Superb tonight. Best player on the pitch

Just sat in car after the game Played alright. Still trying to walk the ball in the net. Better side but they looked dangerous on the breaK. Morgan was my MoM Djuricic was very good also Forster made some good saves Pelle was poor Clyne was poor Both CBs seemed iffy at times Any win is welcome though. Ironically, it took a (pretty poor) shot from the edge of the area to produce the goal. Why we do not try that more is a mystery

I have played 10 games. the fewest I got after a game was 2. Regularly 3, 4+

loads of injuries

I would expect to see Long on the right tonight. Even though I would have in for Pelle

jedink is out. Banned for 4 games

that vid is insane. THE only thing you could think went on was the homeless chap (whilst getting battered) went for one of their guns/got the gun....but...jesus christ

the money was an example. Which is largely why people tend to work. the agency cant parachute them into another hospital where everything is fine and comfortable. They DO offer more money as it is really the only variable they can control..... well, the government pay them more money to make the NHS work

It is not what I think. It is what my missus reckons. she is currently an ICU nurse and has been in the profession since 1998. The numbers she knows that are on the books with the agencies are huge. you cannot work for an NHS trust and work there with a private company simultaneously. She is pretty confident, going off what her friends who administer two of these agencies down our way that if they were to fold tomorrow and all of their professionals went back to the NHS, many would be unable to find work if that is true or not, I have no idea. But cant see why she would make that up

also, suggesting they are lacking 'british ethics' is a ridiculous notion. I have no idea the working hours of my missus colleagues. I gave you an example that she could work less than full time hours and earn more than what she would full time for the local NHS trust. The other half enjoys the pay and freedom she has. With that, she has zero job security and gets paid nothing if she was off sick. the NHS is is a massive question that no government can answer. ANY party who tries to do something fairly big with it is absolutely blasted by most. Easy option as numbers in the country are growing very quickly (take this back to the OP) is to throw money at it. Sooner or later (surely) something has to change

they do not do it for free? no one would. it is almost like you want your nurses to earn minimum wage to do a high stressful job in many cases If the agencies were wrapped up, the NHS trust's would have way too many doctors and nurses and simply would not be able to employ them all with todays numbers. It is the governments under massive pressure that give this money to the agencies. the same is being done for district nursing round these parts. In a huge effort to take the pressure off of the hospitals

also, are you saying they are not worth being paid that much? they are not demanding the money. It is on offer to them

British Ethics? what on earth are those? no one does it for free.

they wont work for the NHS as they can pretty much chose their shifts and get paid way more for doing the exact same job. they cannot do that and work for the local NHS trust at the same time. More and more leave, sign up to the private agencies and then 6 months later you are free to work in the NHS trust you have just left as posted before. Nurses can earn £75 an hour for a bank holiday shift (11 hours paid)

The undersupply for the NHS, yes. Private. Not so sure. As said on another thread. There are a high amount of health care professionals that are colleagues of my missus will not work for the NHS. They chose pretty much their own hours. Many do less than full time hours to get more than full time pay. There are plenty of them too. Just they will not work for the NHS

as have said before. there are plenty of doctors/Nurses. Many just don't/won't work for the NHS.

Jedinak set to be charged by the FA for his elbow on Saturday. Wonder if this will happen before Tuesday eve?

Spurs better side in 1st half of the cup final

:smug:

and LIKE I said. I initially made my point in a flippant way for a nibble and have since agreed with parts of what you say.

Nope. I do not think I would like to have lived in that period of history in any guise. however, we are where we are. Much of that is thanks to some pretty horrible stuff by todays standards carried out by our great relations

indeed. we did that by force mostly. Not so sure I would welcome it if that was replicated here. still does not mean we should not have checks and balances in place to control who comes here.

in the grand scheme of things, I do not care. I await your cut and paste of your next remark (you do use the same lines for us all on your hit list)

HYPOCRITE!!! I was putting the fishing line out and got a nibble. as for this subject, of course proper controls should be put in place on the numbers and quality of those coming. That does not mean NO ONE can come but that should mean that NOT everyone can come. Kelvin made a point that why shouldn't others who are less fortunate not be able to come here and gain all that goes with it. That is obviously a fair point. That should be controlled so that what UK-PLC can offer those remains at the top table instead of a race to the bottom (that some believe is/can happen) as for his disdain for our ancestors, again good points raised. I just pointed out that a majority that went before us all created this society that he wishes to be available to all. Maybe not be so quick to slam those from years gone by. Had the evil British Empire NOT existed or in a far lesser form, makes you wonder if we would have the fruits of society we have today. Or even what language that would be in
