TEN

What follows is something I scribbled out in one of my many notebooks, paper based ones, a couple days back. I have done this a great deal lately.

Also I have regained an old Internet connection, due to the crap I have gone through with Virgin Media. I will add and will post up today details of the Virgin Media fiasco with their god awful complaint reply as well as yet another figure for the bill that is different to the other four … err or was it five? No it was four as it went from … ooh wait a minute … £40 to £124 twice then £140 once and then £93 twice and now it is £123 … err or £122. I think?! Anyway the point it it is (counting) four, now five out of seven bills for the same bill date.

Do not forget the three different bill dates of the 3^rd, 9^th and 12^th September!

Yeah, who is going to set up a direct debit for a company like that?! No one with any common sense, that is for sure! In fact it is my belief that they should not be ALLOWED to set up direct debits when they have no obvious clue as to how much or when it should be paid! Bad enough if just one or the other but … BOTH?!

As I said I will get to that briefly in a following post.

This will be followed by another post on a later date that will, or should, be taken as a positive/conclusive sign to all that has gone before.

So yeah, due to the fiasco my Internet has been on and off, umm worse than it was under Virgin Media anyway. Now it is on … sort of, but this is only a temporary measure before I get a strong and solid landline again from a company that seems to know what they are doing? According to one member of my family that is not BT either, which was one of my early choices. Main choice at one stage.

Also I will add that someone I spoke to yesterday that was a previous customer of Virgin Media suddenly said something in our conversation about them … “I TOLD you not to go with them, DIDN'T I?!” I could only reply “YES, you did and I should have taken your advice”

See? I do have and admit to my mistakes. Lol.

However what with me being only one of three computer experts I know, with one other not seen for many years unfortunately and now retired and the other nearby I simply kept forgetting about and lost his contact details when I did, FIBROFOG. So really out of the regular people I am the only computer specialist. Anyone that knows their IT would know that most of the time you simply cannot go by people's descriptions of computer and Internet problems.

Added to this was my belief that any IT and Internet provider simply could not exist being as bad as was described. Even if it was described like this by many! Though in my defence I do know two others that are still with Virgin Media and they have not had difficulties this bad. One is a family member and one a local friend. I have not been contacted by either one regarding any connection problems but this does not mean to say that there weren't any.

Also I would not be told about billing discrepancies either.

Speaking of IT I have the time to do this because I am waiting for the delivery, via Amazon, of a computer motherboard as I am rebuilding a friend's computer. This is likely to turn up between 1pm and 3pm so I am going to lose a day more or less. Except that I am not.

You see I have to now prepare for something I have been waiting for for the best part of five months, though could be six.

It is that I have alluded to for so very long a time now.

Yes the main one everyone is waiting for, or at least the majority that have been aware it is coming and admittedly it might have seemed of late that it will not arrive at all?

That was really never on the cards. It could get delays after delays but it was in a position and being handled by the Supreme Court whereby it case being buried would not be able to be explained away.

Now of course I was suspect of the news industry for a long time and also led them into traps to make them look guilty of certain things. Even so and even if I have been bang on the money, as my correspondence with them made it look, this would still take some ignoring. Self destructive to everyone within the industry, you might say?

So here is the little post I typed out the other day while waiting to see my GP regarding a Systolic Blood Pressure reading of 188 and a Diastolic reading of over 110. Oh and with the flu. I also just realised I had intended to have a conversation about my back pain! DAMN IT!!

Oh and I also got to mention the finality of my ongoing situation which he has known about since I registered with him. He simply went wide eyed and said “REALLY?!” to which I nodded and he said “Well that is fantastic news!”

No, this is something I am still holding back on but which I have been alluding to right here and is also the reason for the blog post title above this post.

Are we getting there yet?

In between typing posts and documents I will be laying siege to my house and putting things into little boxes and storing them right out of the way. Everything across the entire house leaving only a couple of big items to be dealt with later in the week or next weekend. In preparation for a date in the NOT so distant future.

THE WRITTEN POST …

OOPS!

I mislaid one of my pens! My Parker Premium Rollerball and hopping I have not lost the damn thing! (I didn't).

It might be seen as expensive for a pen by some but it is effortless to use for prolonged periods which is something I have difficulty with.

The title I have come up with for this post might seem mysterious but then it is intended to be so.

Right now I am in the waiting room of my GP's surgery and was not expecting to be here at all or indeed see him again for a few months after recent events. This will, however, be the last time I see him in person for at least 7 weeks.

I wonder at this point whether the title of this post will be sinking in to many of the blog posts readers?

The countdown is not only final now but is well into its length and it started out with the number of 21. A numbered period I had not foreseen but am most thankful for.

