Don't get it. My elder brother and sister all told me that I would feel like shat after the jab and warned me against any more self-medication with drink and said that I would be hitting the paracetamol in a big way. Not sure what to make of it because I feel absolutely fine. Maybe being pre-smashed up is the answer. I haven't cycled today because everyone told me not to and my arm would hurt like feck by now. Mine doesn't. My left leg does, but then that is normal as it has steel rods in it. Happily confused... And my plan remains the same after another day and the Connie jab. Keep Ducatis and and add Aprilia to the collection. So still all Italian. Apparently BMW use Chinese built engines in the models that I was considering. A mate kept on about shaft drive and BMW rubber band drive. Feck all that. I'm staying with chain drive where I can play with the gearing as this will just be for fun. It was going to be for wheelie practice as well, but given that I can't risk offs by doing any more track days then wheelieing would probably be a bit stupid.
Bull. The NHS is fecking brilliant. I had 10 hours of surgery with nobody going through my stuff to see if I could afford to pay. They just did it because I needed it. My jab today was just a walkthrough and I only stopped once just to be jabbed. Nobody had to rifle through my wallet to see if I was insured, or could afford it. I'd rather my taxes and NI go to Doctors, Nurses, and hospitals rather than paying suits in offices to empty my bank account.
Had the Oxford stabbing tonight - felt a tad strange for a short period afterwards but its been a stressful week so put it down to that. But hats off to the NHS - straight in and out, no time for a quick spin around the velodrome!
I wonder how positive your experience will be should you ever have to pay the kinds of medical fees they have to pay in the USA.
Sorry to hear that....and you think that whatever issue that it was would have been solved by paying cash? Please, please do not come back with saying that it would of all been made better with your insurance company involved. I know for a fact (for I experience it every day) that insurance companies will do anything (legal or illegal, for it does not matter to them) to not pay out (unless it is a dividend to share holders). The insurance company that I am dealing with (Hastings) would rather eat their own vomit than admit any liability whatsoever (even though the driver always admitted fault and was prosecuted). After my accident and finding out that I would need 10 hours of surgery with a team of experts and then months of hospital recovery, having my future decided by a suit doesn't really fill me with any opposition to the NHS or need for private health insurance.
If you can point me to the drop in centre where I can pay privately for a jab within these shores. Apologies but I’m not reading the rest of your waffle on your experience of Hastings you’ve flogged that horse until it died.
I didn’t say you would/should visit the USA. However you did say you want the nhs to be privatised. So the point I was making is that should the nhs be privatised then medical services will cost much the same as they do in the USA. But you knew that.
Given from what I’ve read you can’t procure in the U.K. the AZ jab privately I can’t, given it’s taken 2 weeks for the NHS to not give me the jab either then neither option is viable.
I’ll qualify the private healthcare for you. It’s my belief that the NHS should be run by private companies not that we as a population buy our own private healthcare.
