims about excess deaths and the covid-19 vaccine. We show why he's incorrect I have always thought that this study was faulty. It was done by some 'Unknown' person who compared those who were vaccinated against those who weren...

All eyes are on HS2. Will he, won't he. The fall back is 'leveling up' a sound bite that means anything you want it to mean, Alice in Wonderland and Humpty Dumpty stuff. Nobody knows what it means so its a convenient phrase to use when your backs against the wall. Clearly our health minister Steven ...

Don't turn into an anti-science conspiracy theorist! Here's the latest update on the Oxford malaria vaccine. They were working on this but then had to postpone it while they developed the covid vaccine... `Malaria vaccine big advance against major child killer' LINK I'm not against new developments...

All this huffing and puffing about HS2 makes me think that the decision to delay has already been made but is being used as a smokescreen as to why they can't pay the doctors / nurses etc the wages they deserve. Here we have the Conservative party who for years have been bragging they are 'good with...

I have used bleach to kill the moss on the drive but most supermarket bleaches are below 2% which is useless for the task. The thick bleaches are the same strength as the thin bleaches but with a thickening agent but equally useless.

This good news came out a couple of days ago while we were on holiday. The report in The Times said that they expect to able to extend the idea to treating other cancers.... `Prostate cancer trial: Radiotherapy doses can be cut safely' BBC I was advised not to go down the surgical route even though...
