€25 delivery seems fine, now if it could just arrive in the next 5 mins that would be lovely...

The US crushing the vaccines, a mate had to go to the States for a few months, landed maybe two days ago and already has his first dose. Early thirties, no pre existing conditions, just made a booking and turned up, no residency barely a question asked. In and out in a few minutes. Gets the second jab in three weeks.

When you look at the charts these days you can get dismayed at the level of basic competence and what is accepted , however if you look a little closer there are a batch of young instrumentalists who are honing their stuff in college and crossing genres with their interpretations. Example Molly Tuttle went to Berklee (spelling?) and a few of her college mates are all quite accomplished musicians. Her Clawhammer technique is very impressive, so there is hope for those of us who prefer to watch the craft of musicianship. I used to call myself a guitarist but looking at the skills of some of these folk I keep very quiet about it these days. Put you to shame they would.
Tina Tuner documentary last night. Very good. Heard this Bowie Story about her
Eddy, 62, said: “It was in 1985 and they were performing at Birmingham’s NEC on the UK leg of her Private Dancer tour.
“She told me David had already told her many times, ‘I want you’.
“I arrived to see their sound-check on stage and they were teasing each other. Later they went back to the hotel...
“The next morning I went to Tina’s room and she was acting really strangely. She said, ‘Oh my god, David is so naughty’.
“She told me David came on to her and she said, ‘I thought, ‘Oh, we will have a bit of fun’.’ And they did.
“Then Tina started laughing and said, ‘He went to have a shower, then he walks out, stark naked, wearing one of my spare wigs.
Sun
“He started singing Rolling On The River and was dancing just like me’.
“They had fun. It wasn’t love, it wasn’t an affair, it was just a moment of explosive chemistry. It definitely brought a whole new meaning to ‘Private Dancer’ [Tina’s 1984 hit ].
That night I went with Tina to the NEC for the performance. David appeared at the top of a long flight of stairs on the stage.
Tina turned round with the biggest smile that said, ‘I had an exciting night’. The atmosphere between them was electric.
“On stage he whispered something to her and Tina burst out laughing.
“She later told me he’d said, ‘My c**k is still sore’. He was one of only a few lucky men who won over Tina.”
And! If you check out the YouTube video you can easily lip read Bowie’s comment and Tina’s reaction!

Whatever about ol Joe being slow, or the fact that this success is the sum of so many parts he has no hand in, they CRUSHED the goal.
Heads up though Charlie, lots of pharmacies round the city doing "waitlists" so you will get a call if some old dear cancels, and so the dose doesn't get wasted.
I've not availed, rather told as many parents of friends as possible but if you need it and are high risk but not up yet by the letter of the guidelines, you can prob get in somewhere."The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity."

this story that’s getting traction about immigrant doctors not being able to access career development opportunities in HSE is a weird one- there’s a lot of dancing around the obvious- that a certain class in Ireland like their immigrants to stay in McDonald’s and Starbucks not bumping their slightly dim sons and daughters off the ladder

And despite my attempts of running this body into the ground and my family history I am deemed perfectly healthy by the Canadian health care system but will let friends who have elderly parents know.

I'm still waiting on the text. Wife called the doc for a referral at about 10am. The receptionist incorrectly told her she didn't need one, just to rock up. Wife politely argued that she didn't think that was the case and the receptionist, unsure then herself asked her to Google it.
I called back at about 5pm to enquire as to whether the referral was made and they didn't know and couldn't check.
'the GP was very busy today, maybe she' ll get to it after her shift'
No idea now whether the referral was made.
Thankfully I'm not anxious about it but so many people would be.
