    Regulatory red tape probably means it will be some time before we see the same offered in Europe but this will surely completely obliterate the brick and motor chemist industry.

    Amazon launches cheap prescriptions for US Prime members

    Comment


      Those of you on The Last Of Us buzz (which has been incredible and I suspect will go down as the show of the decade - the latest ep was brilliant and totally not at all what I expected) should also watch Station Eleven, its probably been mentioned here before but its brilliant and this song from it is a great listen.



      This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
      All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

        loads of online chemists already exist in the UK and all repeat prescriptions can be delivered straight to your door on a weekly, monthly basis.

          There's a definite market for a well implemented technology solution here, especially if it's integrated with video GP services.

          Most of the hassle is chasing gp appointment slots, then chasing the pharmacy to get your script ready. Also if they don't have the medication in stock you usually don't find out until arriving there.

              Yeah it's been brilliant. It's been said in a lot of places but the showrunners love of the game shines through in the quality of it all. I'm a nerd for world ending shit though so prob biased.

                  What started out as "we might get the kitchen units painted" has turned into a whole refurb, new floor tiles, new counters, new backsplash, new hob, new extractor, lights and paint...which will extend to the dining area and utility

                              New one to me, how does that all work?

                              I don't watch much, just get the odd show from private cousins.

                                Find it slightly fascinating that a jury of 12 peers gets put under immediate time pressure, called back into the courtroom once or twice a day to ask if they've reached a verdict or are likely to do so.
                                Whilst a jury of 3 judges gets to state 'sure we'll be back in a couple of months lads'.

                                  Maybe they have to write their verdict?

                                      According to that bastion of good sense and rational reporting that is, er, the Irish Sun, that does seem to be the case.

                                      GERRY “The Monk” Hutch’s murder trial will resume on Thursday – with just a few weeks of evidence remaining.

                                      The three judges at the Special Criminal Court will then take approximately one month to deliver their verdicts in what is expected to be a lengthy written judgment.
                                      Now let's meet Kelly, 18, a barmaid from Essex whose interests include wearing very little.

They had a sign on the door with "3 masks for €5.00" (it may not have been €5 can't remember exactly) She popped 3 masks without any protective packaging into a brown paper bag! So they were breaking down bigger packs obviously and coughing all over them

                                                                      I actually turned the first episode off halfway through when it first aired a few weeks ago. I didn't know what it was going to be about but once I realized I just thought the genre had been done to death and was tired of the never-ending steaming pile of crap that has been churned out around it. The lack of much else worth watching at the moment and the acclaim this episode is getting made me go back and give it another go. Certainly glad I did. Such a good episode of television.

                                                                                                Conte just as ruthless. Doherty goneski too. Although they agreed to release him because they had too many players shipped out on loan. Too many full backs too. Thought there was an issue with joining Atleti Madrid but just saw it was confirmed. Interesting to see if he gets much game time under Simeone

                                                                                                Comment
