Pootube surely.

"Of you have any further questions"?

That feeling when you begin to question the attention to detail of the place where you're about to be operated on...

It's fine, there's no way they'll accidentally castrate you.....

To be fair, English ismt the first language in Holland.

As long as I don't end up as Alexander the Great's chief eunuch then it will all be fine!

Must come in handy when you run out of bog roll.

Jesus Christ guys praise the NHS and if anyone suggests ‘management restructures’ or whatever just strawberry floating punch them in the throat for me.

Spent three hours on the phone today with a (very helpful and totally blameless) dude just trying to figure out if anyone can give me a strawberry floating solid answer on what my surgery next week will cost. Now I’m in a very complex position for various reasons that I don’t wanna bore you with but next Saturday could genuinely cost me anything between £150 and £22k. And no one can give me a strawberry floating answer.

Private healthcare lads, capitalism makes everything so much more efficient.

Jesus! you in HongKong arent you? I would always hope Private would cover the big stuff if I ever needed to call on it.

It's why we all stand on our doorsteps and clap every Thursday at 8, without fail

Yea but the issue is that I’ve moved jobs, even though I’m insured under the same policy but under a new employer, which carries over. So the person paying for my healthcare has changed, even though the policy hasn’t, and they’re arguing that the medical issue that arose last year (whilst covered by the same insurer but a different employer paying for it) and now the needed surgery (covered by the SAME strawberry floating INSURER ON THE SAME POLICY but paid for by a new employer) technically comes under two different policies which technically makes it a pre existing condition.

From them. To them. By them.

This is a very sensible system and I will make sure my next MP supports privatisation.

Ack, who needs savings anyway?

Apart from me, who was on the loo and reading a book at the time.

I’m having a complete ‘mare with the NHS at the minute. It’s a huge, bloated multi-tentacled mess of a monster. Had to self-refer myself eventually, 3 hospitals and their subsequent NHS trusts didn’t have a clue. A sprawling disorganised mess.

I think the main interview is fake.

He's a YouTuber:

Still funny though!

I think Ad7 and Jenuall should work for Fullfact, we'd never be able to tell what's real without them.

Meant to be driving to Pembrokeshire for hollibobs this afternoon. Just checked the traffic report LOL

Going to depart tomorrow morning now.
