    Daktarin oral thrush cream, available over the counter. Sounds like thrush, won’t do any harm if it isn’t. If it isn’t, turn off the internet until he goes.

    It used to be the case that over 7 days it stopped being an injury and became an illness (from nhs 111 perspective at least). Maybe give 111 a ring and see what they recommend as they will have the inclusion criteria for the local miu/ wic etc

    SPOILER of sorts!

    If you pause it on the scene where Sam is reading the book about dragon glass, you too can read the book… it has some answers and interesting implications.

    Is it a bkd (140) engine? Egr is at the front, easy enough to remove and have a good look at, it’ll be pretty gummed up even if it’s not the problem, the Cost of removing and cleaning is minimal (brake cleaner shifts it)

    3rd hand reviews I’ve heard suggest it’s snake oil, my thoughts are if it was any good it would be well known to be and offered by dealers/ garages etc. Dpf is easy to clog, a forced regent might fix it or a good thrash on the motorway, but if it’s already in limp mode it might be a bit late. He other issues I’m not sure about.

    Quite private people who enjoy the “dangerous” reputation to keep other trouble makers away. Their traditional way of life is increasingly being legislated against and increasingly it’s only the tough/bad families that survive. I’ve known a few travelers of Romany and Irish origin, who were awesome people, but sadly the negative stereotypes are what people tend to recognise

    simple. Shop them to the police, police put a marker on the car and keep an eye out, this might achieve nothing. or, they pull them over and breathalyse them, they might be clear, but this might put the frighteners on them to stop drinking and driving, or they blow positive, in which case the police have caught a criminal and they face the repercussions of their crime.

    I met mr hunt once, he was nice, he shook my hand and told me that I was doing “vital, essential, important work”. That’s why I quit the CQC, if Hunt thinks you’re doing a good job, you’ve clearly become something quite monstrous, and that monster goes against the values and ideals that I thought were my core. I do miss getting paid loads and doing nothing though.

    I was a governor. Every meeting was a celebratory circle jerk followed by achieving nothing. In the run up to ofstead I made suggestions (given that I was a cqc inspector following the Same model as ofstead and had been involved in joint cqc/ofstead inspections). They didn’t like new ideas and decided to carry on doing nothing about it instead. It’s an ok school and the head teacher basically does it all as the pta and governors are a waste of space!

    Spend on lenses not bodies.. Marketing sells bodies, my Nikon D90 is years old, still more than adequate for most needs. Lenses are quality can be moved from body to body

    I’m getting targetted conservative advertising. I”m a labour party member? For the record I don’t think Corbyn is a strong leader, but maybe the time for strong leaders is over, after all, no one can deny Trump is a strong leader!

    Kaiser Chiefs, the biggest average band ever! My dad was a big Runrig fan and I remember going to see them a few times. They weren’t bad, just not particuarly great. I think the singer left to be a MSP?

    one thing i learnt as a young ‘un on bmx, is that as a young ‘un, most “Proper” bmx’s were too heavy to do any tricks on. My old found in the canal burner was light and I could really through it around. When i traded up to a Powerlight PFS2, it was too heavy, i could barely hop it and found jumping much harder.

    its not cool, but an 18 inch wheel’d race bmx will be more usable

    with respect to Atlaz’s grandfather, in 1944, we didn’t have the internet, newspapers didn’t, or very rarely had pictures in them, soldiers were young and hadn’t spent several years touring all the facilities available to military commanders of the day. With this in mind, it is totally feasible that they had never seen, or considered the existence of tanks.

    Enjoyed it, but I think the cut was too harsh, would be better as a mini series?

    the thing about bhp readings is it doesn’t tell you what its like to drive. My Touran is 185bhp. 0-45 is startling quick (once you get it on boost), then its a bit gutless to 70mph, then it pulls really well up license losing territory (on a track, obviously). So big number for the top trumps, but practical usage is limited. The bluemotion engines are pleasantly sprighlty with a driving strategy of get up to speed and stay there.

    a few lakes near me rent the kit as well. I had a session in north yorks, all kit provided, good guidance etc.

