You now have a fake leg?

Nope - they got rid of all the infected tissue with suction and after a month on an antibiotic drip the leg was saved.

Where did they save it, in a cupboard? ;-)

Nothing even remotely as reliable a killer as cyanide or nembutal.

Hard on the truck driver tho.

Yes - I had the happy clappies around my bed twice a week for 4 months, but as I was not their typical tattooed, druggie, alky or self harming punter were clueless.

I had to go from a bag of broken bones to full work ready fitness in 12 months, but we Scorpios can do this.

Fascinating: you're obviously really quite well off.

I hope you've never published your home address in newsgroups -

Simon is bolder than I would be about posting details of domestic

I thought he might take more care with his personal details after

His home address is easily found.

Fascinating: you're obviously really quite well off.

I hope you've never published your home address in newsgroups -
having given the dates your house will be empty whilst on
holiday.

Simon is bolder than I would be about posting details of domestic
routines and now about absences from home.

I thought he might take more care with his personal details after
recently discovering a couple of strange phantom withdrawals from
bank accounts.

His home address is easily found.
Simon is a cyclist. Cyclists are not very bright.

Their lights are TOO bright.

He's right. And that is totally illegal.

Yeah, I'm an avid consumer of "24 hours in emergency" and
its amazing how many there are like him in that hospital alone.

He put one of these on my smashed up tibia which was on my leg for 9 months.

Yet when you shine the same brightness back at them from your car headlights, they get upset.

Do you happen to know what your jape cost the NHS?

I doubt even the NHS knows that.

Since I had paid 40 years of tax and NI, I was well in credit. I took a tin of Celebrations

Irrelevent. It is the amount of tax and NI that is paid, not the mere
fact that you paid any. The taxes you paid were spent by the govt
as they received it on NHS, roads, education, defence, emergency
services, etc etc.

Only the top 10% of taxpayers actually pay more in taxes than they cost
in public services.

A couple with just 2 kids needs to have a family income which, if
earned by one person would put them into higher rate tax. This is
just to cover the £65,000 per child for free education, NHS,
maternity, vaccinations, occasional A&E visits etc, plus
subsidised local services (council tax only pays half what it
costs). Child benefit, London season tickets, etc etc.

Have more kids or earn less, *especially* if tax-credits and
housing benefit are claimed and you are being well subsidised
by others.

You're all over the place there - double counting and excluding other
sources (not least indirect tax). Not read it all, but this seems to
raise some good points:

And quite right that council tax is topped up, given that most of the
tax income is generated locally, then siphoned off to the centre.

housing benefit are claimed and you are being well subsidised

That's a very harsh way of representing some hard working people. People
who created the wealth but see very little of it.

One could mention the argument that the tax-credits being claimed are a
subsidy to the employer rather than the employee.

The car headlights are legal because they have a cutoff.

That steaming turd doesn't and can't either.

Not subject to Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, you see.
They can't touch you for it.

It's not legal to drive around with full beam on, however it is legal if you rename them as "daytime running lights".
