NHS

Went to the hospital on the free bus. Most of the seats were taken up by a family of overweight chavs who were taking their daughter for a check. A bloke gave a seat to his staffy dog while old people were standing - I stood up for one. Had a chat with an old friend though.

Hospital was very full and very efficient. I handed my papers in and was seen relatively quickly by a black doctor who very obviously knew what he was doing. Told me my problem and gave me an appointment for next week - very impressed by the service.

Had a chance to watch the people in the waiting area. Why are so many people stereotypes? There was the traditional young thicky who had 'Done my knuckle in cos I smacked my mate', trying his best to impress a young slapper who had broken her wrist while pissed. Even she soon got tired of Mr Thicko and went to sit somewhere else.

The rest were old people, who , I suppose are more prone to breaking things than others.

Star Wars

While waiting for my free, NHS provided shuttle bus to the nearest hospital, I walked down into my local town. On the way, a scruffy tosser asked me if I had any fags as 'I was supposed to get paid today'! As if a malodorous half-wit would get paid! Giros are not pay!!

As usual the place was full of squads of Fat-lass and Ratboy, pushing freezing little Chlamydia about with no gloves on her hands, that were occupied with the obligatory Gregg's Dummy.

The obligatory duo of 20 year olds meandered past drinking their lager and shouting fuck at the top of their voices and shoving OAP's out of the way.

It is like walking into the Star Wars Bar - seedy; ugly; suspicious and stupid people staring into space. Saw a couple of people from work who were amused at my shoulder. 'You nutter', one of them said - me, a nutter...?

Looks like I'm up Shit Creek again!

Starting my day with a brand new fractured shoulder. Never had one before: let's see how my day at the NHS works out.
