DOCTORS- Next patient please. What do you mean, there aren't any?

[FuzzyCustard]

New thread,

clowdy I hope she's out in time for Christmas

Have just caught up and am stunned by the unprofessional conduct of all the doctors (oh Zara) but pleased Mrs T has found her faith and hopefully her vicar. If the NMC get wind of Ruhma's gift I'm sure there will be trouble, I think I'm over invested.

I'm glad 'getting it in' provided amusement
So sorry about your mum, cloudy.

The hospital mom is in is the opposite of St Phils/ the Mill- loads of patients but no doctors!

So glad Mrs T is back :) and together with lovely Gordon, hopefully.

But Zara and Sid!!!

Another massive Beautiful South fan here! One of my favourite albums of all time is Carry on up the charts, love all the songs, especially Prettiest Eyes and one last love song :)

Merry Christmas everyone, see you in the new year for more Doctors fun (and maybe even some patients...)

It serves Daniel right but with Sid? Really?

Will Winifred and Gordon live happily ever after?

I always thought of Wiggifred as rather happyclappy evangelical church, whereas Gordon looks straight C of E. I wonder if the two will mix not in my experience

Mrs T is definitely not happy clappy evangelical.

i used to be very involved with Chapel at university, I was a chapel clerk, ( was originally a theology college) and a lot of my friends went not to become vicars / priests ( one famously , swapped from Anglican to Catholic , as did his Anglican Vicar dad after many years). I did not do happy clappy, I like my 'smells and bells' but I did meet Graham Kendrick, famous for writing lots of evangelical songs. 'shine ,Jesus, shine'( Which I hate) is one of his.

He visited to sell one of his cassettes. I was too polite to decline. I still have it in the loft.

I went to an evangelical church for a couple of years in my 20s. Opinion was very divided on Shine Jesus Shine, but I too had a cassette and liked some of the other tracks). I never felt totally comfortable in that church though and when I moved to a new town I was quite glad of the excuse to leave.

If only Hestembe had come to be, then Ruhma would have been a here today gone tomorrow character .

Hope your mum makes a speedy recovery Clowdy.

Merry Christmas to all of you, I had drifted away from this thread over the last year or so but am enjoying being back amongst like-minded TV watchers

Haha Raahh at GK cassette, I have a few of those lurking. I'm married to a vicar, we're on the low side of CofE

Mrs T definitely middle of the road, not extreme on either end. I think they'd get along very nicely

Although trying to work out how Gordon could just take over from whatshernamevicar. Unless he's somehow retired, which is unlikely at his age, that doesn't seem a likely scenario. Much more likely that surrounding clergy would take services between them, and lay members of the congregation.

But hey, that would spoil a nice little storyline...

So much hidden religious fervour here! Have caught up with final episode. Have we put up with months of pedestrian storylines for the big Daniel bust-up?also no one has mentioned ruhma getting a message through door to buy her house. Perhaps she isonthe way out after all?

Ooh I love Shine Jesus Shine! We sing it at Mass.

Shine Jesus Shine reminds me of primary school church services when my children were young!

I was born a Methodist but swapped to C of E later.
I can't do "bells and smells" though...apart from preferring things a bit lower, as a chorister the incense gives me asthma!

Happy Christmas all you lovely people!

Soz I keep thinking of Take That's Let it Shine. I don't think I've had the pleasure of the song you're all referencing.

Oh, I do hope that Ruhma's house is going to be sold.

Maybe the Gobby's will buy it?they must be due a move?

Surely she has outlived usefulness now that Heston is gone anyway.

I'm hoping Rhuma gets reported to the gmc for helping the couple out and gets struck off.
That would give us all a marvellous Christmas present.
I'm not religious, ds goes to CofE school, we didn't lie to get him in though.

blame I’m not at all religious either, our catchment school was an excellent voluntary aided CofE primary so that was why our sons went to church often.

My old Rector used to say "I have faith but I'm not religious" and I like that - the "religious" being the man made constructs of faith. Oh that's too deep for Doctors, isn't it!

Hope you all enjoyed you Christmas Day and are not hungover/exhausted!

Hope every one is surviving the post Christmas lull-its never much of a lull here, because it's ds's birthday tomorrow and mine on Sunday. We went to the cinema yesterday to the fantastic beasts film, which I really enjoyed.

We've been listening to all our old vinyl because dd1 got a player for Christmas, and it is very strange.

We also got 2 echo dots.

I'm getting a bit fed up with Alexa . she hasn't much of a sense of humour. I think the Mill should get one. I can imagine Gobby arguing with it.

We got an Alexa last year, we'd given up on it by about March, it's back in its box somewhere now. I can just imagine Gobby putting on inapproprately cheerful music when a patient has had bad news, or yelling at it to organise the blood test results.

I love the 'Twixmas' period, especially as schools broke up quite late so I'm not back until the 7th. Mum came out of hospital on Christmas Eve and today I'm going over to visit my MIL who is 91. She's a hoot!

We're having a lovely restful time. Currently watching "Emma" on telly...I love a bit of Jane Austen. If only she could be Doctors scriptwriter; Ruhma wouldn't stand a chance and would be firmly put in her place immediately.

We had a gorgeous cliff walk yesterday as the sun was shining - it was almost HOT sitting on the bench by the coastwatch lookout. And the a shopping spree in the National Trust shop...next year's Christmas cards sorted!

Happy Birthday raahh and youngraahh

Thank you Fuzzy I am in complete denial that Ds is 16 tomorrow.

(For someone who once said she would never have children how I ended with a) 3 of them, and b)1 that made it that old baffles me! )
