We’re All Entitled to Post Here
by Rubyred (some years ago, on this very same message board here . . . . . )
Fu/ck I put up ditties about my bloody mother in law,
Yeah I can do better and yeah I can write.
But I come here to free the mind,
Not to tie it in knots and ponder if its good enough,
We might never be the next Alexander Pope and John Keats,
But Hell I think we are better and more open
Than some o the pish and so called classic co.ck juice
Written by some privileged eejit while real men were scrubbing their floors !
.
beautiful
– because Beauty is Truth –
and wise to those who have years, fears and tears, and also ears that can hear still.
Thank you Cath.

Now, as I sink in sleep,
My heart is cut down,
Nothing—poetry nor love—
Achieving.*
Turns again in my room,
The crippled leopard.
Paw-pad, configured
Yellow light of his eyes,
Pass, repass, repass.
Quiet, my hand; he is tame.
Soon, while I dream, will step
And stir the sunken dawn.2
Before I woke there entered in
A woman with a golden skin
That tangled with the light.
A tang of orchards climbed the stair
And dwindled in the waxen air,
Crisping the midnight,
And the white pillows of my bed
On apple-tasted darkness fed.
Weakened with appetite
Sleep broke like a dish wherein
A woman lay with golden skin.@momentaryloss wrote:
I understand that the NHS Trust involved was “supporting” the member of staff.
A breach of confidentiality is gross misconduct and can lead to a member of staff being sacked, as well as a referral to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), which can result in removal from the register.
Public servants appear to be public enemy number one at the moment with politicians and the media calling for sackings every time a mistake is made. The management of the Trust would have been aware of this and would have been expecting serious repercussions, despite the fact that this was clearly a matter of dishonesty on the part of the DJs. (Indeed playing such a tape on radio is an offence both here and in Australia if the participants do not consent to it being played.)
The NHS has one of the most brutal management cultures in the UK, goaded on by politicians eager to make political capital. In what way was this member of staff was made explicitly aware of the situation, and the consequences for both her and the Trust (as a nurse she would have known this any case)?
In such a situation, where she clearly was at risk of losing her job and her career, I wonder how “supportive” her employers were in practice, and what effect her dilemma had on her mental state. Only the Trust and the poor woman herself will ever know the answers to these questions and sadly she is now dead.
This is not just a case of someone who made a decision because she was embarrassed by the publicity.
So who exactly is to blame?
Reading on, . . . . . . . .all seems ok now.
Momes resonates, and would be a big loss to this site.

Jen, you need to explain the joke first.

she did not have enough reason to take that ultimate and tragic step.
Fact.So . . . . . . . . it was obviously black Charlie from the drain pipe, in timely catburglar fashion, as Camilla threw oats from the wheelie-bin below and ate quite a few herself. You people. Most of you have surely watched Pacino, and yet still refuse to recognise the truth of how things really are.
It’s a good job I’m here.

looked all over the supermarket for a . . . . .strong, manly, black font . . . . . . . to no avail.
Can I not just pop in proudly with some sense of irony, the ghostly banshee cries of aborted babies, and a packet of frozen peas ?
Why must it all be about presentation with you masculine types ?
. . . . pops out just as proudly :lol:
not exactly , there must surely have been a lot of underlying reasons and/or instability for what happened, besides the answering of a phone call.
To which I am sympathetic.
