I'm having good old bangers and mash tonight.
Good quality plain pork sausages from the butcher in Rothbury, whom I also used to go to school with, apparently. I only vaguely remember him, but man, he makes a mean sausage.

Evening chaps.

Evening son.
Haven't decided what to have on room service yet. I have however downloaded Woman In Black to watch whilst I consume it.

How was the lamb? As good as anticipated?

It was excellent; the bones and leftovers are being turned into soup right now.
Still in Poland, eh?

Yep. Flying back (very) early on Sat. Home for two weeks then here again.
Edit: should have made Shepards pie with the leftover meat

Not enough left, unfortunately.
Especially after I just nommed a couple of pieces when I got in from work.

I'm surprised there was any left, to be honest, what with the stepson being in all day.

I've found it's always good to hide your meat when kids are around.

Surely the problem with Bartleby is that he's trying to hard to hide his meat around kids?

Alright?
They got this deli in the marks'n'sparks where I was at today (proper one) and they do these pasteries and pies, and having stuff from their pastry thinggy is like me suddenly getting what non-londoners think about pies. Proper pies with proper pastry are well lush.

Some supermarkets sell them.

A decent pie is a thing to behold.
But a sub standard one gives me chronic heartburn if the pastry is of poor quality.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 19 Feb 2013, 19:25, Reply)

I was thinking about making a mushroom, beef and ale one tomorow.
Well, the pie guts anyway, and then freeze it into single-person portions, then when I want it, I can get get some pastry from the supermarket an have pie at a whim... but also be able to have it with dumplings or potato-based top if I change my mind.

One of the things I like is the unknown. Sometimes it works, sometimes I end up binning it.

Hah, exactly. I'd only make it to try it, have a few spoon fulls at most.
Just make it to see if its nice and/or a good idea, rather than to actually consume.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 19 Feb 2013, 19:24, Reply)

I reckon so, always has done before.
Proper tires me out for a few days, but when that goes i'm alright for a good 7-8 weeks.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 19 Feb 2013, 19:29, Reply)

What sort of treatment is it?
Serious question.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 19 Feb 2013, 19:30, Reply)

Some stuff called Inflixinab.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 19 Feb 2013, 19:35, Reply)

What does it do?

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 19 Feb 2013, 19:36, Reply)

Keeping in mind that I don't really want to know the ins'n'outs of what my medication does*....
... It knocks out a huge chunk of my immume system so my body doesn't attack itself, but doesn't damage it to the point of my imume system not growing back. It makes me really vulnrable for a few days while my body alters, so I know not to really go out for the first day or soo, and if I catch anything like a cough/cold in the first week, I should go straight to A&E.

I know it's a really expensive treatment, about £2500 a go (every 8 weeks), because getting funding was a complete and utter nightmare. They give you 3 doeses, and if it works, your doctors have to make a case to your PCT. In reality they'd rather I have it every 6 weeks, if money didn't matter.

But the stuff is good, I know I don't sound well on here, but where as before I'd get 2 good weeks out of 8, now I tend to get 2 bad weeks out of 8. It seems to be some kind of mircial cure being used for all sorts of things. Where as the idea was for Crohns & Colitis, every time I go now there are people getting it for other things, like some skin conditions.


* Not saying anyone who does is right/wrong, some people like to know, others would rather not. Both are alright ways of these things.

Nothing like a good debate, I like them.

With the treatment
Looking at it coldly, and hopefully without revealing too much about my income or council tax, and I'm excluding how long I've been on the treatment and how long I've been paying "into the system", because I'm awfully tired and don't have the head for the maths.

The treatment allows for me to mantain full employment. I reckon, doing some quick-maths, I pay [ballparking] slightly over 1/2 of that back in directly, then there is the fact that where I work profits on my work and thus pay more into the system... and the clients profit from the company I work for's work...etc etc. Not saying that's all down to me, the company would run if I wasn't there, but I'm still a part of it in that respect.

Then excluding the fact that should I be mugged, I would like to use the police / if my house burns down, I'd like to use the fire brigade. And consultations from specalists, GP Visits, investigations; because I can't put a figure to that. Although I don't use schools, but thats not to say I don't gain from them eaither.

I'm also excluding my parent's contribution, because its also untangable, but should be considered.

I'm not sure how to calculate that I'm a home-owner too, who has 10 years living on a rent that I've essenchally paid myself (again, putting into the system indirectly) and a year of being a home-owner.

Although I have tried, I've never successfully gotten any 'benefits' in any guise its been over my adult life.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
without the treatment
Now let's say I didnt' get the treatment, and forgetting that my parents would step forward....I would be relient on The System completly. I would have :-

- The same GP appointments,
- probably more consultations as I'd need to be seen more reguarly.
- more hospital admissions
- housing benefit as I wouldn't be able to work.
- Whatever they're calling "sick pay" at the time
- I wouldn't be paying anything into The System that I'm paying now.
- I wouldn't be adding to the economy with frivilous spending.
- I would require more goverment services in the respect of admin of sorting out these benefits.
- The humanitarian point of view of letting someone get ill.
