Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Just had 2 sonic booms over the house - according to FB and Twitter, they've been heard in Doncaster, Harrogate, and all points between.
We thought there had been explosions locally, as the windows all rattled and the house shook - everyone on the street came out to see what was happening.
Apparently it was the QRA Typhoons from RAF Coningsby - probably gone to say hello to a sneaky Ivan...
Update - they went to intercept a Paris to Newcastle flight that went off course.

Intercept is a better word than "help" which I keep hearing on the news

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Because of my leg problems I've got to be fully reassessed before I can go back on the transplant list and I need to have a fistula fitted on my arm......
Being a tad needle phobic I am not looking forward to this at all
Still at least I'm still here to bitch/moan about these things

Sorry to hear this Dilli, I don't think many people would put up with all you've been through without having a damned good moan about it and worse. It's easy to get bogged down with relatively trivial issues/problems and maybe lose sight of the fact that many people have things far harder and don't give up. Have some marmite matey!

Yes l remember going to our local hospital about a year ago with my partner and our friend and they had to put three cannula's into my hand as they could not get a approapiate vein and our friend was close to nearly fainting while it was all happening so yes its certainly not very nice dilli.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Not really a moan or pet hate but more of what can I do to when I see a loved one grieve and the answer is nothing, I don't think I have ever felt so helpless in my life.
I wish I had a magic wand to remove the pain and heartache they are feeling atm.
It's hurting me seeing them hurt so much.

Although painful to watch, the grieving is a vital part of the healing process following bereavement. The best thing is just to be there as and when they need you.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
It is a painful thing to greave for someone. The hurt is unbearable, but we can only carry on and wait for the pain to ease off, You just have to be there beside them to help, I was in a terrible black place when I lost my Gran, who brought me up, I played sad music all day when the family was out at work. It helped me get through the day, You never get over the loss, but you can start to think of the happy times as well as the sad, That was 1977 I still cry for her,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
FGW time keeping. Late into Westbury from Exeter today by 5 minutes. Had the linking connection been on time I would have missed it. Didn't help that the announcement on the train specified the wrong platform for the service.
Luckily (?) the connected service was late by 15 minutes but the platform mixup antics on other services were quite sublime.

They need to take some lessons from Southern region: Clean roomy electric trains arriving on the split second. And decent announcement and messaging systems. I guess we're just spoilt.

As those on the union left would have back: Dirty stinking slam door trains, fictional time tables and bolshie couldn't care less staff on strike at every opportunity.
