We can. It's just that some people don;t like you to point it out.

Driving along a national primary road at 100kph and a car behind me had been tailgating me for ages. I couldn't even see his number plate in my mirror. I slow down on an approach to queuing traffic at a roundabout and I hear tires squealing behind me. The idiot tailgater had to perform an emergency stop and swerve into the other lane to avoid hitting me. He was probably looking at his phone at the time too. From then on, he was about 100 meters behind me. I hope he learned his lesson not to tailgate

The government / state as a result of cutbacks can’t and won’t fund certain must needed rehabilitative treatments and services within our public health system..whole departments such as hydrotherapy just closed, mothballed, in the email I have, due to ‘cost’.

then you see our government ‘again’ sent a CN-235 aircraft costing the taxpayers about E2500 an hour on a 6 hour plus round trip to Poland to pick up a young Ukrainian patient who was flown to Cork for treatment…I have empathy for her plight but… their transport alone would cost almost 15,000 minimum, of taxpayers money. hospital treatment tens of thousands… they get fast tracked and flown.

meanwhile 10,741 people here are on waiting lists in excess of 18 months for treatments… 191 of those taxpayers have heart complaints. 60, oncology issues. Source for that is the NTPF.

a person in say the Naul with a medical condition won’t get the price of a taxi to the Mater or even their bus fare , or a cup of tea when they get there but we are enabling one of our multi role aircraft to be sent as an air ambulance/taxi to Poland while people here, taxpayers sit on waiting lists for months upon months… what about ILM , Irish lives matter ? Or do they ? Really ?

I'm notoriously bad at remembering birthdays, including my own. Need reminders for immediate family members and niblings are doing well if I remember what month they're in, let alone the date.

In fact, my TA is having 10 niblings to buy birthday presents for, even though some of them are in their late teens at this stage. In my day we didn't get presents off everyone! And we walked barefoot to school and it were uphill both ways...

@Strumms I see you're a racist now. Classy. Real classy

It’s racist to point out that taxpayers in need are being overlooked and actively discriminated against as relates to receiving help they require in their country where they are citizens and where they pay their tax ? While tens of thousands worth of help is being enabled to others in terms of treatment, executive transport and supports ? An interesting accusation alright…

The air corp have been involved in transferring very sick children for years

Mainly very sick babies and children who are transferred to centres of excellence in the UK , Germany , Sweden etc

It what the EU do so children get the best chance and it works both ways and benefits our babies too

TO yes not from…

Euro Health Consumer Index has Ireland as having the longest waiting times for treatment in Europe

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118848726#Comment_118848726

As a matter of fact also from . Yes from other lands to here for treatment actually . We are very lucky here to have a centre of excellence for paediatric and neo natal cardiac surgery and babies are brought from other EU countries for treatment

Seriously, lads, can we leave the politics out of the thread? Not all issues can be traded off against eachother.

Very lucky, hmmm certainly in my experience in ‘16 from a frontline expertise and people perspective we are awash will unreal talent.

which is absolutely fûck all use if you can’t get timely access to it and then as I couldn’t for a certain much needed rehabilitative treatment.

6 years later… of a DIY / wallet emptying journey to health im practically there, but more doors were closed than open, more consultations ended with both consultant and myself looking and shrugging shoulders as many services unavailable as available… to have a hospital with a hydrotherapy pool shut due to cost with a government, sorry governments enabling the wellbeing of others as a priority I won’t forget in a hurry. Paediatric patients that was also a sickener.

In December 2021, there were circa 100,000 Irish children on paediatric waiting lists for specialist care…an increase of 23,000 children in 3 years.

TA’d at posters going against the rant!!!

Ta1, I have to stand in front of a group tomorrow, talk sense, breath and remember things(which is an insurmountable task for me)

Ppl who actually know this is a difficulty are telling me how i'm going to "smash it" and its only "stage fright" one told me to stop looking for attention its only talking.

