TICTH myself, for agreeing to "it's only a test system, we don't need to back up this table". Grrrr. It's a test system and we're trying to figure out what to do, so we're *especially* likely to blow out all the records in the table by accident.
I'm an idiot.
(We think we're going to recover by copying down another copy from Production, but I'm still an idiot...)

TICTH the mail order pharmacy my insurance company runs. Not only have they been sitting on my prescription for a week despite having their issues cleared up once, but they always have a long phone wait while a voice repeatedly thanks for my patience during their unusually high call volumes. That will be playing nonstop for eternity in their circle of hell.

TICTH Police Scotland for shattering my illusions about police procedure.
Two weeks ago, overnight, some toerag(s) came into our back garden, went into our (unlocked) garage and nicked a bike, plus a bottle of Lambrini we'd won on a bottle stall. I reported it to the police mostly in the hope that the bike would be abandoned somewhere, end up in lost property and we'd get it back.
This week, overnight, a near neighbour had some toe-rag(s) go into her back garden, go into her (unlocked) garage and steal two bikes.
The police are investigating the latter, but they can't link the two because they happened 14 days apart.
The police have explained to me that they can't link the overnight theft of a bike from an unlocked garage with the overnight theft of two bikes from an unlocked garage in any way, shape or form, because they happened 2 weeks apart, and if the police went around linking crimes with similar modus operandi, they'd be swamped. Plus, a crime in Quiet Street, Small Village, North East Scotland on 1 May can't be connected with a crime in Quiet Street, Small Village, North East Scotland on 14 May because, in the fast moving world of village street names, they might not be the same place.
WTF? I'm not that bothered by the loss of the bike, and positively grateful for the theft of the Lambrini, but seriously? Police can't link crimes if they happen 2 weeks apart??
I read crime novels and fictional police link apparently separate crimes all the time. And fictional police link current crimes to cold cases and all manner of clever things.
But in real life, there's a 14 day rule. I may never read crime fiction in the same light again.
(Also, because this is a small village, and rife with gossip, everyone knows the most likely suspect for the thefts, except the police who are entirely mystified.)

Oh, no, nothing like that at all. It's a teenager who was caught in the back garden of my next-door-neighbour-but-one two nights before our bike was nicked. Apparently he was showing off to a girlfriend.
I thought he'd woo'ed said girlfriend with the Lambrini he nicked from us, and would cycle about a bit on the stolen bike, then abandon it - which is why I reported it to the Police. I thought it would turn up in Lost Property. But it hasn't. Also, we had three bikes in the garage, two of which were pretty worthless, and he nicked one of the worthless ones. Which suggests it's more likely to have been a daft laddie than a hardened criminal.
I've been more bothered by the Police explaining that they don't link identical thefts if they happen 14 days apart than by the theft itself. I don't know if the police person just wasn't explaining very well, or if they really do think that they'd be "swamped" with work if they started making connections.

Surely if it was two murders, two weeks apart next door to each other with similar modus, they couldn't NOT link them?

You clearly need the help of ether PC Plum from Balamory and/or Hamish MacBeth from Lochdubh.
Mind you, they might not want to move to the East Coast - much too dry.
Perhaps you should bring Logan McCrae up from Aberdeen although he is probably much too "big city" for a rural community such as years. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Courier companies. It has been out out at the depot for delivery. The courier has received it. I am stuck at home in limbo. I cannot find where said depot is. It might be West Thurrock. It might be Maidstone. It might be somewhere totally different. If I knew I was near it, I would expect either an early, or a very late delivery. If I knew I was near the courier's home, I would expect a late delivery. If it is WT or M, I can expect sort of middle of the dayish, but they can't let me know, can they? I am the one who takes in everyone else's deliveries. Everyone else is out.
Bah. am or pm would help. Have helped. The clock strikes 12.

TICTH and oblivion the British National Party.
If anyone thought the LibDems had done badly they ought to look at your performance. In 2009 over 940,000 (6.3%) voted for you but this time out a mere 168,000 (1.16%).
If you add that to the fall in the LibDem vote you get, as near as dammit, the UKIP gain.
Is UKIP's gain a combination of a new home for the (traditionally LibDem) "protest vote" plus a slightly more respectable one for the racist vote? It's a bloody weird mixture: home-made sandals and beards meet bovver boots and shaved heads.

I have been under the care of the community mental health team for about seven years now. On the whole they've supported me well and kept me out of hospital.
Today I saw the new psychiatrist. She told me she wanted to discharge me. I asked her why in that my mentalness has not decreased significantly in recent years and they have noted that the next year is going to be a very difficult one for me and liable to make me quite ill.
Her response - 'because then you'll be under someone else's budget.'
Clearly all the bollocks about patient centred care is just that. They just want to offload those of us that cost money so they can pick and choose cheap patients that are easy to deal with. Instead I am clearly a drain on tax payers money and should just be taken out and shot so then I'll be on nobody's budget and everyone will be happy.

Indeed.
Out of the blue, my son's MH clinic of ten years sent him a letter that said, "We are dismissing you as our patient." That was all. We went in and asked questions and found out they weren't going to have a psychiatrist anymore, just some counselors who had full case loads. He's getting his meds from our family doctor now and no therapy at all. I just couldn't get over sending letters like that to people with schizophrenia. If he had still been living alone I can't even imagine the interpretation he would have put on it.

Tonsilitis, which our 3 year old has for the second time in 6 weeks.
And those "winsome", "meaningful", "authentic", "stripped-down", cloying, annoying, wussy, versions of decent pop songs that are clogging up adverts at the moment: the ones where it's just a weedy, half-hearted, quavering "I'm such a dear little lamb" voice with a piano or acoustic guitar and which suck all the life, energy and meaning out of the songs they "cover", which back up bleached-out, "life-affirming" visuals where everyone's smiling in perfect, lens flare-added sunlight and the whole thing's so "meh" and wet and floppy that it should make you just quietly despair, but actually it makes you really, really angry: "PUT SOME LIFE AND ENERGY IN YOUR SINGING! SING IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!!!!" Or better, just playing originals.
I know I should be more about the former than the latter (and I probably am), but we can do something about the former - anti-biotics, sadly, won't clear up the latter.

I used to have tonsillitis before penicillin was available to the generality of people, and I was administered a pink stuff called M & B. I had ages off school.
It must be awful at 3, though, even with antibiotics, without the options of reading old comics and other pleasures.

It's not pleasant and her first bout was quite traumatic for us all, and especially her.
We're hoping we've caught it early enough this time, since we know what we're looking for, that we can stop it in its tracks before it gets that bad again.