I should also like to point out that along with the odd recent events of being first recognised by someone I had never met before, for the second time I might add, but also hearing our law firm went bust the same day, some legal papers posted to me have gone missing.

This is the first time in 8.5 years that normal post has gone missing!

I was asked by the sender today if I had received them yet and I told them “No but I am now wondering if they were … intercepted?” and they replied that they had wondered the exact same thing.

I am currently waiting for my GP due to my ever fluctuating blood pressure and a reading of 188 for Systolic blood pressure after only taking readings for two days. The diastolic was around 111 too.

The sender of the letters also stated it was not the first time this had happened and I forgot to ask them to what others they were referring to.

Also you would note, or rather should note, that within the posts of this blog and a long, long time ago I contacted the Local Government Ombudsman. Oddly they were recently mentioned in the news, how curious is that? I cannot recall a time the LGO were mentioned in the news and I only discovered their existence a few years back.

Two letters and a signed form was sent to them twice, regarding that now handled by the Supreme Court, which they claimed failed to arrive twice. The odds on this are astronomical and in other words foul play simply had to be a factor.

As with all other ombudsman they initially made a lot of noise but then did fuck all, followed by the two posts that failed to arrive. They spoke to me on the phone and made a lot of noise and this will be asy to pinpoint and date as I was at a funeral. In fact I have told about my great grandfather being a test pilot for RAF and AVRO and that he died testing the Avro Manchester to which after his death they added two engines and it became the Avro Lancaster? Yeah I was looking for his grave at the time of the conversation and was in Fleet in Dorset.

Now here is yet another prime example of one of my traps, or more accurately one of my ever complex and intricate plans to expose organisations for what they are.

Hence why I find it odd that they are named in the news recently.

However in just several weeks time many will be asking where in the hell they have been for the last 4 years or more. You may well ask, what does he mean 'four years'? Well four years is the length of time this court case has lasted and the prime candidate of the four for corruption, lies and horrific details that will shock the nation? Well a local council of course!

This is the same local council I contacted them about.

There are another three alongside them and one of these I not only contacted many times regarding all this but I also contacted THEIR ombudsman too!! The IPCC!

The nation will be asking where they have been during the last four years too!

The worst part of it for both these ombudsman and their respective public services will be that with all their size, money and legal teams one guy with nothing came along and ran ever decreasing circles around them!

The gravity of this not hitting home? Will, it should be but let me put this in another way …

In the last 5 years or more how much of the taxes have gone into running each of these organisations? How much did it cost me to beat every single one of them?

And so … VALUE FOR MONEY?!

Lol.

Back to the blood pressure and I purchased as blood pressure monitor because I was asked to and not because of my high blood pressure readings, because I was taken off blood pressure pills Ramipril and Amlodopine, but because my blood pressure was dropping via Postural Hypertension … hmm should that not be Postural Hypotension?

I often collapse upon rising from a crouched position and something from a seated position and have done this for twenty years. But lately it became a lot worse, since losing the use of a car to begin with and then after starting the blood pressure pills. In fact this is why I was taken off them after being told I would be on them for life.

I think I stated recently that my GP took my blood pressure after asking me to stand up? In so doing he was surprised at how much my blood pressure dropped. I pointed out that I did not feel a damn thing so what must the drop be like when I get dizzy, nausea or the blacking out completely?!

He then asked me to buy a blood pressure monitor. Which I did and received, finally, on Sunday 20^th September 2015.

The following Tuesday night I was sitting on the sofa in a friend's house and had put a 32 inch Samsung TV onto their kitchen wall ten minutes earlier. The bracket was already there and the process was simple, just a bit of faffing about getting the TV level. My friend reminded me ten minutes after sitting down that I had wanted to take my blood pressure readings after fitting the TV to the wall and had forgotten. So I did it right their and then and the two of them watched as I looked concerned that instead of the pressure reading around 200 before dropping back on the display it reached something like 260 and I though “hmm … I think this is going to be bloody high?!” before it fell back to the reading of 188. The normal reading, well for Caucasians as it differs from race to race, is around 115 to 120.

DURING AND AFTER THE APPOINTMENT

My GP seems to have forgotten that the BP Monitor was purchased for the law blood pressure reading and he also put me back on Ramipril. Oops! The drug that was causing me to blackout completely just before I do a lot of travelling?!

Well I had just better be careful. Might be better than to have way higher blood pressure than that reading of 180? After all nothing that has happened to me in the last few years will compare in stress levels and energy to what I am about to do for the next couple of months.

I certainly hope I do not find out that all this fucking about is all bout money and an expensive pill that could have remedied the situation? The NHS have enough trouble coming their way already!

Now then, about this damned house?!

Oh crap! No, excellent … the motherboard has turned up earlier than expected! This means I can go out and hand in my prescriptions as well as pick up the CPU cleaner and thermal paste I forgot all about!