FFS If I say its an issue, then its an issue!!! gas how its me looking for attention and not a bad management decision to force a employee to perform tasks not in their remit and think that encouraging talk will solve the issues I have(which so far, science haven't)

Ta2, The conversation about sick children being flown in for treatment, sounds like every phone call I have at work everyday(slight exaggeration, but only slight)

madmaggie

TA that I phoned local health centre for advice re sick elderly uncle. No phone back yet. Not sick enough for ambulance, but worrying. Taken to Google and texting friends.

Community care my ar*e.

I'd probably go for the ambulance tbh.

Depending on where you live you might be waiting a while.

Get him checked out if it's a false alarm no harm. (Though maybe a little costly)

Our back garden has 3 beautiful mature trees that I love. We're selling up and one of the viewers has asked the estate agent if she could cut down all the trees. WTF is wrong with people? Why would you want to cut down 3 beautiful trees? They're a good 15 meters from the house so not a huge danger of falling on the house. Thank god there's tree protection orders on all 3 of them.

(on the other hand and completely off topic coz it's a TH - when my cat sleeps he obviously dreams about being a kitten suckling at his mother. It's too cute. He's doing it now and it's easing off the tree rage)

On Boards the Sticky posts for posters who have passed away. This is a nice gesture in the aftermath of the passing but really several months later I feel it's unnecessary. Maybe keep it for 2 or 3 weeks then remove it from being a Sticky.

Some big bald boulder of a man, possibly of a Middle Eastern persuasion singing rather loudly and extremely badly at the back of the bus 🙄 The air con inside the bus is off also so it's stuffy as hell.

We're a large multi that deals 90% with manufacturers and wholesalers in the engineering sector, but because people know where we are we do some small trade with locals

Guy today comes into where I work. I'm up to my tits with things to do. He the retired type, trying to find little things to do with his spare time

"Im looking for a thing that hooks into the thing."

Straight away I knew this was going to be painful

OK, I said, can we try narrow it down. Who made this unit.

"I dont know think it was home made"

Eventually I understood the part he was looking for with a series of gestures and hand signals. .

"Thats not a part for a trailer sir. Thats a car part, someone cut the axles off an old car and made a trailer from them which was common years ago. Not common now, its illegal"

He then doubles down

"I though you sold those parts"

I said we do, if it were a trailer component

"It is, its on a trailer"

To which I replied, sir, if there were an elephant on the trailer and it was sick would you come here or go to a vet? It's a car part you're looking for.

Years ago I worked in a hardware store.. as in construction materials. One regular came in. He must have been out the night before because he bought some materials and then asked do you sell road maps?

Road maps? Seriously?

"I thought you might"

My favourite of all time was when I worked in a tile shop, Guy and his wife walks in, down through the rows and rows of nothing but (you guessed it) tiles. Asks me "Do you sell beds" I looked at him a little quizzically, and with a suggestive glance around me I said, no sir, no beds here. Just tiles, we're a tile shop.

Now, you'd expect that at this point he would have felt he might have asked a stupid question, but doubles down, perhap it's human instinct to try save save face but he then says..

"Oh, ok, I thought maybe you might have them stored in the warehouse. Do you sell mattresses?

Double facepalm

An overwhelming urge to kick someone in the nads or ovaries when they natter on about their 'journey'. The kind of journey that doesn't involve travelling anywhere.

There’s no BBC1+1. I missed the name of an oil from Daffodils that is supposed to have brain protective properties.

"Galanthamine, also called galantamine, marketed as Reminyl by pharma company Shire Pharmaceuticals, is particularly interesting because it is approved by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence in the UK as a treatment of early stage and moderate Alzheimer’s dementia. Alzheimer’s currently affects at least 600,000 people in the UK and as many as 35m people worldwide, and incidences will increase dramatically as average life expectancies increase."

Is it not just narcissus oil? Or do you mean a medicine like Reminyl?
