Ref posting 06/01/12 and 07/01/12,
Evening Geoff/Tony Dowman,
Having researched the good ship "TBSLand" the Grimm Reaper ala Tony G decided to early retire, after 36 years of EBMEing, 4 days before the TUPE date from [ mainly ] Bournemouth Nuffield Hospital To TBS.
Have spent a year of "when the sun shines, and its warm" venture into the real world, and when it`s cold and damp, decorating and servicing the other womman in my life, the 1949 Landrover. I miss the banter of being in charge of all of the medical equipment at Bournemouth, especially the Theatre staff,
Tis rumoured that the good ship "TBSLand" have has 3 captains at Bournemouth Nuffield to replace me, in the 13 months since I jumped ship [the last one expiring after 5 days ].
Yes I have been asked to return by the Bournemouth Nuffield Admiral, but having worked in Nigeria,Saudi and Kenya and UK, I thought of VSOing, or EBMEing etc in Uganda or Ethiopia but VSO/ODA/ others wants a BSC instead of HNC, and IPEM or VRCT membership instead of 36 years experience..so that`s it then..Always on Holiday.
Halas.
