Quote from: Mups on December 19, 2025, 10:35:34 PMIt was his own choice, Dex.

I know that.  And the tragedy is that his inability to think ahead has destroyed a 9 year old and his family, as well as his own and probably his family.

I know of a nice, middle class family near me with the father a TV producer with a famous FiL, the mother was lovely but died of cancer, and the daughter an aspiring actor.  The son, who played with my son, ended up murdering someone brutally on a drug related issue.  He's in prison for "life" and his family have been castigated through association.

So sad.  No winners.  Everyone's a loser.

Nice to have a bit of company ey, Michael.
Hope you have an enjoyable time.  

Lil decided to give Bill a stroke
Unfortunately he thought it a joke
He told her to keep still
Else he'd stop and give her the bill
'Cos Bill was an honest bloke.



So Lil swung her legs off the bed
Then glared at him and said
'I  might as well go
If you're being a holy Joe
And gave him a slap round the head!



While sat in his dentist's chair
Brian hoped he would get good care

I feel quite previleged to have lived at the same time as David Attenborough ( who will turn 100 next year )

What an amazing man .

I have always liked and respected that man Muddy,  but lately I have been turning his programmes off.
The reason for this is,  there seems to be an abundance of nothing but blood thirsty kills taking up too much of the programmes now.  

 Yes, I know that's how wild animals live,  but when nearly the whole programme is taken up with nothing but animals ripping each other apart,   I have to turn off.   
And something that really irritates me even more,  is the way the kills are made more exciting by that awful excited orchestra which gets louder and louder as the terrified creature's demise approaches.   Why does an orchestra suddenly have to burst in??

I am interested in all aspects of animals lives,  not just someone filming terrified animals in their final minutes.

Quote from: Dextrous63 on December 19, 2025, 12:50:30 PMImagination JB.  The 15 year old decided not to think things through and the likely consequences of his actions.  He'll always be recognised as being a killer, and possibly have nightmares/flashbacks for the rest of his life.  Any chance of a "normal" life is gone.

It was his own choice, Dex.

Quote from: Raven on December 19, 2025, 10:52:29 AMThe Cardio Dr who just yesterday discovered the reason I was feeling so ill. Landed back in hospital yesterday in an almost collapsed state, turns out the medication I was on for my heart was slowly poisoning me. After blood tests and an ECG and a shed load of questions he discovered the digoxen was slowly poisoning me. I threw the remaining stuff out, takes 8 to 10 daysvto leave the system
That man literally saved my life.

My goodness Raven!   That it dreadful.   I thought you were doing so well, too.
Thank goodness this was discovered in time,  and I hope you start to feel much better very soon.  

Quote from: JBR on December 19, 2025, 07:22:19 PMI'm sure it's a nice feeling to feel sorry for a murderer, Dex.
My feelings of sorrow are for the poor nine year-old kid who no longer has a life.

Absolutely JB. Not my intention to lower the murdered to a secondary concern.  Sorry if it came across that way.
