No love for nurses and other mid-week news

rex_821165q.jpgThe country has gone PC craaaaaaaaazy again. Nurses are banned from using terms like "dearie" and "hello love". It's disrespectful apparently. Blimey. If that's the case, can all cab drivers in London stop it as well? I love it when we all go PC crazy.

More news silliness after the jump.

  • Kate Moss got pissed. Again. Y'know, I could write that EVERY DAY and it would still be true. Same goes for Amy Winehouse.
  • Wonderful, sexy, wonderful, sexy, David Tennant had to use a REAL skull in Hamlet. That's horrid. I'm very creeped out by this.
  • Dita Von Teese strips for German Playboy. It's a bit trashy, but she still looks stunning.
  • Jourdan Dunn is named model of the year. Hooray for all that walking in a straight line! I'm not mocking, I fell over doing that in Charing Cross station this morning.
  • The bans on happy hours are kicking in next week. Bugger. In that case, I'll have my own happy hour party tonight. Oi! Gordon Brown! Stop ruining my fun! Don't make me resort to Asda Smart price vodka. I'm not that kind of lady.
  • Teacher gets told off at for being on Facebook during school time. The kids were probably busy texting each other anyway.

Wow, look it's nearly lunchtime. I'm off to annoy the people in Pret by being indecisive about salad.

    Too right, Siany. And perhaps concentrating on doing their jobs properly rather than wasting energy memorising 100 names a day because they're not allowed to use generic terms!

  • It's so silly. I don't mind either way if they're saying it or using my name. I would mind if it was used in a patronising way, but for goodness sake, don't we have more important things to worry about.

    How about, instead of worrying about the way they speak, people work out ways to ensure nurses are paid what they're deserve?

    The nurse thing makes me so sad! The last (male) nurse I saw for a blood test called me 'love' and it made the whole thing far less scary. I am a wuss, but I sort of like to think the person who's about to stab me with a needle has some human compassion.
