Funny how an asset seizure, liquidation and taxation investigations can put a dampener on gold digging... I mean romance.

I doesn't stop those whores at Carlscum taking his (or more importantly his creditors ) money. I also find it disturbing that she has 7500 followers on Instagram. Surely Rupert doesn't employ that many social editors.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

And...........last one for the evening making TP's mission a pain.

I'm going to do that one night when I'm drunk at 3am and write the same thing in every thread.

I don't know what that is yet but I'll figure it out when I'm drunk and it won't take me any extra time at all cos my hand eye coordination wont be at all impaired.

Loved the always acute Rohan Connolly's comment: See, these are the sort of mismatches you end up with when you let the cricket minnows play against the best.

So, sitting the the ED at the Austin Hospital today, you get chatting to people.

The Austin has quite a good setup, they have an after hours GP clinic right near the ED to take the non urgent traffic. This means that people aren't waiting 6 hours to get seen or leaving while the more acute cases roll through.

You still go through the ED and get triaged first so they can make the call as to which path you take.

So I went in having sliced into my finger big time. Saw the traige clerk then went straight to a nurse who unwrapped the tea towel on my hand, (after laying down the appropriate protection) looked and headed off to get some supplies. What he hadn't counted on was that I'd been keeping pressure on the wound on the way in, so once he unwrapped it, it took about 10 seconds before it started pissing out blood again.

So he gives it a wipe down, realises its a tad deep and a lot bleeding,
and whatever initial plan he had wasn't going to work, and wraps it back up and off I go to the GP clinic.

With me were an IT guy who injured his wrist trying to replace the rubber on his spear gun and a young lady who got kicked in the hand by a horse.

So after a while, and having determined that there was no nerve or tendon damage, the doc was able to patch it up using a metric **** of steri strips rather than stitches, whack a waterproof skin over it and wrap it up like a mummy for a couple a days.
