http://beardedgit.com Has he peaked too early? Is he over the top, or just over the hill? Who can say?

It all looks genuine and official, very slick. I wonder how many folk fall for it.

"To compete on English soil, we train on Argentine soil." link If they're intent on stirring up trouble again they could at least get their facts right... NOT English... NOT Argentine... BRITISH. BY CHOICE.

Wednesday was supposed to be grim all day all over the UK according to some sources. Not exactly the best weather for the journey home but it had to be done. Was it grim in the Lakes? Hardly...   Wrynose Pass from Hardknott Roman Fort (Mediobogdum).   The Granaries.   An airy platform overlooking the [...]

Tuesday was forecast to be a terrible day for family hill-walking - there would be county-wide driven rain and snow, icy strong winds and poor visibility even at valley-levels. Folk were being warned off the fells regardless of their ability and levels of equipment. Eskdale had decided to exempt itself from all that as the [...]

It was a dull and damp Easter Sunday afternoon when we arrived at YHA Eskdale and met up with the Maynes...   YHA Eskdale.   The optimistic BBQ area.   The weather forecasts for the next few days were grim - storms, high winds and snow - but we were determined to make the best [...]

Well, I went for that follow-up consultation on Friday 2nd March. After the obligatory greasy-finger insertion I was told that must have a "flexible sigmoidoscopy" within two weeks and the consultant marked the ensuing paperwork to reflect that requirement. Needless to say, it didn't happen - after two weeks without said appointment I phoned the [...]

Had a few days pottering around Eskdale. It'll take me a while to sort the pics and the report. In the meantime, I'll leave you to ponder the logic of this:

I suppose it's a matter of taste, but I'll be reviewing my policy on foreign foods...     Thanks to Geoff for the pic.

I'll assume that you know the "Ernie" tune...   You could hear his bubbles pound as they raced above the lounge,And the clatter of his fan as it spun 'round and 'round.And he gurgled in the attic, his badge upon his chest,His name was Halstead, and he filled the hottest bath-tub in the west. Now [...]

Due to cut-backs at the Met Office there will be no weather today...

At long last I've got me a follow-up consultation:     Maybe I should send a reply? I was thinking of something along the lines of: "The patient will not always see the consultant (or his proxy) personally, the patient may send one of his mates from down the pub."
