    I've been Money Tipped!
    I'd definitely be going weekday.

    How massive is it? If I bought an old woman trolley and just paced myself (which I can do because planning on going alone so not slowing anyone down) .

    On a good day on level down I can usually walk all day. Its the right leg that might slow me down, and the traveling before. If I just pace myself though...

    I've not been before, but have free MSE tickets this year :money:
    I'm dragging along my friend with an interest in garden and interior design on a weekday as I was too slow to get weekend tickets....

    If you want I'll pm you the date if you would like to potentially meet up/ avoid us :)

    I'm going to be a bit restricted on dates because of dog care etc. i also have an event here at the end of the month and really should be focusing all energy on that not enjoying myself!

    I think my best bet is to see what I can do about a ticket and date stuff. I'll think about this tomorrow.

    My darling Mama likes almost everyone, and seeks the best in them.

    She makes an exception for gynaecologists, though. She firmly believes that men only become gynae specialists because they dislike women. I remember her turning an interesting shade of purple when we were in Greece and a gynae doctor also on the holiday opined over dinner, "show me a teenage girl who says she has problem periods and I know the real issue; she had a problem mother."


    I almost always prefer male doctors though. They are more direct and less wishy washy which is my style. I've never really had a good relationship with a female doctor!

    No obligation either way :)

    Edit: and we're restricted on dates as we've had to book the day as leave

    I've (fortunately) not had a great deal to do with either type, but I don't think I've any preference.

    OH and I shared a flat with a wonderful women who was a medical student and then a doctor - she lived with us for 6 years in total, and I think she must be a brilliant doctor, not a wish or a wash in her.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    One of dh's aunt is either brain or heart surgeon (I cannot remember tonight which :eek::o) She is so airy fairy washy washy I'd be terrified to let her operate on me. Luckily after a rocky start she and I made a common bond over a shared gardening interest ( she also shows and judges roses and was amazed I knew a rose variety as we wandered down a road in London....funny the odd things that change people's opinion of one...apparently that meant I passed muster after all) . I send her pictures of the roses sometimes and she tells me I've bought the wrong ones, :rotfl:
