We do agree occasionally.

Quote: Nigel Kelly @ November 27 2008, 1:56 PM GMTA doctor who failed to spot Baby P's broken ribs and back during an examination has been suspended by the General Medical Council (GMC).
Dr Sabah Al-Zayyat missed the injuries days before the 17-month-old boy died in a blood-splattered cot following abuse from his mother, her boyfriend and their lodger Jason Owen.
The GMC said its Interim Orders Panel had decided to suspend Dr Al-Zayyat's registration.
"Investigations are ongoing and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage," it said.

About time. No consolation to Baby Peter of course.

I'm not saying you're not a vaguely embarrassing member of the middle-class who ocassionally lets the side down...

There's no shame in that.
If you lot were really middle class instead of wannabe scum, you would know that it is actually termed Houses of Parliament Sauce - or HP for short.

Talking of moronic GPs, I took my 6 year old to the doctors because he'd had a cold and was now coughing up dark green horribleness. The doc was a very young Asian guy, obviously straight out of med school. I asked if he thought it was a chest infection. He said...and these were his exact words... "There's no such thing as a chest infection. It's asthma."
He tried to prescribe him an asthma inhalor but I refused. My son does not have f**king asthma. Anyway I made an another appointment with a different doctor and told him what his colleague had said. He just shook his head, sighed, and prescribed my son some antibiotics for his chest infection. It cleared up in two days.
Amazing.

Thanks for not really understanding my joke. That probably makes you lower middle class.

Little hint: best way to annoy somebody is to take everything they say literally. Never fails to wind them up.

Backtracking to avoid loss of face amongst your chosen peer group - definitely lower middle class.
