Maybe you should host a lesson here on the TG? Or at least provide some resources on how it works. The OPs are at least making an effort. How else are they to improve if their mistakes aren't constructively corrected?

I did honours I just forgot a lot of it

i havent experienced this
everyone seems to be fairly blase about it here and ive walked within 2 metres of a few middle aged women when walking the dog and theyve all said hi

There's a certain amount of tangible contribution in the nuts and bolts jobs in the HSE that a lot of make-work/status striver fake jobs don't make. But like everything else there's plenty of crooks milking it.
Most of the so-called "discourse" in this country about anything falls into either American spillover (the use of the term "healthcare" being one), English spillover, or what the NGO quango class in this country is paid to say/needs to say to prop themselves up. Given how dire America's medical sector is, it's mostly the latter two categories that talk about the HSE would fall into.
In a general sense, governments with heavy involvement in the medical sector definitely gain from propaganda bigging up its importance, because if the Acronym is an unambiguous Good, the government must surely deserve thanks and praise for it.
But England in particular has a culture that is pretty deranged about praising the NHS, probably as both a national symbol for a doubly anti-national entity, and also as a post-imperial symbol of a "superior" society. Even bleeding heart "remoaner" types who aren't wistful for mowing down stone agers on the other side of the world with machine guns (unless it's for feminism and gay rights) want to imagine England as the peak of civilisation, and imagining the NHS as simultaneously panacea for social problems and inequality, and better in an intangible way to every other advanced country's medical bureaucracy does that for them.

Most people are fairly blasé about it alright (some people too much so), but I've had this particular experience with multiple middle-aged women in my neighbourhood lately. Last week one of them came to a stop and pressed herself up against the wall to maximise the distance between us. I'm walking on the edge of the footpath and on the road where possible, so I am certainly making an effort on my part.

This is bang on. The peak of this was when they included a tribute to the NHS in the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.

They had the NHS defeat a giant "Voldemort"

ya definitely
since it was the first free public healthcare system introduced after ww2 they view it as a symbol of their glorious past which is an integral part of their identity
whenever they praise it theyre stroking their national ego

I have a few relatives who have worked as nurses in the UK. While the NHS is certainly fantastic and world class in a lot of ways, from what I've heard it does have systematic and cultural problems that are rarely talked about in the public domain. And whenever a problem with the NHS does go public, it's usually blamed on government underfunding or some other cause that can be indirectly attributed to the government.

Proud to say I haven't left the grounds of my property in over five weeks I'd say.

Such as?

It's also pretty funny they treat it as a hoky moralistic innovation when the infrastructural groundwork was laid by WW2 and the economic rationale provided by Keynesianism.

>when the infrastructural groundwork was laid by WW2
How so?

Having massive medical infrastructure within the country organised and paid for by the government.
War is good for the medical industry, after all.

If they reopen schools and i have to go back to this god forsaken plc i'm going to commit seppuku.

What games do you have in mind?

sucking a golfball

Through the Ages

I've never heard of it. What kind of game is it?

One of my housemates in uni was a student nurse and would go work at the hospital hungover on 3 hours of sleep, so no, absolutely not.
Fuck the HSE.

It's originally a board game. Sorta strategy Civilisation-like. Build buildings, research stuff, recruit units, attack other players etc.
Has a nice bit of depth to it, just played it yesterday for the first time.

Only a 100MB download and the tutorial sorta covers everything, so would recommend trying that and see if you would like it.

It's hard to make out from the screenshots and videos, at least that's what I found. Had to play it myself to get a proper feel for it.

what are plcs like?
