No, it explains why I'm certified sane.

Who else hereabouts can claim that?

VBG

Who else has been asked to prove it? :-)

Who mentioned proving it?

Why else would you need to be certified?

Non sequitur.

Certification provides proof of something. You said you were certified.
Presumably this was because proof was needed, otherwise why certify?

I didn't ask for proof :-)

The story is that I had a brain tumour. It ws removed,. I was declared sane
and healthy by the neurosurgeon. I didn't ask. Can anyone else here say the
same?

Can you?

If not, how do you know that you ARE sane?

Don't bother replying, I'm not doubting it. And I don't expect anyone to
doubt may sanity either - but if they do I can point to my medical history,
which not many people can.

Horrible story. Some one is for the high jump and I don't mean the
driver but his bosses. And that firm should loose any NHS transport
contracts they have.

If what I read in the papers about this was true, then I sincerely hope the
driver gets his come-uppance as well.

Okay, so basically you were declared compos mentis so they could claim
success and discharge you :-)

Can you?

Almost certainly not.

If not, how do you know that you ARE sane?

I should be okay as long as I keep taking the tablets.

Don't bother replying, I'm not doubting it.

It's not safe to make assumptions like that.

It would probably have been cheaper to give him a first class ticket on
GNER. Toilets, restaurant car (while it lasts), and a nicer view.

I'm not so sure, I suspect the driver could well have been caught
between a rock and hard place. Without medical training or absolute
permission would you risk moving a patient or giving them food? What
would the public reaction be if the driver gave the patient a Snickers
bar and he was allergic to nuts?

The driver is not completly innocent but I doubt we are getting the
whole story. You rarely do in the media these days.

Well, how about opening the door *once* during the 12-hour journey and
saying 'you all right in there mate?' or 'do you need a pee'? or
something?

I quite agree; it's hard to believe this one's true as reported.

Probably not a good idea, unless it is an actual emergency, and you're
unable to get to proper medical treatment, and even possibly not.

Proper medical CA is highly refined, with all of the biologically nasty
stuff distilled out.

Non medical CA isn't, and only needs to be non-toxic enough so that
it doen't poison users when it gets on the skin.
It might have practically anything in it, and cause nasty reactions.

Ive used it in conjunbction with a bt of tiuuse to fold the end of my
finger back down when I curt it with a scalpel.

Stings like buggery, so it must be doing good.

Anyway, nerves are back to about 85% capacity on that fingertip.

It may not be medically sterile, but superglue is a lot better than
bleeding to death, or waiting 3 hours for stitches..


Reading this reminds me of what my father told me was carpentry workshop
first aid practice in the first half of the 20th Century. At that time (who
remembers this?) the fairly universal indoor carpentry glue - in the
workshop anyway - was animal glue, that came in little yellow beads and was
melted over a steam kettle, then brushed on the joint which was then swiftly
cramped up. I'm not quite sure as to the exact derivation of these beads,
but they did come from the carcass rendering trade. It's probably best not
to enquire too deeply into this.

Anyway, if you sliced yourself in the workshop such things as elastoplast
did not exist, so the standard procedure was to get a nice long plane
shaving, apply animal glue to one side of it, wait till it had cooled a
little, then wrap it around. Sealed it all up a treat........

Reading that, I suddenly remembered my first stiches (from hitting a door
mirror with my hand while riding a motorbike, BTW not a good idea). Nurse
painted the damaged area with Whitehead's varnish (which is, apparently,
"compound iodoform paint BPC"). But it certainly seemed pretty much like
french polish. At least it seems unlikely that there would be a BSE risk
from beetle extract!

My artist friends swore by rabbit skin glue, I suspect that generic animal
glue was from anything and everything, especialy bovine and equine. But
preparing some stock from pigs' trotters the other day reminded me how
sticky that was when over-boiled and left to gel!

Those little yellow beads were the modern version of the much darker
coloured slabs of glue. This was made from animal hooves into slabs
resembling the toffee slabs which were broken with little metal hammers
before sale in sweet shops. The glue was melted down using double pots
fitting one inside the other. The lower one containing water the other
sitting just above the water level was for melting the glue. The smell
was very pleasant, I remember, so much so that my mother let my father
heat his glue on the kitchen stove before using it in the workshop. The
glue brush was left the in the glue after use and became embedded in the
in the hardened glue looking like something good enough to eat. As a lad
I couldn't get enough of that smell. Glue sniffing has a longer history
than most people realise.
Thank you for reminding me of my old dad, a carpenter who would be 104
if alive today.

Rabbit skin glue has a few drawbacks, but its big advantage is
retaining flexibility once set - so it's popular for artists or work
with fabrics. It's also the ingredient in gesso for sculptors or
gilders.

"Hide" or "Scotch" glue is made from the trimmed scraps of hides but
mainly cartilage or tendon. It's not made from hooves or horns - it
could be, but they'd take far too long to render down. It used to be
made as bricks or "biscuits" than needed to be broken up before
soaking and heating, but these days it's all "pearl" glue that is
quicker to soak.

Hooves were granulated and went for either case-hardening compounds
(before the cyanide processes) or as garden fertiliser.

Fish glue is made from the cartilage of non-boney fish (sharks or
dogfish) and sometimes from the skins of larger boney fish. It has a
higher tack on first contact than hide glue. With Victorian chemistry
it was also possible to make a cold fish glue that stayed liquid, but
this wasn't possible for hide until fairly recently.

In Days of Old, two new products came out in tubes at about the same

You can guess the rest of that one too.

I thought that was Red Dwarf, maybe I'm confused.

Now you mention it, you could be right. Most probably both.

I thought it might have been in 'meltdown', set on waxworld, a speech by
Rimmer to the 'troops'. (an assortment of historical and fictional animated
waxworks, fighting an assortment of evil waxworks.)

It would have made some sense, as red-riding-hood may indeed have been on
one of the armies.

However, a quick read over the script doesn't show any really close scene.
And 'chin the bitch' is all over google as a "Dog Soldiers" quote.
