NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said the error was due to a computer glitch at two city GP practices. When GPs selected anti-smoking pill Zyban, computers selected sildenafil, the generic name for Viagra. A health board spokeswoman said: "At no time was patient care affected by this as all prescriptions are subject to stringent double checking." The e-Formulary computer system used by GPs automatically selects a list of the most popular drugs when doctors fill out prescriptions. Some patients went to the pharmacy with a prescription for the anti-impotence drug instead of tablets to help them stop smoking. The health board was made aware of the problem on Tuesday and alerted all its GPs to the problem. It is not thought anyone left a chemist with the wrong medication. A health board spokeswoman said: "A computer glitch was discovered by two Glasgow GP practices that use the Glasgow e-Formulary, following a recent update of the online GPass system used throughout Scotland. "As a precaution an advisory e-mail and memo was issued to all practices which use GPass and have installed the e-Formulary to alert staff." E-mail this to a friend Printable version

Requiem aeternam Translation:

I completed my first triathlon competition!!!!

500m swim, 21k cycle, 5km run.

 

 I swam as fast as I could and cycled as hard and as fast as my legs and new bike would take me. I think I was in the top 6 for the second transition but sadly my success up until that point counted for little. I fell off my new bike in the changeover from cycle to run. That was when it started to fall apart for me. For the whole of the run I was feeling so sick my diaphragm hurt. I really struggled to run the final 5 km but crossed the finish line in 1hour and 30mins. I just wasn’t prepared enough for the final leg. I’m really disappointed because I was 20 minutes off the fastest time. So many people ran past me seemingly with ease I was gutted.

 

I went back to Ireland for a holiday this year, its been over 5 years since I was there last. We stayed in Co Tipp and spent lots of time visiting family and freinds.

Obviously I took my bicycle and was able to get out and enjoy the country. I met with a couple of guys from a cycle club based in Nenagh and they took me on a 50km route around the Silvermine mountains, Loch derg, Portroe, Newtown and Arra mountains. Fanastic. Some steep hills and very fast downhill sections.

I also cycled from Roscrea via Sinrone and Clocjordan to Nenagh. Very quiet roads (50km). The shortest ride was Nenagh to Borrisokane but still as good. It was soo nice to cycle and not feel threatened by other road users like cars, lorrys, tractors etc.

My photos from the holiday are in the albums but I havn't gotten round to sorting/labeling them yet...

 

 

Well where to start.

I sang at the Royal Albert hall last month it was as awesome just like last year. But i was not in the mood to celebrate as i had to get back to Enfield for a friends wake. Rudi died on his motorcycle on his way home from work. The funeral was difficult and my prayers are with his family and partner Louise. He was a diamond geezer who will be remembered lovingly by all. Rudi rock n rest in peace dude.

My training was going well until the DSS screwed about with my income. There fuckup has left me skint for the last few weeks now, so am glad I’m working again but if this continues I feel I could easily slip back into old bad habits.

Before I had to suspend my membership to the gym I had completed the gym challenge a second time beating my time by 3 mins. You try Running 5 kilometers then Rowing 2 Kilometers and straight onto the exercise bike for a final 10 Kilometers. As quickly as possible. My best time was 52mins total. J That won me £30 in vouchers.

My mate Ralph had his graduate fashion show last night and it was great. The designs were lovely and I know how much effort he put into his work. After the show we headed to Leicester square for a couple of pints before going clubbing. We had a good night out in London before we both fell asleep on the wrong night bus home. A 30 min walk to the correct bus stop is not a good idea when the suns coming up and we were still drunk lol.

Well apart from all that life must continue, I donate blood again tomorrow,  my uncle is having a civil partnership service on Friday and I will be away this weekend for cub district/90 years camp.

Thanks to my Mum, Nan and Aunt for all your support in the last few weeks.
