Hewitt Blew-it!

Just back from London after getting all political. Most unlike me, but one has to show support for those in my profession who are being screwed by the new medical training system - apart from the ridiculous application system that is no longer based on experience and CV, but on PC waffle, there is the fact that 30,000 will be applying for 24,000 jobs, when the NHS desperately needs them (like nurses and other allied professions who are also unable to find work that they've been trained for). It's disgraceful, for more information see here. So, 12,000 or so of us descended upon London to parade about like extras from "Scrubs" and it was all good fun in the name of a worthy cause. Afterwards there were a load of speeches, and David Cameron turned up to show his support (and canvass for a few votes probably), but fair play to him as Labour have overseen the whole fiasco and declined to send someone along as they knew they'd get lynched.

Afterwards we went for some dinner and stuff, then it was back to North London again to see another friend, ended up having a quiet night, out for dinner then playing 1980s name that tune DVD game which was quite fun, although I'm rubbish at the early 80s stuff as it was a bit before my time. Wham and stuff I'm fine on though! Spent today not doing much, my parents are off on holiday so I didn't have to go back home for Mother's day, so we watched a DVD (the History Boys - definitely recommended although I didn't realise it had such a sad ending) and then I had to make a pie for lunch which was very nice. Off to bed now I think, got builders coming tomorrow hopefully to sort out my damaged plastering, then I can finally get on with redecorating my bedroom.
