Could do with a lick of paint.

Is that safe and legal?

Force them to read some of the threads on these forums.  That should do it!

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 08:31:32 PMThere are apparently problems getting the chemicals used from pharmaceutical companies. They created the gas chamber, the lethal injection and the electric chair as high tech (at the time) replacements for hanging which they considered barbaric. The hanging procedure used by the British was humane if you  can consider any execution humane but cruder methods can be slow and very painful.

Absolutely.  The Yanks may see hanging barbaric, but from what I know of the 'modern' British method of hanging, it results in immediate death by instantly removing any neural connection of the brain and the body, by snapping the top of the cervical vertebrae.

I suppose that if a person was hanged incorrectly, they could suffer a slow death by asphyxia.

Perhaps an expert might suggest that it would take a certain time for the person (correctly) hanged to actually realise that they have died?

I should think it's one of the worst and most painful for all concerned. I hope to drop dead from a heart attack.

Don't mean to be miserable.

I'd be interested to see a face-on picture of the dividing wall.

Quote from: morty on Today at 03:17:36 PMFlu jab for me tomorrow ..

Klondy ... I had my shingles jab a few years back and I had the same reaction. My arm hurt for a few days and felt quite uncomfortable.

It may be relatively new I think I was offered it as I turned 71 and they are working some sort of cycle to get everybody of some age or other done if they want it.

I could have booked with the doctor but I chose to book with the pharmacy which is just over he road and never involves much of a wait. I think they did offer walk ins once but it clearly didn't work out. Probably too many turning up at lunchtime and just before they shut.

I looked the shingles vaccination up. It seems the live virus one I had was swapped to or a two dose one in September 2023 but they may still be using up stocks. The age range will or may already be 60 through 80 except for anybody immune impaired who can have it from 18 on.

I'm probably immune anyway as sfaik I never had chicken pox. In fact I escaped all the usual childhood stuff except German measels. I didn't even need the TB jab as I reacted to the pickle fork tester.