Ooh yeah and I have to buy some little fine mist water spray bottles too!

OK so maybe the house might get done tomorrow now?!

But, no! I intend to do do effing something with the house today!! Lol!

I might delay this posting of this because I did not consider business working days in the numbers I was given. Mind you, you think the judge or solicitor would have stated 'working days'?

Well I will know the answer to that one by the end of the next week as a meeting is taking place with the solicitor. Not me, you understand, my 'partner in crime'. Though I am expecting to hear that they want to meet me during this meeting along with talk of the tabloid or TV News Press?

Hmm if it did turn out to be working days and did also need five days to 'clear' then we could be looking at five weeks?! Damn it!! Lol. Well, four more weeks which would take us up to the 28^th October … ish.

Still … there is nothing to say it will not happen sooner … much sooner though I correctly predicted that there would be nothing in the couple of days or first full week, last week, and first half of next week. Well OK it could happen within three days of this post, theoretically, but I am willing to wager it will not.

Oh and yes we know what it is, just in case anyone was wondering. But I will divulge this at a later date due to being a tiny bit superstitious, lol.

Well think about it? We would have had to have been told to have been given the deadline to this all being received. Or rather they have been given the deadline?

What matters right now is that I do have a bit of time to get things in order and prepared. Maybe longer than I thought? Maybe not?

The important thing is that you do not have to wait in suspense for much longer and there are no more extensions to the previous predicted dates.

This is most definitely it.

I, however, well still be inordinately bored and twiddling my thumbs for a bit longer but at least I know now that this is the very last period of time that I am forced to do this!

Oh and I have had the flu too.

Anyone would think you need the patience of a saint?!

HOUSTON, WE MAY HAVE A PROBLEM

Just in case you missed it I have had something else going on as well as smart Policeman who can both recognise me and find me, if this was meant to convey some sort of message I would have missed it. Because I simply do not care. Lol.

Before I explain, or rather remind … err most likely in case I forgot, what is also on my agenda in the coming week I will tell you I just spoke to both landlord and landlady today.

As I was leaving on my bike I bumped into my landlady and said “Oh! I have your rent” where I then returned to my house and explained what had happened with the court case.

She was stunned.

Except just now as I returned from a 9 mile cycle ride I bumped into my landlord and asked how the other house was coming along. The previous tennants had left and he has been doing it up for the last few weeks and putting it back up for rent next week. Rather snazzy job he did to the house I was meant to rent in the beginning. He then asked about the legal case and I said “Didn't Mrs C tell you?”. “No” he replied and then discovered she also had the rent too. Pursuit in progress?! Lol.

As I explained what had happened his jaw dropped open and he leant back against the wall and said what I expected to hear earlier in the day “WHAT?! Solicitors NEVER go bust!”

He immediately suspected something was awry exactly what had occurred as a possibility to both me and my 'partner in crime'.

His wife remarked about things wrong with this country too once she was told of what had happened and was dumbstruck with the timing of this event.

“Nah! Something's wrong!” was what he exclaimed at one point.

It is currently 6.13pm and I have not had anything yet. My landlord said I would not hear now and I explained that while I was on the phone to my 'partner in crime' the secretary to the solicitor tried to call her at 9.30pm approximately.

However I did point out that it was a bank holiday weekend and it was looking to be a very long one to endure and there is nothing to say we will get told anything this coming Tuesday either. Also next week is a short working week so it will be nail-biting to say the least!

This is their idea of stepping to to protect the client's interest?

Make no mistake, just in case the naysayers I know visit here, it states very clearly on the Solicitors Regulatory Authority's website that they act in the best interests of both clients and the British public. I think they even used the word 'protect'?

I have not seen evidence of this thus far and this will be extended by some very awkward few days especially for the recipient of the damages meant to be awarded.

“It is like winning the lottery and then told you haven't!” my landlady said. I said “Or rather like having the cheque for the lottery presented to you and then pulled away at the last minute!”

Anyway that was that on that particular matter.

I shall only add at this point that as far as my back-up plans go, of which I stated there were two, well I suddenly remembered one other one and I have put that one in motion.

This is one particular back up plan guaranteed to make the headlines … if my guess is right but I cannot say when as the carrying out of said plan is out of my hands. I will tell them this … when it comes to IT and computers in general trust me when I say that the Law Industry is utterly clueless in these matters and do not know their arses from their elbows. 'A walk in the park' springs to mind and all this was explained to me by the solicitors practice I acted as PA to in the hour of need.

That's it and that's all.

Now?

I have had something … occur. I am not sure if I mentioned this previously but travelling anyway and without a walking stick is impossible for me for a whole range of reasons.

Now I might have mentioned I collapsed a couple of times recently?

