EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Crewton in Unsung NHS Heroes (potentially polical depending on how you read it)
When the NHS kicked off in 1948, all dentistry was free. Demand for false teeth in particular was so high, it would have bankrupt the country, so Atlee's government reluctantly had to limit what dentistry would be free and what would have to be paid for. Nye Bevan resigned over this, but Atlee had little choice.
There is, therefore, a precedent for what @Archiedis suggesting, and I have some sympathy for that view. I wouldn't want to be the person deciding what is free and what isn't, but it's true that the NHS offers far more "elective" treatments than it was initially designed for. We have a simple choice : pay more through tax, or pay for some treatments that are "elective".
A little girl got lifesaving gene therapy treatment the other day. It cost £3m, but I'd say it was worth every penny. I'm happy to pay more through whatever method to ensure little girls like her are saved, because I can afford to, but I know not everyone is able or wishes to. I don't really envy politicians who have to solve that conundrum.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to jono in Harvey White - signed on-loan for rest of the season
I really like the look of him. Very young but has a visible calmness with the ball and doesn’t showboat. Intelligent short passes. I also reckon we’ll see more of him taking free kicks, looks like he knows what he’s doing. I’d like him to start on Saturday

They've kept me alive for the last decade, so perhaps there are pros and cons.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Jourdan in Wycombe Wanderers (A) Sat 11th Feb
We were always bound to have an off day at some point.
This squad has been stretched to its absolute limits and has put together an excellent run despite having to contend with so much.
This should be a good lesson for Warne and the players and should be a great opportunity to refocus and show what we are made of.
My feeling is we’ll bounce back very quickly. 4 of our next 5 games are at home and we have a great chance of going on another winning run.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby got a reaction from Kathcairns in "I would run through brick walls for this club"
Add composure to this. There are so many situations where Bucko would clear row Z, Cashin just gets the ball under control and it starts from there

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Comrade 86 in The 6 Nations & RWC 2023 Thread
Wouldn't surprise me at all to see the French outgun the Irish today. I put up the latter as this year's 6N champions based on home field advantage in this particular game, but the more I look at individual match ups, the more I think the French have the necessary firepower to turn over our Celtic buddies. I'd be ignoring the Italy form line, as the French never turn up against Italy.
Should be an absolute belter in any case.
Allez les bleus!

Similar in terms of heart, but Cash vastly superior in passing, heading and tackling ability.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Crewton in Branko Strupar
One of those signings that could have changed our fortunes at that time, but for a terrible run of injuries. Remember the group of Genk fans who used to come over for our games just to support him? That only happens for players of real character.
Get well soon Branko ?

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Steve Bloomer's Washing in Fer Battallon
NEW PODCAST here:
In our 150th episode, Chris chats to Spanish Rams fan Fernando Batallon, who had his first ever trip to Pride Park for the thrashing of Morecambe, having decided to support Derby in 2019 after playing as them in FIFA Career Mode.
Fernando, who travelled to England for the first time with his six cousins from Lugo, northern Spain, explains why they chose Derby in the first place, what they made of Pride Park... and when they're planning their next trip to the East Midlands.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby got a reaction from Crewton in Watchable telly
On Netflix, The man who wanted to see it all. A documentary about this mad German who set off in the 60's with a few $ in his pocket and cycled to all countries in the world in 51 years. My dad actually met him when cycling in the south of France and bought a couple of the photos he was selling to fund his travel. Really enjoyed it.
