So who's the bigger threat? The EU or the US?

We can pull out of the Eu. Unfortunately we're stuck wit the yanks, they wont want off the gravy river.

Well Reg, it certainly won't be Cameron and Gideon Osborne doing any reformation - they will just go along with whatever France and Germany want to do!!

I'm confused. I thought they did whatever the US wanted.

Doesn't much of the EU want to shy away from TTIP - If we vote out it won't be Cameron or Osbourne doing anything as they will be ousted sharpish, it will likely be the opportunist (and USA passport holding) Johnson and either Gove or IDS who will be leading on negotiations, just think in 12 months we could have a US led by Trump, a UK led by Johnson and his lieutenants and an opposition led by Corbyn - now that is scaremongering!

The NHS.

So many managers yet they fail to have an anaesthetist turn up for my operation in the BRI yesterday 4 weeks after the appointment was made....wasted 2 hour, 60 miles each way trip as well as 4 hours in the waiting area only for it to be rescheduled at a later date due to mismanagement.

That's not good.

I have had a lot of dealing with the NHS in the last 12 months, like all big organisations when it is good its very good but often it can be woefully bad!

Twisted my ankle earlier. TWICE. I can assure you that twisting an ankle that was already twisted just 10 minutes or so earlier smarts somewhat. Now I have an ankle swelling up like a tennis ball and am hobbling about the place as though I've been, well, hobbled.

I only went out to get some milk FFS!

PEOPLE WHO SHOUT INSTEAD OF TALK IN A PUBLIC PLACE.
There are only 2 reasons people legitimately shout everything they say, 1) they're deaf or 2) they're profoundly mentally ill. If you're neither of those, SHUT THE FUCK UP

Of more concern to me is the problem of people seemingly talking to themselves whilst walking along, because they're on some hands free thing.

It used to be the case when you saw and heard someone taikng to themselves....you'd think, looney and make the necessary adjustments. Now you can't tell looneys apart from cunts who just like the sound of their own voices.

Ha that is annoying, although less egregious from the perpetrator. The worst is when they say "how are you?" Or something and you say "fine thanks" before you realise they weren't talking to you. At least if you wave at the wrong person you can pretend you were scratching your head or something.

I'm currently in a hospital waiting room and there's Jeremy Kyle on the fucking telly.
Surely most people in hospital waiting rooms are going through enough trauma? Put CBeebies on or something. Or nothing at all.

Boilers been playing up recently, has someone look at it today and it turns out its buggered. Repair will be circa £750-£1000 which they can't guarantee will last any more than 2-5 years at best or a new one circa £1500. Not what i wanted to hear

I've had 2 fail in 7 years at a cost of 4 grand in total.  Look on the plus side though, it's summer, both of mine failed in December.
