uk joke nhs..............?

Lady rings her local hospital and this conversation follows:

Lady - Hello I'd like some information on a patient, Mrs Tiptree. She was admitted last week with chest pains and I just want to know if her condition has deteriorated, stabilised or improved?

Hospital - Do you know which ward she is in?

Lady - Yes, ward P, room 2B

Hospital - I'll just put you through to the nurse station

Nurse - Hello ward P, how can I help?

Lady - I would just like some information on a patient, Mrs Tiptree, I was wondering if her condition had deteriorated, stabilised or improved?

Nurse - I'll just check her notes. I'm pleased to say that Mrs Tiptree's conditioned has improved. She has regained her appetite, her temperature has steadied and after some routine checks tonight, she should be well enough to go home tomorrow.

Lady - Oh that's wonderful news, I'm so happy, thank you ever so much!

Nurse - You seem very relieved, are you a close friend or relative?

Lady - No, I'm Mrs Tiptree in room 2b. Nobody tells you f**k all in here

    *(Sorry, couldn't resist! )

    It's true, though. NHS doctors hardly tell you anything!

    Immigration schemes are much more complex than the "bus stop conversation" answer. Normally Governments do not cater for the interests of anybody, not only of their own citizens, therefore in allowing immigration flows there are a number of benefits for the Governments and maybe in the long run also for the citizens. I understand the frustration but please keep in mind that immigration has always happened since the very beginning of the human race. In England, for example, the Anglo-Saxons, were tribes who came from Germany in the 5th century. Before there were the Romans, followed by a multitude of different people from all the possible races. We think at the NHS and the Council Houses and benefits, but remember that each of this immigrant will spend that money in UK services and goods that will help the economy. Also, each service and good carries with it VAT and other taxes that go back to the Government somehow. Finally, it is more expensive a day of war than 1,000 immigrants per year. The current UK government is a quite valid government in a VERY difficult time, however, I would suggest to contact your local MP to get more adequate clarifications.

    These are better:

    after numerous rounds of "we don't know if bin laden is still alive" Osama decided in his own hand writing to let him know he was still in the game

    bush opens the letter and it appears to contain a secret coded message 370HSSV-0773H

    bush was baffled, so he typed it out and e-mailed it to colin powell, colin and his aides have no clue either so they send it to the CIA, months went past USA was put on red alert the country was placed in a state of self imposed curfew. So it went to NSA then to MIT, NASHA and to the special secret service. Eventually they asked Britian's MI6 for help. they cabled the white house "tell the president he is looking at the message upside down."

    ooo man my all time favorite one

    a guy a new sports car and starts speeding down the highway. cop tries to pull him over, but the guys keeps going, thinking "he'll never catch me in this car" . after a while, reality sets in and he can't believe he's doing this, so he pulls over. when the cop comes up, he's very angry he tells the guy that he's had a very long day he is at the end of his shift, and writing up this incident would take another hour, so if the guy can give one good reason why he didn't pull over, he'll let him go. guy thinks a while then says "my wife let me last week for a cop and i thought you were him trying to give her back". cop stifles a laugh and

    says "have a nice day"

    • ok, so there are these three girls, a redhead, a brunette, and a blonde( no offense to blondes, by the way)

    They r running from the police and come across three sacks, one filled with puppies, one with kittens, and one with potatoes. (dont question the sacks) So the brunette hides in the puppy sack, the redhead hides in the kitten sack, and the blonde, of course, hides in the potatoes. The police come and kick the puppy sack, and the brunette says "arf, arf" so they move on. They kick the kitty sack and the redhead goes "meow" so they move on. Then they kick the sack with the potatoes, and the blonde goes "PO-TA-TO!!!"

    yeah, guess who got caught.