Well at my GP surgery I mentioned this to him as I have mentioned it to various GP's over the last 20 years. He then did something no one else had ever done anywhere and the results totally conflicted with what they had been treating me for!

Now I had recently been diagnosed with hypertension? My blood pressure was very high and the highest reading I got to see, several I had not as well, was 179. I was then placed on Ramipril that had no effect, placed on Amitriptyline which did but I had been feeling very sleepy around 3am each day and had a few blackouts and was put back on Ramipril, which oddly did have some effect?! Yes, weird.

So I had ended up on the floor of a car park as well as the floor of a friend's garden while he was on holiday?

So the GP then took my blood pressure and was shocked to see this had come down and I then remembered I had been doing a few exercises and told him. He then said he wanted me to stand up and take my blood pressure again to see if it drops by much.

It dropped by a lot apparently.

I was then told I would have to have my blood pressure monitored over 24 hours!

I was surprised and said “Really?” He was surprised that I had gone from dealing with a blood pressure of 179, to which he said I would be on the medication for life, to one dropping really low and was causing my blacxk outs and collapsing.

He called this Postural Hypertension and gave me a printout of several pages to read and I said “oh, Patient.co.uk? Yes, I am familiar with their site”

I then explained that I was now very close to booking my tickets way, way out of town. Well he knows my intended destination and has done for a while now. He said they might do it quickly and he was quite correct!

It turns out to be the same day that the solicitors meeting was supposed to happen which was the final one telling us what damages there will be and when, either the same day or 7 to 10 days later.

However I am not stating exactly what this date is or indeed where it is because I do not like to advertise my whereabouts or my movements or routes.

Of course I will do a short post about it when it is over and then again when the GP gets the results.

I remembered making this appointment today after cycling a little over 5 miles and then thought about the readings that will be recorded.

Now the GP picked up on this steep drop in my blood pressure but standing up at the time had zero effect on me. None whatsoever.

But there are times, many times in fact, when I can become anywhere from being light headed and slightly dizzy to a full blown black out with legs starting to buckle! Or indeed on the deck entirely has has happened twice recently. Normally I just crash against magazine racks gripping them tightly with my hands so I don't end up on the floor.

Because it would be embarrassing more so than anything else. Magazine racks? So I am in a store with other members of the public milling about!

This is one of a long list of reasons I carry a walking stick permanently, unless I am cycling that is because nothing ever occurs when I am on a bike.

The other reasons for the stick or not being able to walk properly on the way home sometimes from 6 different areas of pain in my feet, one that occurs in either ankle, right knee can cripple me and then there are the two areas of my back that often are painful.

So a long list then? LMAO!

It's just things I have learned to live with but in recent times often felt I was on a very precarious knife edge with the possibility of something going very wrong?!

I wont go into the several symptoms that would be extremely embarrassing where you would want to die rather than have any of them occur in a public place! LOL!

So I was working out what to do and where to go while I was being monitored? To actually force these black outs so that the monitor records a good drop in my blood pressure so they can gauge how serious it is and what may be causing it.

If I can cause this mass effect blackout while being monitored then hopefully they can get rid of it in some way, something ticked off the list that is constantly on my mind throughout every move I make of every hour of each and every day.

I have been off the blood pressure pills for awhile and cannot recall the last episode I had but then I have not been perusing the magazine racks lately but one magazine is due to come out. The GP stated that the blood pressure pills may cause it but I said …

“No … they may amplify it but I have had this on and off for twenty years. If you look in my records I had a complete blackout I described as a grand mal seizure because when I came to I could feel my arms and legs convulsing. I had also been unconscious for 25 minutes or more but thought I was only out a few seconds.”

This took place in an old friends lavatory. I would have talked about this in the past on here but would have been way, way back. I certainly would have mentioned this in the first year of blogging on here. I only had the blood pressure pills for a few months and those were the last few months.

So I will try to trigger one of these … episodes. I am rather intrigued to see that if I can I am dying to know what the drop in the blood pressure is. Especially when he was surprised at the drop that registered when he tested me and me feeling nothing at all.

I am not sure I will be able to tell myself from the contraption they will fit too me or indeed if they will state anything when it is over 24 hours later and when I give the contraption back?

In which case it will be at least a week later and if I am still here when the results come through I will probably be at my wit's end if I do not possess a travel ticket of some kind?!

LMAO!

Oh what joys British Society and its public services have for you to edure. What an absolute blast it is to deal with these things that are not … err well dealt with appropriately nor efficiently?!

Wait a minute? Was not the sole purpose of this blog to explain to the British public, and anyone else interested, how the money is wasted in this country and what amount of taxpayers money is wasted and how?

Hmm?

LOL!

Here is a scan of the letter requesting that they will try and call me for an appointment … except they had the wrong number for me! I phoned them instead …
