That's not why he flounced - one of his threads in General ED issues/gossip was deleted by Admin. He threw a few barbs at me in his farewell post. No hard feelings on my part, though.


I was thinking only this afternoon that he might have given jrussel a good run if he were still with us.

I'm inclined to agree with quids. He wouldn't want to lose face by returning after his flounce royale.


Has was an eloquent, articulate guy, and a lot of his posts were worth reading. But he could also be rude and condescending, and his frequent manipulation of statistics was a particular bugbear!

I met him briefly once a few years ago and he seemed like a very nice sort of chap but you can't always go by first impressions I suppose. I mostly enjoyed his contributions though as Jeremy has rightly pointed out he could be rude and at times condescendng but having now read the entire contents of the "flounce" thread I can also see why he wouldn't want to converse with a couple of the posters on it who in my opinion didn't do themselves any favours at all.

Still, let's not draw up old arguments from months back I'd certainly welcome his return but I'm not sure if he can be bothered considering he spends most of his time in Singapore and I get the feeling he may feel he'd lose a bit of face if he did.

    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
    • I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
