Blogging

I have never really thought that it was worth me doing a blog. I always thought that I wouldn't know what to say. But then I thought, why not start a blog and see what I can think of writing on it. Hence here is my blog and here is me trying to think of something to say.

I have just read a news article which gave me a reason to be glad that I do not live in Wales still. A man had to be taken to hospital in a fire engine as all the local ambulances were busy. The incident took place in Maesteg which is in central south Wales so it wasn't like it happened in rural mid or west Wales. And it wasn't like the man just broke a leg - he was stabbed and a man has been charged with attempted murder.

I congratulate the fire service for their actions but what state does the NHS in Wales have to be in for this to happen? Maybe they shouldn't be heavily subsidising prescriptions charges (everyone over 60 and under 25 get them free, everyone else only has to pay £3) and should charge like in England. In my 4 years at uni, I got all my prescriptions for free. I made sure that I got my hayfever medication for the summer months before I left to go home so I didn't have to pay for it. I see this exercise of low subscriptions charges as pure buttering up of the public so they don't think the health service in Wales is that bad. All that it is doing is starving an already underfunded NHS. I may well be missinformed but it is my opinion.

And thats my rant over! And that is my first blog post over! I will be blogging on anything I see that amuses me or riles me and gets my blood boiling. Or anything else fun.

Ciao.
