Dear Hijack I've got an 11 week holiday coming up  Gunna need to fill up my kindle with some goodies before I go - recommend me some books please? Not so much into factual/biographies etc and don't really like sci-fi stuff. Also no hippy/philosophical meaning of life bullshit. Otherwise anything goes. Thanks

My girlfriend had a transvaginal ultrasound whist pregnant. I definetly didn't make any vibro jokes whilst stood next to her, for sure.
Maybe you should of done. Lighten the atmos.  When one of my mates was doing a vaginal examination on a pregnant lady her husband turned to him and said "You're the only man I've ever let finger my wife" bahahahaha fucking awkward!

Wes is right. Lot's of people carry the MRSA bug on their skin, this doesn't mean they infected, it just lives on them. These people are the source of infection for others who are susceptible. All patients being admitted to private hospitals will be screened for MRSA before they arrive. If they are carrying the bacteria they will have a treatment to get rid of it before they are allowed into the hospital. Lots of people who have planned admissions to NHS hospitals (e.g. for a knee operation) will have the same process done. People who come into hospital through A&E are also screened for MRSA, but because it is an emergency they have to be admitted anyway, you can't send someone who's having a heart attack home and tell them to come back when their MRSA is gone. The reason that private hospitals don't have MRSA is because they don't deal with emergency patients.

What's a BMus with Honours? Not a degree right? A degree is massaging hands?
Bachelors degree in music  Ah yes, he makes awesome bleepy electronic music as well as massages. Presumably not at the same time Probably wouldn't be massively relaxing...

Plus if your place of work is miles away from the station at the other end then you could be knackered.
This is very true, the hospital is nowhere near the train station

If you do end up commuting to Salisbury from Bristol, I would recommend moving SOTR. If you are doing 90 mins to Salisbury, the potential extra 20 minutes getting across Bristol could be the difference between normal-ish life and insanity (that's assuming you live somewhere in the north of the city now - my point might be useless!).
That's good to know, thanks. Think I would probably cycle from G. Rd to the station & get the train, driving would send me mentals I reckon. Southampton sounds shit, I'm glad I asked!

Will be coming back to Bristol as much as possible cause my man & cats are here, so Bournemouth is probably too far for me. Not really fussed about night life - can come back to Bristol for that and also will be working my arse off and probably doing a fair few night shifts. Commuting from Bristol to Salisbury seems to be the most tempting option at the moment...
So really this thread should've been called "Salisbury" then?!!? Maybe, I kind of got the gist of what Salisbury is like though, don't know anything about Southampton so thought I'd ask just in case people said it was amazorz.

Shouldn't be too bad, I didn't realise that Salisbury was your place of work... Not sure if it is yet... will be somewhere around the south coast, I've got to decide where I want to be based (although I might end up getting sent somewhere else anyway).

Got to move to somewhere in that area for work next year. Debating the relative merits of being in Salisbury which is probably pretty dull but only an hour away from Bristol on the train, or being in Southampton which would probably be more fun but half an hour further away...

Nobody wants to "drag" everybody's pensions down, but there is no way that the current system is sustainable. People need to start taking responsibility for themselves, and start making their own separate provisions for their retirement, rather than expecting the governmenit to do it for them.
Yes, private sector pensions are shite, but you don't see us striking, do you? No, we just supplement it with our own cash instead.
Yep, but one of the attractions for me to a state sector job is the fact that although the annual salary is less, you do get a decent pension! I'd be surprised if public sector salaries are still lower than private sector... Depends on the job surely. Doctors can earn a ton more in private practice for example...
