It seems like the GPs will definitely have their snouts in the trough when it comes to vaccinations. According to the news they will be getting nearly 8 quid to administer each injection, which amounts to a pay rise of £27,000! I didn't think they were qualified and had to get the practice nurses to do that job? ::)

Reminds me of when (definitely not PC) Seamus was trying to explain to Mick the way traffic lights work. Well, he said, when the red light is on communists can go trhough; and when the green light is on, us good people can go threough. Mick thought on this for a while and said: them b'd orange men don't get long do they?

They had to have handbags, Robin... everyone knows you cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.......

I thought everyone was aware that quite some years ago, a bunch of industrial chemists in the US figured out a way to convert pigs' ears into an artificial silk, made a batch, and had a purse crocheted from the results. Their object, the falsification of that old saw.

Better living through chemisty indeed!

I don't know, you wave goodbye to your wife as she takes the kids home to 'visit relatives' in Slovakia for a couple of weeks, and the next thing you know she's posting pics on her facebook page showing her obviously in some kind of Slovak Special Forces training camp! I knew there was something odd about that woman the day I met her!

Actually, looking at my profile pic along with this pic of Ivi, we're probably in deep doo-doo if the security services do see this. I wonder if they serve free lunches on U.S. special rendition flights?

I wouldn't worry to much about the security forces Martin, it's that bloke Bertram Anderson she's seeing on the sly! ;D
