Is this the guy who snapped and punched the bloke who was stalking him and his family, despite having a restraining order?

 

If so, fair play for giving the cunt a dig

I'm no expert either, sadly, I have to hear about them, and I absorb bits here and there. Agreed, the bases will probably last for ever, there's shit loads of concrete poured into the ground to keep them in place (both on and off shore)  - so presumably they'll just only have to change the actual turbines (and no doubt they will get far more efficient over the coming years.

I'm not dead against them, it's just nuts that we've slung thousands of the things up, with, it seems, little or no thought in storage

What will be interesting is what they will do in certain places - they whacked of them up at the end of our village about 5 years ago (I can actually see one nicely spinning away in the distance, from my office window) - part of the planning, after much NIMBY protesting by the local yokels, was that after 25 years (the proposed working lifetime of this particular project) they'd be taken down, the concrete removed and all the land "made good" - if that sort of agreement is in place for our village, I'm sure it's also in place for lots of other locations.

......although, I think we all know there is no way on earth they'll want to "take them down" and not replace them in 20 years time, especially as most of the hard work (ground works) has already been done. Fortunately, I'll be 70, so I'll probably be dead by then anyway, so I won't have to put up with the NIMBYs again who will be back out in force 🙂

 

They (the Co-Op who own them) also committed to give £25K per year to the Parish Council whilst the turbines are in operation, and to be fair they have been donating the £25K per year, which has gone to local youth groups, creating a park, and funding a weekly "warm space" for the resident owd duffers, so that's pretty decent

If it was me I'd just cover the base in topsoil and grass, and hope the doddery old folk don't notice.

Have you seen the amount of reinforcement in a turbine base. They'd be an absolute fucker to remove.

A Government actually doing stuff to improve the lives of citizens? Surely not?

Never been an option with my GP. It will be in the near future, thanks to this Government doing actual work.

Aye

Last shower had no good will from GPs due to treating the sector like shit

 

[Casino]

Wife reckons it wont actually work, through no fault of govt or patients

[Not in Crawley]

I can log in with symptoms etc and then someone gets back to me with either a phone call from a clinician or to book an appointment. But actually booking a time slot online - nope never been able to do that in the last three doctors I've had and the one here is a massive medical centre/local small hospital thingy.

Not a facility that's open to our local GP at the minute sadly, you have to ring up and hold for what seems to be an eternity

[Winchester White]

I can book GP appointments online but not for next day, more like a week out so no good for stuff that needs sorting asap.

Same. Couldn’t be bothered waiting in a queue on the phone or at the surgery. That said, good to see they are at least trying to do something

What do you, as an adult, need sorting same day?

I get it if somebody is worried about kids

I always told my wife the surgery should do 2 til 10 mon-sat

She disagreed

It's been fucking nuts for years. You have to phone at a certain time, and spend hours waiting for an answer, then get an appointment weeks later? Any cunt with half a brain cell knows that's not how health works. It's early days, but common sense seems to be prevailing again.

I know it exists as I’ve been using it. It’s nothing new as the Tweet suggest. 

[Casino]

Im not at work so any further questions will get a delayed response

[Cheese]

Hopefully thick cunts like this fella will be complaining that their GP's are too efficient soon. 🤦‍♂️

Ooh, last one, just for you

Yes, you have been able to do it, but very few others can

Now, everybody, in time, will be able to

 

Wont work without some changes mind

[Spider]

I can't book online, I have to ring.

That said, there has been a marked difference in recent months in terms of getting an appointment and things being dealt with, that is, it's much much better.

The sooner they go online the better as that will really steady the ship
