Whereas my doctors will allow you to book appointments online. Rather bizarrely, you have to write to them for permission to use the system.
My moans. Tourists, pupils and trains..
Sadly, working in a busy tourist town, I get to see a lot of tourists and pupils. Most of the time, neither bother me but I've dealt with both every day for the last couple of weeks.
My problem with pupils is simply that schools, presumably in an attempt to cut costs, often send out pupils in large groups (I've seen up to 100) with a couple of teachers. I don't even have a problem with that. It's just that the teachers seem to work hard to find a place for the pupils to group up that causes the maximum disruption for other people. They block pavements, stairs, escalators, pedestrian cross, and anything else they can. Today, I had to fight to get down the stairs to my station, then, when I needed to change to the overground train, another group of pupils had blocked the one entrance to my platform that was open.
I'm sure that they don't, but I've had to fight to get past large groups at least twice a day for the last two weeks. BTW, these are both language schools, and don't seem to follow the normal term start/end dates.
Tourists tend to do the same thing.
Why bring trains into it? Well, my evening train is normally crowded, which is bad enough, but today it was so crowded that no one even had room to breath. The man standing behind me seemed unable to hold on to the rail. Well, he'd have had to put down either his briefcase or book to do so, and he seemed unable to do either. So, every time the train moved even slightly he went flying into the nearest commuter, usually me. I had to hold on for dear life to stop myself crushing the woman in front of me, and the extra weight really wasn't helping. Of course, South Eastern being the charming, customer focused company they are, said absolutely nothing about any earlier problems that might have caused (IMO) dangerous levels of overcrowding. In fact, beyond the normal automated train announcements, they actually said nothing.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
We have an open surgery in the morning and you are always attended too if you are there before half past eleven. The afternoon is for appointments only. It works very well. It is a one Doctor practise, which is good for patient and doctor.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
I remember when I was younger that is the way my Doctors worked only difference it was not a one Doctors practice. I do sometimes wonder why did they change something that works just fine, if it ain't broke I say don't fix it. Nashville I wish my GP practice still worked like your's.
My moan now is that hubby or the boy's have found my Frys peppermint cream chocolate bar that I thought I had hid really well from prying eyes.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Companies with slow websites..
I'm trying to install the latest version of the software we use to manage our cameras. The software is downloading at about 140kbps, and it's a 130 meg file.
I wouldn't mind, but we paid about 40,000 euros for each camera, you'd think they could afford decent web hosting, especially as the first thing they usually tell you to do when you call them for support is download the latest software from their website.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Spinal Tap were rehearsing in the next room to us again tonight. Can your backline be any louder and can your singer possibly be any worse, droning endless, crap Judas Priest covers.
Need to find somewhere else... this is really getting on my wick, it's nearly every week now no matter what night we practice.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
(A constructive moan)...Cable Forum for some time now seems way too quiet. I hope something can be done about it. The appeal and it's use seems a bit lost.
I couldn't find the thread about the changes that were proposed, but I haven't noticed anything to come out of it.
I thought it must be worth a mention.

Thanks for the advanced warning, Ricky Gervais is so unfunny I'd rather watch a Justin Bieber concert
