He's doing a "Brendan".

A few years back, I was due to work a shift with a colleague but there was a spare man with no crewmate. As a lead paramedic I was taken off the crew and put on a response car as a solo responder. The ambulance I would have been on was subsequently involved in a fatal collision in which the patient in the back was killed and the med tech was seriously injured and as a result, had to retire on health grounds. As a solo responder, I was sent to the incident to manage the scene and treat casualties until support got there. I didn't know who or which vehicle was involved until I arrived, first on scene. It was a mess. I have flashbacks that the seat in the back would have been occupied by me had the spare man not taken my place. Time for a G and T after that post.

I assume you haven't seen @Daggersrecent post about his health scare?

Body found in search for two-year-old boy who fell in river - BBC News It's him, isn't it.

Well, I found that on the LM website so it must be correct, no?

No. Musculature. Big throbbing veins is a potential sign. Don't look down...

Do you ever wonder if you'll be one of those "lost" yet remembered on FT? I guess we'll never know unless there's a heaven and we can look down on FD. How frustrating it would be to be unable to post from beyond the grave.

Having the time of his life and probably a welcome respite from other personal issues he has to think about. I can't blame him. He comes across as a very nice guy. Is he electable? Genuinely nice guys don't do well in politics but he's going to get a lot of support just for being decent. I get the feeling he's just letting the big two get on with it. Lib Dems still 3rd out of 3.

We have put up a bird feeder designed for small birds to access and intending to keep the pigeons and other larger birds from being able to get food from it. It's on a thin branch that wouldn't support the larger birds. I have just watched a magpie land on a thicker branch adjacent to the feeder, peck off a few leaves in order to get a decent grip and then hop along using his weight to get the branch to lower to a level where he could take the food from the feeder. Incredible.

Except... It remained a popular venue and continued until it closed in 1974. After its closure it became Baileys Club in the same year until its closure in 1977. Something's not right

I have to disagree. Witty, clever writing, well constructed characters, dark humour. Actually very funny.
-
Bravery, right there in one post.
-
Because I had to. I had a life to get on with. I didn't say I agreed with it.

Probably true and that is the problem with indirect discussion via social media.

I don't think it's lack of vision more lack of understanding. It's an age related thing. Remember when your parents couldn't grasp the concept of computers, automation, even TV remote controls because it was outside of their known experience. Unfortunately, if it's "new" it's "alien" to what they know and what they expect of the world they've lived in and that's where they struggle.
-
That's very unfair. My parents lived through it and it was a great hardship on them and a great cost to the nation. I'm not suggesting the survivors are owed by us all that have come into this world since but the memories of that time in our history has a profound effect on those that lived on. They deserve more respect from the likes of you.

I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make. You've taken a simplistic and ignorant soundbite and tried to make it political and a criticism of those who exercised their right to vote, a result you clearly disagree with. People voted for Brexit for more than this single reason, if you'd care to look. Brexit vote explained: poverty, low skills and lack of opportunities | Joseph Rowntree Foundation (jrf.org.uk) I voted Remain FWIW but I have accepted the result of what was a national referendum.
