Re: General Chit Chat
I suppose one of the problems with hospitals that have wards is one tends to catch things that one didn't go in to fix. Fortunately in our new super hospital all admitted patients have a private room. Our older hsopitals are all "semi-private" which means one other person shares the room. No wards. ...

I *think* Hobes's point here, is that it was, or is being looked at as an option for people with Depression, or other mental health issues Medical assistance in dying in Canada is not currently available to people with mental illness. Consideration to include tham has been postponed until St. Patri...

With Bobby Moore in the 1970 WC I think. Great game we lost 1-0.

A true football legend. Pele trained with Brazil on Bolton's Bromwich Street pitches in 1966. Edit. Just seen that The Bolton News beat me to that one. Not apologising though as I remember it.

Re: No Ramifications on the Rams. Home v Derby County, Tues. 27-12 22 3-0'clock
Understandable…must be our first Boxing Day without a game for a long time (apart from last year when it was a Covid cancellation!). Aye, my first Wanderers game was on Boxing Day at Burnden with my dad and uncle. I was ten if I remember so it would have been 1949 (My memory of then was better than...

"Lady" Susan Hussey. A fine example of England's aristocracy's uselessness. I'm not sure it's entirely fair to tar the entire aristocracy with that brush, Tango. It's like saying the racist yahoos at Burnden were a fine example of the Bolton working man's beliefs. The aristocracy may be useless but...

Re: General Chit Chat
University challenge was the only show (this was back in the '60s) when they asked the question and I thought "wtf?". Hopefully it got a little easier over the years as I found watching it humbling. If you can get it over there Monty you should try Only Connect. I find it great viewing but I don't ...

Re: General Chit Chat
Sad to see Jeremy Paxman being replaced as host of University Challenge due to him being diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease. Blunt as a lump hammer, but I always liked him. Best of luck and hope he recovers some. It was Bamber Gascoigne when I last saw the show. I have watched many, many quiz shows ...

RIP to a great lady. She was Queen of Canada too. King Charles sounds odd to me, and I imagine demands for us to become a republic will increase. However, he gave a good speech today I thought.

Not disagreeing, Harry, but just wondered whether you rated the US archaic, undemocratic or simply backward. Or all three perhaps.Harry Genshaw wrote: ↑Tue Aug 23, 2022 2:09 pmthen no way is the death penalty coming back here, or in any other modern democracy that ain't backward.