    I never catch much, but its still fun. weirdly meditative moving slowly, watching the water, casting as gently as possible and then when you get a fight on it comes as quite a shock!

    I have a limited company (cost £15) and a business bank account (free for 12 months then £5 a month) initially set up for some contracting work that fell through, I do a little consulting on the side so keep it running. I like being able to get trade cards and as you say, expenses can be put through company, but it’s getting stricter so document everything and only claim what you use and can prove is business use. It’s easy to be “a bit naughty” and very hard to pay back when they come knocking (or write to you!)

    Probably a toss up between “I’ve either got a dvt or I’ve slept funny” in a&e, I’d slept funny. Or “basically my ex girlfriends ex boyfriends ex girlfriend has moved in with me and she has herpes and I need to check if I’m in the clear” fortunately I was.

    the hand rails and lifts thing is weirdly sensible. it seems obvious, but a little thing can make a huge difference. There is a sign in the lift at my old work asking staff and service users to refrain from defecating in the lift.

    we had ours serviced as it was just out of warranty. £130 lighter I wish we’d just bought a new one! Our dyson hpwever that we inherited with the house as a broken vacuum, is easy to fix and parts easy to find at the tip!

    My eldest is called Edward. The registrar asked us “how are you spelling that”? I couldn’t think of a different way, but he said you’d be amazed at the crap people try. He could make suggestions, but unless it was offensive he had to go with it!

    One of my wolfsburg centre caps fell off yesterday when washing the car. Not that bigger deal, I’ll sort it in the week.

    Went to a car show today, parked next to two very nice cars, now my car is all over the “scene” pictures and maybe a magazine with a centre cap missing!

    But what about heir human rights? They need to be able to drive to get to work/see family/ go to the drive through? Why should they have to maintain a safe standard to do that? It’s bad enough we have to have an mot yearly to prove the car is safe to be on the road!

    I’m a paramedic in Yorkshire. Unless he has a nice A4 document with a red border (not a photocopy) he’s getting resuscitated (if it came to that).

    There is a case for assigning dnar to patients in cases of medical futility, but it should be discussed openly with patients and their families. Check with gp on Tuesday, it’ll be fine.

    Pay rises are nice, but not the answer. To my
    Mind the answer is spendIng more money ON the staff. I’m an nhs manager (who also works clinically in a different trust.) there is no money to support my team in training or development. If they pay for training or development to take place, then it is in their time as we have no money to cover gaps in Rotas. When opportunity to step up is there, there is no money or support to encourage that, it’s just expected (my boss is leaving next week, the replacement arrives in about 3 months, I’m expected to do 2 jobs for that time period, I will not be offered any salary increase or training to manage these roles. I’d like to develop one of my team leaders to do more day to day management, but her pay band prevents that, and as she is at the top of her band there is no point training her. She will soon leave and we’ll lose all her expertise and knowledge.

    There is no flexibility in the service and staff are starting to get better offers, leading to the staffing crisis we now have. It’s getting like a football team, if you’re good, you leave, the new players take a while to develop and bond with the team, management changes every 6 months and we’re only 3 and games away from relegation.

    A saniflow macerator.

    Now, a hateful machine that chews poo, and then tries to blow it through a small diameter pump might not sound like a great find, and a second hand one even less so. However, my house has three of these stupid things, they love to break, causing, at best some localised “flooding”. I now have a spare, which saves me nearly £400 next time one breaks, so i count that as a win.

    I worked for oxfam and found a damaged hardback book in the “unsaleable, for recycling” bin. The covers were leather over wood, it was a collection of British railway maps. Sold for £1200.

    I made good money and lost good money. I treated as an education in something that I didn’t understand but was interested in, put £1300 into it, willing to lose £300. Most of my trades were on oil as that moves quite fast or silver/gold which is slower. I generally set my limit at $50 (so can’t lose more but can’t gain more either). Like others say, it’s gambling, it’s interesting, can be fun and don’t gamble
    More than you can afford to lose.

    Normal, they’re a bit rough when cold. Regular servicing is smart though, 20k is quite a lot!
