If Ol'Alf grew a beard he'd look just like him.

I dunno, you go out of your way to help people and that's the thanks you get.

I could be hurt.

No - He'll more than likely cover it in all that coke he has

That's what will happen if Paris gets involved. Either that, or he will add some tasteful artwork to it.

What I am finding quite shocking is that these so called professionals are happy for you to sit indefinitely with a plaster and metalwork in your leg. That is a huge incompetent failure to provide care.

Seriously, I would be taking Dorothy's advice and I would be getting exceptionally loud about it.

Any updates on the situation?

I'm on the phone with this woman... She hasn't given me her name yet, even though I've asked for it.
If she can't resolve this, I'll just go back to the minister.

And then I have a more cunning, alternative plan... ; )

Jesus christ on a bike, what is the matter with them? Are they intellectually challenged? It isnt rocket science, my tolerance to stupidity and wankerdom is severely lacking, I am so glad I am not in your shoes.

If she refuses to give you her name, tell her the convo was being recorded anyway.

Please tell me your cunning plan does not involve removing your own plaster?

I'm debating that.

But I thought I'd turn up to a linked hospital, complaining of pain and purple toes... They will refer me to Nepean.
I'm waiting for the liaison chick to call me back now after she's 'confirming' my report of what's happened. It's all very cliquey and backed up to the hilt.
