So the health service is crap, the food is crap, you can't find a job / contract yet you still want to live there....

I only started looking for a gig 3 weeks ago and it's a quiet time of year.

The health service is still crap in the UK, and compared to the length of time even on private on the UK, he get got an operation sooner than the UK

Actually the food scene is starting to pick up big time here, lot of attitude changes in the last year and with the blog I'm starting to make some good contacts.

And compared to the UK I have a way better quality of life, I really prefer it to the UK.

He's got scoliosis, and due to him being pretty tall, it will recur, but you can't predict when and if the facet joints in the spine will flare up.

Waiting times are pants here, 2 weeks if you are lucky or 1 month, so it was a month before he got to the clinic and then another month for the op.

They don't appear to have private here, when we had this problem 6 years ago Mr N had private, so it was over and done with pretty prompt. They've used a different procedure here in cloggers cauterizing rather than cortisone injections which takes longer to kick in.

The clinic where he had the op was a case of line 'em up and kick 'em out and no follow up with advice on drugs, when is a good time to start physio etc.... all we know is that the surgeon will call him in March and that is it.

So hopefully in 6 weeks, we might start seeing results. It's a waiting game

2 weeks to a month is far better than this t!tw@nk NHS. However, in his case it is probably late given the damage to nerves (and confidence, lifestyle) it causes if not diagnosed quickly.

Before I went private, I paid for an epidural injection for a similar condition and I continue to pay for them (pre-existing and all that b0llocks) as and when my arse reaches my neck.

Good luck and all the best.

Tidied up the front shrubbery as well.

Still have a bramley tree to plant, some friends bought me a "medium" tree, it's a fully grown one. Trying to work out where to put it in the garden.

Ni! Ni! Ni!

I've conquered that by going for long 1 hour walks during lunch. A cafe half a mile away does excellent Sarnies and is a good motivation to get my fat arse off my seat!

I used to always try and get out of the office at lunch when working in blighty.

Over here they don't seem to do that as much.

The BigMuffCopy certainly distorts stuff.

With a vengeance.

Put a sinewave in & you get all sorts of weird stuff out.

Next is the attempt to make a 1 string guitar out of a bit of wood & a steel string.

With a magnet with a coil around it for a pickup.



This could be the next Big Thing.

The food is pretty grim in cloggers, thankfully it is improving.

Fried food, sarnies and milk.

Though I have had some awesome toasties ( tostis) here.
