The Chat Room / Re: Lets write a Limerick, one...
Last post by Mups - Yesterday at 01:29:29 PMIt used to be always in the buff
But she is no longer a young bit of fluff
Winceyette rules at bedtime now
And a woolly hat pulled down to her brow

The Chat Room / Re: How old is your Boiler?
Last post by Mups - Yesterday at 01:27:50 PMSometimes things seem never ending, don't they. Everything comes at once.
I have only just paid for the car's MOT and annual service, and more Vet's fees, and now my car insurance expires at the start of November, followed by House Insurance early December all on top of Christmas too.
Boiler service was due early December, but now I've got the breakdown and possibly a new boiler on top of all that.
About the only thing that would cheer me up at the mo, is either George Clooney or Richard Gere come and take me somewhere nice.
P.S.
Half an hour late so far, and boiler man hasn't turned up.

General Discussion / Re: Standing on one leg
Last post by Dextrous63 - Yesterday at 12:54:48 PMThe only issue with the place at times, is parking.
A couple of weeks ago I had to park near the entrance to the main car park, and she was in one of the F wards, which was just about the furthest point possible from the car. Took me nigh on 15 mins to walk there.
Mind you, still better than the multi stories at MRI, with the added little curveball of one taking a wrong turn and getting a fine for driving down Oxford Road. 🤬🤬

Last post by JBR - Yesterday at 12:43:50 PMQuote from: Dextrous63 on Yesterday at 11:09:10 AMSure will JB.Despite the specific location, of which Mancunians are fully aware, Wythenshawe Hospital is actually an excellent place. Marge has been there three times, with her wrist (not that she could go there without it), and has had not only excellent surgery and post op. care, but whenever we arrived we were attended to immediately, which in my experience is not a common experience generally within the NHS.
I fancy a stint in Wythenshawe for a change.
Yes, I could certainly tolerate a stint in Wythenshawe Hospital, if necessary.

General Discussion / Get the popcorn in.
Last post by Vlad - Yesterday at 11:29:21 AMFrom the BBC
The public will be able to watch the execution of a former US Army major by firing squad, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has said.
A Defense Department official told the BBC the execution of Nidal Hasan, who shot dead 13 unarmed US soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009, would be livestreamed.
It is believed it would be the first public execution in the US in almost a century. The decision to livestream it is "unprecedented in the modern era" and "on uncertain legal terrain," said John Mills, a lawyer who works with inmates sentenced to death.
"People need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things," said Hegseth.
The UN human rights office told AFP that livestreaming it would be "tantamount to a public execution and would breach the absolute prohibition of torture".
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy told CNN that the idea was "disgusting" and reminiscent of executions carried out by the Islamic State group.
Anyone know which channel?
