There was an article about a water diviner in the local rag 'ere tother day. He reckoned he couldn't just find it but also work out how deep it was.:stars::stars::stars::stars: I won't tell you how he did that, cos you'd hurt yourselves laughing!!

But my ex s-i-l can do it, very handy when you are a builder. And he is the least beirdy-weirdy bloke you could ever meet.
He don't use a hazel y-shaped twig. He uses two wall ties bent at a right angle.
A friend I worked with used 2 biro outers and welding rod bent to an "L" shape. He said it was just a case of walking around the field/place and you'd feel something tugging and the 2 freely swinging rods would cross-over. Never tried it myself.
 
Steaming furious.
Having heard nothing from anyone either at outpatients or my practice, econsulted them this a.m. to ask what progress was being made.
wife missed a call from "No caller ID" so rang the practice. she said "The doctor says he is waiting for paperwork", double take from me, "but I sent you what he asked for, by email as soon as it was asked for bu yourselves and gave her the date and time, a week ago.
The female finds it and airily said "Oh yes, it has been sitting in the inbox, I'll send it over"

Ye gods and little fishes!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

So I sent them another eConsult asking "Do I have to follow up every blasted email with a phone call so your gormless, flipping wimmins actually carry out the requested tasks? This is cancer for God's sake!"

Doubt it'll make any difference.:mad::mad::mad:

Just heard three hillwalkers found dead in Glencoe, You must be havin some dodgy weather up there @kevstar . :eek: :eek:
That's not good, people forget how unforgiving it can be up there especially near Rannoch.
I know someone went up Ben Nevis and as they were up the summit someone walked up in flip flops carrying a guitar and almost went sliding down the North face. šŸ˜’

Well, there a few endurance athletes who specialise in activities like barefoot hill running. I've seen some in Wales. But I take it the man in question was not one of these.

I know this sounds like a silly question, but if you don't need one why are you making an appointment? Is it in case you're ill later? Maybe I shoud try and get some in the diary early, for when I'm in my 80s in the 2040s.

They've sent me a text to tell me they want to increase my medication, i want to stop taking meds completely, so I've made an appointment.
I don't want a phone call because I'll get fobbed off, I'm no good on the phone
