Blimey,   I am glad that is not my house!

It looks very unsafe,  as well as illegal I'd have thought.

I wanted the shingles injection but when I went they said we had already had it .
I told them we had not .
I am so needle phobic I would not forget two injections .

But the computer says nah ...or rather yes .

It worries me a little as I had chicken pox quite badly .

Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 01:43:22 PMYes,  I think that trying a third time would have been the answer, rather than sending her to hospital to be made better before they try again!

I have heard nothing about why the drug didn't even work after two attempts though.



This was probably the case of an incompetent doctor who couldn't find the vein so the euthanasia was going into the tissue instead of the bloodstream .
It still would have killed her eventually .

Think it was the drop length rather than the weight 🤷🏻�♂️

Quote from: JBR on Yesterday at 06:55:07 PMAbsolutely.  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 think it had to be a real expert like Pierrepoint who took great pains ( no pun intended ) to make sure his clients were dispatched humanely .
He calculated the weight needed to make death almost instant .

Don't worry about it Alex. It's already been brought to my attention.
I'm sure it'll soon return to the usual general pleasantries.

That's the burning question.  Which brings us loosely back to topic.... burning at the stake.  Doubtful that too many made a comeback after that.
