What did the CA say

at the start of tonight’s TA?

It can’t really have been “Jazzer’s got a famous arse”. Or can it?

I think it was “Jazzer’s got a favour to ask”, but I might be wrong.

That would make sense (disappointing though, by comparison).

The enunciation of BBC announcers had gone sadly downhill these days. Well either that or my hearing.

I had a hearing test today which revealed (to them; I already knew this) that my hearing is just fine, thank you, though I probably wouldn’t be able to hear bats any more.

This is all part of their determined effort not to allow me to know that the symptoms I have, which are the same as the ones four years ago and the ones nine years ago and the ones in 1998, would probably respond to the same treatment as on previous occasions, to wit, a course of antibiotics. This was discovered the first time when I had such a course prescribed by a dentist for a serious toothache-cum-root-canal happening at the same time, and the dizziness went away as well as the swelling in my mouth. But no, the doctor I saw this time – not my usual one, who mostly listens to what I say – knew ever so much better, and for the last four or five months I have been seeing specialist after specialist, and telling each one in turn what my experience has been…

Argh.

Quite a restrained response, under the circumstances. Either a much longer scream in large bold type or (preferably) an act of violence would be more appropriate, I feel.

I was so nice to one of them that she described me in her letter to my GP as “lovely”; I liked her too, and it wasn’t her fault that she is a rhinologist and my problem is in my ears, so I had been sent to quite the wrong place!

No dinner jackets, either…
