In this mornings Daily Mail there is a full page advertisement from Specsavers in which they are promoting free glasses to NHS customers.
Leaving aside the fact that all citizens of the UK are NHS "customers" I will not be going to Specsavers.
What they mean is all NHS customers who are entitiled to NHS glasses support wil be entitled to free glasses which is another matter all together.
So why will I not be going to Specsavers? Simply because Specsavers are not paying for these glasses all their other customers are!
I know it sounds mean but I am already paying over the odds to the NHS so why should I be expected to pay further to promote Specsavers?
Let's have a joke. What's the difference between a businessman and a dog? The businessman wears a suit, the dog just pants.

The new Endobarrier
This new Endobarrier sounds interesting.
It is a plastic tube which is inserted down the throat and through the stomach and tricks the patient's body into feeling full.
This is supposed to be very useful for those with type 2 Diabetes as it causes the gut to release a hormone which increases the body's use of insulin and lowers blood sugar levels.
On tests it has been found to help patients lose up to a fifth of their body weight.
Call me a cynic but you could probably lock up the patient and ensure that they had good excercise and ate the right foods in the correct quantities! Would be just as successful but hey would not conform to their human rights!
Joke for today:- Did you hear about the gypsy who won the lottery? He got paid in travellers cheques.
On this day:- 1st January
Every year there are celebrations!
In 1959 Castro toppled Cuban dictator
In 44BC Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calender
