Shortly before his death, doctors were considering amputating his hands and feet, which had turned black from infection, baffling his family and doctors.

Re: Airlanders for Scottish Highlands and Islands...?

What is the speed at which Airlanders 'cruise' (compared to the Islanders)?

Re: Airlines reliant on GPS

Some years ago I owned a lefthanddrive vehicle (I was an overseas resident at the time). As I tried to drive onto the ferry from Esbjerg (Denmark) to Harwich the clutch cable snapped. On arrival in Britain, I drove to London and made my way to the main dealer to buy a clutch cable. On arrival, there...

Re: The Great Economic Reset

The Brinks Mat heist haul needed 'diluting' (reducing in purity) and samples were found with whole copper pennies included (like fruit cake).

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

A couple of houses back (more like a half dozen actually) it was basically a bungalow with an upper storey and the eaves were 'open' to the winds with 'drywall' inner linings that circulated the cooling breezes throughout the property. Removing an electrical socket revealed a turbo blast of cold air...

Re: We need more

Yes, two years ago on December 17th I discovered that, despite having shoes with 'Commando soles' , I couldn't arrest the slide on a steep gradient of wet ice with water flowing over it. Reaching out with my right arm to prevent the fall merely dislocated my shoulder, leaving me to lie in the 'river...

"Just had the estimate for rethatching house and library. It is steep but would suggest 1/2 that of the UK."

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Another thing. Last night I woke up after the noise of my mobile phone falling off the bed onto the floor left me totally and completely disorientated with not a clue as to where I was, a concept that persisted for about a minute. I couldn't understand where the features of my own room had disappear...

TRABB force to bob2s, wishing you all the best for a long and healthy future. Meanwhile I am back in circulation from the hospital after my gut-prune. It was an eventful stay which extended longer than anticipated. I have been granted a bill of full health after extensive tests and a scan to investi...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

I am currently lying in hospital (planned) awaiting 3:30 tomorrow when I expect I will be relieved of a polyp on my internal exhaust pipe.
Just had my first (and last) 'sustainance' of the day - a mug of Oxo cube in hot water.
Cavok outside.

Strange how the address of Mistress came to have a different meaning to 'wife'.
