We help the people of Newham.

One of these people has seen fit to ‘tag’ one of our ambulances with grafitti.

This means that the ambulance will be taken off the road so that it can be cleaned.

This will cost money.

It will also remove an ambulance from the road.

This means an ambulance might get delayed coming to a call.

I hope it is a call to the ‘tagger’, and I hope that they are in a great deal of pain.

Tosser.

Another fine post from Bill Stickers today, as he writes about saving the life of a driver.

See how far you get through the post before you can guess a diagnosis, Bill’s writing is so clear I guessed what it was once he described the patient.

As I mention in a comment on this post, it’s a good thing that he came along when he did, as without him acting ‘outside of protocols’ the driver would now be dead.  It’s good to see someone making an effort for the sake of another human being.

Congratulations Bill!

I’ve finished the first draft of ‘Da Book’ and have sent it off to the publishers who will no doubt return it with lots of red marking all over it and a huge letter from the lawyers asking for a thousand and one changes.

I’m still not satisfied with it though – especially the introduction.

Oh well…

I’m also a fair bit nervous, will my publishers like it?  Will they laughingly throw it in the bin?  Will I look like a complete idiot with ideas above my station?  Who knows – the die has been cast.

My hands are now soaking in a bucket of ice and dreading the thought of a second/third/fourth draft.

Time for a little relaxation before I head off to work.
