Is it bad to state that this thread is now proof that medicine is so complicated that it proves my point that it's easier to shoot people than actually learn how to put them back together ? I dread to learn how many more huge words there are for how we can fall apart so easily.

One of my parents favourites in the car along with Slim Whitman and Dolly Parton. The only reason I survived was the invention of the Sony Walkman. Thank you Sony. Thank you from a grateful generation :lol:

I have a garage full of gubbins which I'm sure will be useful eventually. I also have a cabinet containing thingy-ma-bobs, whoja-ma-flips and a couple of froogal-thumpers :roll: :think: :shifty:

The 'Ring of Fire' I knew came from eating a too spicy curry at Khan's in London. I've hardened my tastebuds, stomach and intestines since.
