just as it is, lady said a specific doc (one I cant stand) so I just said "you got any other ones? as that one isint very nice and unprofessional," short pause and she named another one which my mum and loads of other people have put forward complaints and I said "not that one because I heard hes an idiot" receptionist remains professional and says nothing then suggests me a third doc who was from pakistan, immidiatly agreed with this one and he was very good

had a blood pressure test with the first idiot doc and it was sky high, had the same blood pressure test with the foreign and it was really low and "normal"

I'm wondering did you get the world's most understanding receptionist (or one with a grudge/understanding), are Scottish hospitals a bit more 'upfront' in general, or...

Fernando Torres value £50 million is now "worth" more than the cost of Aresnals football team. :o :shock: :shock: :shock:

Quote:
The whole Arsenal team cost less than Torres!
Arsenal’s last Barclays Premier League starting XI beat Wigan 10 days ago 3-0 at the Emirates. It cost £41.7million.
Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny came through the youth system, as did Jack Wilshere, Johan Djourou and Cesc Fabregas.

Wenger paid money for Sami Nasri (£15million), Laurent Koscielny (£9.75m), Theo Walcott (£7m), Bakari Sagna (£6m), Robin Van Persie (£2.75m) and Gael Clichy (£250,000).

Probably because he lived in England for 40 years. So a sort of naturalized "brit/english" :D

I think it was that and the fact he was eccentric, foreign, and definitely not normal ;)

You can buy a confession app from iTunes store, approved by the catholic church. :lol:

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

A small asteroid swooped within 7,366 miles of Earth on Feb. 4 — today — at 2:40 p.m. EST [19:40 UT].

The object, called 2011 CQ1, was discovered earlier today by astronomer Richard Kowalski using a 0.68-meter telescope near Mount Bigelow outside of Tuscon, Arizona as part of the Catalina Sky Survey’s routine scanning of the skies for small objects that come close to Earth.

2011 CQ1 is tiny by asteroid standards, only about 6.5 to 10 feet across. But though it is small, it will be close. The last asteroid to come within moon-distance to Earth, 2010 TD54, stayed a chaste 27,960 miles away at its closest approach Oct. 12 — more than three times the distance to 2011 CQ1.

The asteroid is not on a collision course with Earth, but it will come well within the so-called Clarke Belt where satellites in geosynchronous orbit hang out.

Although the daytime skies are too bright to see the new object in the US, 2011 CQ1 will be visible for a few hours in dark skies, according to Ernesto Guido and Giovanni Sostero of Remanzacco Observatory in Italy. If you’re under those dark skies and catch a photo of this new object, send us your best shots.
