Bullies

I have been subjected to bullying both at school and at the workplace. Now that I have blog friends and one of them has suffered at the hands of a bully too. That bully is now leaving comments here as a troll named Bullshit spotter. He is the workplace bully of my friend who has a blog link to my blog on his page. This guy is so stupid as to log in from his work computer and now I have the information I shall be informing the police.

So you are anonymous no longer. You use Tiscali at home.

Edit: You are Frank Lunt from the Wirral

More Trainees in Australia Soon

MTAS, and now Sian Lloyd in yesterday's Sunday Times pontificating about how competition is good for the NHS.

What utter bollocks 9000 jobs and 23000 people competing for them? I can guess that at least half will emigrate, causing a fabulous waste of money again.

I haven't heard that line since Virginia Bottomley was in power. You remember her don't you She was the one who brought in the purchaser provider split. What a farce that was.

New Zealand however took it to heart and made primary care private such that people there have to pay $40 NZ to see their GP.

Unsurprising then that common conditions are not being diagnosed early as people don't go to their GP because it costs and poor people even less so when welfare there is only 130$ a week.

Not something they tell the emigrés from here. Something they find out when they go and register.

Facebook and Henry North London

I have now caught up with the younger generation and developed an application on Facebook so that you can read my blog there and be informed when it updates by adding it to your profile

The Times has no knowledge of Red flowers


In today's Saturday Times there is a piece about Luc O'Donnell arriving at his father's funeral with a red rose. Well forgive me for saying this but it looks awfully like a carnation to me.

Have the journalists no eyesight or did the editor not see this one?


Edit: January 6th I seem to have upset a few people over on the Times site
Someone got there before me but I'll say my piece anyway - what a moronic contribution Henry makes. Whether he's joking on simply an flora-obsessive I don't know why he bothered making such a ridiculously trivial comment. With that out the way, I think it's an awful, awful story and feel huge sadness and empathy for his family. It was great that so many people turned out to celebrate his life.

Sophie, Manchester,

Moronic comment from Henry in the corner... I really don't know why he found it necessary to say anything. Either he was joking or he's a flora-fanatic. Or an idiot. Regardless of his ridiculous trivialising, I find the story terribly sad and feel huge empathy for O'Donnell's family.

Sophie, Manchester,

Henry North of London - 4 young children have tragically lost a loving father - what does it matter if the name of the flower is incorrect?

Angela, Merseyside,

Sure enough the story is sad and tragic I dont deny it but to have such a resounding mistake on a broadsheet paper is well; bad journalism
