    You are all obviously upstanding citizens if there's no scandal.

    I have an MRI scan next Tuesday at 5.00 pm at Glenfield Hospital investigating possible prostate cancer. Today I had a letter inviting me to a consultation at 3.00 pm the same day at the General Hospital, five miles away, to get the scan results.

    Sorry to hear that @BenCotto
    A triumph of planning! And you’ve only got Monday to get it sorted out 🙄

    I have to have an injection on Tuesday in my knee and one in my hip mid September.  Chemists are out of stock of the vital ingredient.  A national problem apparently!  So now what!?  It's ordered but no guarantee.  I phoned the clinic who inform me - no ingredient, no injection but to phone a couple of days before in case the clinic has had a delivery in which case I will have to replace the ingredient when it arrives.

    What a palaver!!

    Where does the ingredient come from?

    Better get yourself a Tardis @BenCotto and nip backwards a couple of hours after the MRI

    @tui34 I had that when I was having knee injections - get jabbed then go to the pharmacy for replacement product.   No problem with supplies then but, in fact, the product only worked the first round of 3 jabs and the 2nd lot failed.  Added to that was the fact that the rheumatologist delivering the jabs was a complete b*st*rd so I asked my GP to refer me for a new knee. 

    @B3the active ingredient is hyaluronic acid which has found its way into modern, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle face creams and moisturisers.   No idea where it is sourced or made but maybe in short supply if the cosmetic industry is monopolising it.

    I had to make the joke that if there was any left......!!   Not the same hyaluronic acid @Obelixx  I had a little tuto from my chemist yesterday.  The articulation one is much denser than the cosmetic one.    So no chance of some face filler!!

    When I take my dog in the lift, I call it the Tardis. @KT53  You go in from one dimension and zap!!  the doors open into a completely different world - well that's what my dog tells me!!

    I did that to my neighbour's cat once. He'd been lost overnight and I found him all stressed out and took him home in my car. His mind was blown! 🤣 It was hilarious to watch.

    I posted about the Spanish kiss. I based that post on a still image, but having seen the video from which it presumably came, I'm not so sure. Looks like they'll be a full enquiry though so maybe the full picture will come out then.
