I can't drive at the moment, because my GP is a dirty, backstabbing Judas cow, but that's another story.

I've got some rusty bits of metal that need powdercoating. Contacted the local place, then on a Saturday morning I took humped the lot in to town on the bus. Bloke rings back on the Wednesday, can't do them because them won't fit in the oven 😕.
Got a lift from a neighbour the on the following Saturday to retrieve them.

Emailed another place, sent them some photos and explained what needs doing. The reply was "The boss says these will need shotblasting". Well duh. I emailed them back, saying I knew that.

Took the day off work. Took the bits to the powdercoating place by taxi. There was an old woman in the office who pulled up my email and said to leave it with her. Three minutes later she rings me to say they don't do shotblasting. Well done, grandma. If you'd said in your original email "these will need shotblasting, which is not something we do" then I wouldn't have brought the damn things. So then I had to retrieve them and take them home in another taxi. Wasted £45 to take some bits of metal on a 26-mile ride.

GP told the DVLA some bullshit, by any chance? I had to wait a year to reapply for my licence because of what some dipshit A&E doctor, who didn't know me from Adam, put on my release form.

On the flippedy-flip ... I went to some crappy motor show a few years back, and an official DVLA representative said (and I backed this up later, directly) that they couldn't give a monkeys about me losing an eye. 🏴‍☠️

Well, you know that all doctors have to swear the Hippocratic Oath? Well guess what, they don't. And you've heard of patient confidentiality? Well, there's no such thing. One doctor can tick one box on a form, and fuck you over to the DVLA like a Stasi agent in the darkest days of the DDR. Which is how I got six months' house arrest. It's taking Dry January to the extreme.

Yep. I dont trust any doctor as far as I could throw them, now.

Ive had many a day like that.when this happens while me or the wife are out seperatly,we call it a dick head day.yep..dick heads are out today.

Some powder coaters do sandblasting but many don't, This is the sort of crap that makes me do everything myself where possible, specially local to me there are some absolute clowns running businesses, how difficult is it to say we don't do Sandblasting or ask if the metal is already cleaned and ready to paint

I've used 4 local Plastic places for Perspex, 1 couldn't cut to the size asked, 2 others are unable to cut a few sheets without it being damaged with marks in protective film thats so deep it's gone through to the new sheet, 1 managed to do it while I wait and all good.

I don't trust Doctors, other half is having fun with them muppets, if you go for blood tests and they record your kidney function decreasing each year surely you would look at it before it's dropped to below 60 and when asked if been taking Ibuprofen they don't question the Naproxen they had you on for last few years

Brothers wife I was telling about it said she was on same and when she told her Doctor the Naproxen causes Kidney problems on being told she's at stage 3 her reply was.... Does It?
