For newcomers

At the bottom of each post there is the word "comments". If you click on it you will see comments made by followers, and if you follow the instructions you may also comment and I always welcome that. I have found many people overlook this part of the blog which is often more interesting than the original post!

My blog nick-name is SIR HUGH. I'm not from the aristocracy - my middle name is Hugh which relates to the list of 282 hills in Scotland compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. I climbed my last one (Sgurr Mor) on 28th June 2009

Darlington hospital discharge lounge

Hardly an eclectic selection of reading matter in the discharge lounge.

  1. Hi Conrad,

    If you get an opportunity before you leave, I wouldn't mind knowing the story behind Michelle's "shock weight loss". I'll re-post it on some of the other blogs (I'm sure that would be most welcome).

    Seriously, good to see that things seem to be going in a favourable direction...

  2. Dave - whilst I acknowledge that is a matter of great importance I have tto investigate " Steph blasts Jez", and to give that the in depth attention it deserves my remaining time here will be taken up. Sorry to disappoint.

  8. Oh my goodness, Sir Hugh! I've missed the past two weeks due to end-of-the-semester overtime work. I've just gone back through the your past posts and hope you feeling much better at this point. I shall drink an ale in your honour tonight and toast your return to full health soon!

  9. All - I normally reply to all comments individually, but typing with one finger on the wrong hand on the iPad is discouraging. But a heartfelt thanks to all, without comments blogging would be pointless. Note I am still iPadding. Before I departed my Mac desktop had to go to have some evil malware removed. I have been asking daughter to chase the guy up whilst I was off. His latest reply on the day of my return was "it's on the bench," which echos with "we've got some coming in," our driver's been off poorly," " pour branch in Puddletown may have one," etc. And now we have a bank holiday which is welcome to many but just a nuisance to we retirees.

  10. Even though it's a Mac try Malwarebytes - the paid version. It occasionally gives false positives and picks up things like PUPS (potentially unwanted programmes) as well as blocking malicious websites. The paid version actively monitors when you're online and of course there is a full scan facility. Quarantine and removing of male wars is easy. I'm fairly sure there is a Mac version.

  11. Afoot - thanks for that but it is in the hands of my computer man now. I have Sophos on the Mac and Bull Guard on the partioned Parallells PC. I'm not sure what you call my Problem. I think it is Scarewear. A screen stopping you doing anything else with a male voice telling you to use the telephone number on thhe screen. Despite closing down, re-starting, attempting Force Quit etc I just couldn't shift it. It came back every time.

  12. Worrying Conrad since there are different types of scareware I believe - though I'm no expert. Shame your security software didn't pick it up. Good luck with getting it fixed.

  13. Good God.

    I have been catching up with your hospital exploits Conrad. How you remained so sanguine about it all I will never know!

    It sounds like the outcome may eventually be positive, Sir.
    All the very best to you,
    Alan

  14. Alan S - good to hear from you. Any sanguinity on my part I reckon is born from my naïveté at comprehension of the reality.
