Would've been to overtimulating antway, Scribs.

Went to Little Saigon today to buy rice, of all things. I guess that makes sense, really.

Spoke to a friend who retired from working as a male escort. He said that he missed working in the bush, too.

You weren't in that buisness,,,, were you???

Ha Ha... Alas no......I'm trying to think of some similarities between the two occupations, but apart from it sometimes being hot and wet it's quite easy to get lost there.....

The American Medical Association has weighed in on the proposed nationalized health bill...

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, 'Oh, Grow up!'

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing..

The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the buttholes in Washington...

Very good Scrib's, very good.

And what . . . . . . the Neurologists didn't have a back bone to make a stand in the matter?

This is all too exiting. What we need is something really - I mean REALLY, REALLY, REALLY boring.

I know. Let's start another thread about religion. After-all we've only got three on the go at the moment.

It's amazing here today, sunny, not to hot, birds happy chirping away, no clouds just clear blue sky...it's tough but someone has to enjoy this...it would be less boring if Scribbs and Zdenka were here at pool side, sipping a tequila sunrise while sun bathing in their bikinis, waiting for some barbecue and singing...

StillFingers... Is there room for a midwest snowflake to join you?

I am upset with Cadbury's. They have removed Timeout, Crunchie and Dreams from their Heroes selection. Instead they have Creme Egg Twist, Toffee Eclairs and Bournville. Although I have a slight addiction to Creme Eggs at Easter I am not a fan of the Egg Twists and I feel it is inappropriate to include them in the Heroes selection all year round. I do, however, wholeheartedly approve of Eclair inclusion. I also have a sneaky suspicion that Nuts About Caramel has be replace by Dairymilk Wholenut, but I couldn't swear to it.

Snofl, if you can wheel yourself out to sunny so cali, I'm sure we can find a place for you to relax, enjoy the sun, have some fun, some bbq and share a few tunes to free your soul...or at least dance about a bit

Sweets for the sweet, sorry for your confection nightmare Trin, with any good fortune your Cadbury conundrum will be remedied in the not to distant future...until then, I'll share a Bounty Dark with you if you like coconut and pigtails drive me

You are not alone. Cadburys recently decided in New Zealand to add palm oil and cut back on the all-important cocoa butter - along with "thinning" the size. Palm oil lengthened shelf life and made it softer. Big outrage and now Cadburys have back down and reverted to the original recipe.

Nomis, this is somewhat disturbing news, I'm glad they backed down. Next in 2012 we'll hear Belgian chocolate is being made with soya milk. The world as we know it could indeed be ending...horrible, just horrible

I'm back off my holiday (camping in Devon) and am now blitzing the house (or rather looking at what needs doing in the house and hiding behind my laptop) before I leave this afternoon to go and collect a new car (that I brought when I was upset [about relationship troubles] to cheer myself up) - this makes four cars on the drive way that are mine...


...oops.

Buying a new car as retail therapy is a bit extreme Clara, is it not? Get some pictures for the car nuts out there. We got our new (to us) Land Rover last week, after a weeks delay caused by a flat battery. I drove it a few times last week, and on Monday, but my doc told me I have another uti on Tuesday morning, so I am now extremely bored, feeling fairly crap, and sitting here looking at said Land Rover. So now I'm frustrated and bored!

But.....(everybody breathe a sigh of relief)......at least I did'nt pass out this time, and my blood pressure did'nt get as low, and I've not had to be in hospital. Yet. The doc even reckons the anti biotics might even work this time, we'll see. Anyway, I'm off to be bored again.

Unfortunately the trailer has been stolen (far too exciting for this thread) so the car is stuck awaiting the hope that I can hire a replacement tomorrow.

It is a little extreme, but retail therapy is what women do I'm told. Unfortunately since I am not into designer shoes or handbags (and I already have enough tools) the only thing left was a car...

Eh? Why limit yourself to a car? Where's your sense of adventure? What about a helicopter ...... or even an autogyro?

Shame on you Trin! Didn't you watch James Bond swooping round the sky on a little egg-beater type thing, dodging machine gun bullets from several proper helicopters.

An autogyro has a rotor like a helicopter but the blades aren't powered. The rotor is made to spin by the movement of air which in turn give the machine "lift". The movement of air is achieved by a dirty great fan fixed behind the driver's seat that pushes the contraption along.

[greybeard]

Here ya go Trin. This one's a posh one. They come without the cockpit cover as well.

Unfortunately until I get the back garden finished I wont have anywhere to land a helicopter and autogyros really do cause looks of scourn around here.

I /almost/ brought a double decker bus (bright red Routemaster) but was out bid at the last minute by £20.00 ... I could have cried. But then again I have been trying to buy a portable steam roller for the past three months though the owner keeps messing me around so hope springs for a shiny new toy one day!!

I am off today on a teacher assistant training course - two days of sitting at the back of a cold class room being taught how to.... sit in the back of a cold class room? It seemed a good idea at the time.

(Also hoping to collect trailer rev 2 today in the hope of getting this cheer me up car home! I can drive trailers without a problem, but is it wrong to consider acting all dumb and girly so that I don't have to hitch it up?)

I'm feeling slightly better now, thanks Scrib's. We'll see what the next couple of day's brings. Still hoping to avoid the hospital this time.

Glad to see Zdenka is keeping you amused Don't worry, after a few week's (or month's???) it might wear off.......slightly. Or you might get used to it!!!

Hope she had a nice holiday, by the way.

Help!!

My teacher assistant course is in fact a City & Guild teaching course - level three (enabling me to teach other members of Saint John).

Right now I am absolutely bricking it as much as my constipated little back side will let me. I have to "teach" for 10 minutes showing people how to put slings on... how I do that from this position I have no idea!!!

Clara, yank here and a c5/6 quadie, you mentioned slings, I'm not sure what you are referring to, do you mean a sling an SCI might use to be transfered from wheelchair to bed, car, jacuzzi, pool, etc. if so, I've been using them for 3 decades, I might be able to help

Two countries separated by a common language, sometimes I'm so confused; a sling is slang for a bra in some areas of the USA, not sure I could help much with putting them on, taking them off perhaps...depending on the type of clasp of course, as I've had some practice
