Wow, a brilliant song. July Morning deserves the title of greatest song of the 70s, but only on the technicality that Child in Time was writen in 1969.

OK, so we have a choice here.....

The greatest piece of music to come out of the 70's (and I really do mean greatest) - July Morning by Uriah Heep. We have a choice of good sound over the original singer. So what do we choose? Singer or sound.

What do I think? Well, the original vocalist was so superior but he is let down by his inability to remember the second verse - but the feel of the song is there. The second singer has a good set of lungs (he manages the high notes), he gets the feel of the song and is backed up by a good recording - but he is not David Bryon. Bugger it, both are worth a listen - you choose.

thanks for that Albie, I had totally forget this song -damn, it was of my teenage favs !-

Bryon is a god, but, here I choose sound
 
I had a hospital appointment yesterday for a check up on my broken foot at 9.55. Time I was called to the second waiting room: 10.45. Ten more minutes before I was in the doctor's room. How long did I spend in there? Roughly 40 seconds. No X-ray to see that it was healing properly, didn't even ask me how it felt. He just prodded the middle of my foot, and said this is where it's supposed to hurt. I know where it's supposed to bloody hurt, it's my foot! I'm not going there again unless I'm dying.

It's all about fulfilling govt. quotas, and moving you along like a factory line.

(Be an animal...you get much better service at the vet's ;))
 
You aren't far wrong there.

A case in point: A friend of mine had a bad car accident around 2 years ago. His knee needed surgery to repair a ruptured cruciate ligament and after spending all that time seeing consultant after consultant, he finally got the date for his operation the week after next. Last January, my dog ruptured his cruciate ligament and upon a specialist vet making a diagnosis of this, he was fitted in for an operation within three days. He is now fully recovered.

That's representative of two things;

1. The speediness of small-practice work as opposed to large hospitals

2. The number of cruciate ligament ruptures your average vet sees :P

The flip-side of the coin is that not a lot of people can afford vet bills, and asking lower income families to pay that kind of price for their own health would be near impossible.

hope is not discret, but ...where exactly do you live ?
 
it's very enough, is what I was asking in fact  :)

these things can happen everywhere though,
as is not just a question of the health system of each country,
but also, the specific personnel of each hospital

Yet, secretly, there is a doubt that gnaws at the root of your mind, like some black Dutch Elm disease on the oak of your psyche...

That's what happens when you give children access to teh intrawebs. After all, the author of that video had set out to intentionally irk Pantera fans by making a video celebrating Dimebag's death. Of course, Pantera fans being well...Pantera fans, responded in their typical manner. Analcarbomb played them like a violin in such a beautifully deceptive manner, that it would make Paganini proud.
