I'm supposed to go every four months but that would mean booking the next check-up a month after treatment which is daft. She has to do the same thing every four months anyway so checks are pretty pointless, might suggest that to her thinking about it. the man has canceled 6 times in the last couple of months , odd it never happened when I was a private patient eh?

Just got home; it's in Bristol (70 miles away) but they're building one in Exeter (15 miles away, opening next summer). Dreading it. Mike, 140 miles to do some shopping! That must be some sort of record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Just now, Matt said: Has Bill hacked your account? i'm not against fantasy/sci-fi, in fact i enjoy a lot of it (as you well know with our discussions on "The Expanse"). I guess maybe my issue isn'tt with the fans on further reflection, maybe more that it's become a part of pop culture and popular canon. GOT phrases, quotes, topics, etc are all used interchangeably in everything from news to social interaction. I'm over it. i probably sound like star trek fans do when a star wars movie is coming out or when "may the fourth" occurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're angriest about the fact you don't understand why they're angry; so much so that they usually don't remember what they were angry about in the first place. pete0 and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 The fucking IRS is after our joint-account information even though my wife is only on the account so she can have access to the larger income (she has her own for her income). We told the bank we don't consent to this sharing of information as it's all my income (as a British national, they have no right to see what I earn), but the bank have said their obligated to share the information with the IRS whether we consent or not.
