They bring you presents. Birds, mice, spiders, etc. But don't eat the chocolate eggs. It doesn't taste as nice as Easter Bunny chocolate... 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why no-one can ever recover from COVID-19 in England – a statistical anomaly https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/why-no-one-can-ever-recover-from-covid-19-in-england-a-statistical-anomaly/ Statistical anomaly? There is an algorithm apparently used in civil aviation risk assessment which quantifies your chances, when sitting in any seat on an a/c, of having already been killed in a plane crash... Or so I was told up the pub. I hope it's true, it's one of those things that is so mad I want it to be true. The world will be a gloomier and more pointless place if it isn't true...

In Australia, large numbers of soldiers were decimated leaving whole districts with a shortage of men. So much so, that Australian military started assigning men to regiments randomly. Australia had no standing army in 1914 and the AIF was made up entirely of militia (reserve) units. A town would have its own platoon or company and a district/shire would form these into a company. A regional city might be able to muster a battalion. They were all locals to that area. Cheers David 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two questions: 1. have you been reading Pratchett? and 2. shouldn't the words of death be in SMALL BLOCK CAPITALS? Regards, Alex. Hi All, By popular demand (8 "Agrees" I have Pratchettised the way Death speaks. I have also made another change which was one of those "I wish I'd said it that way instead" moments you get after you see your post in print. I think it works better.

Stanley Melrose Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Ken Dodd often amused his audience with the comment, "My mum would go mad if she knew I was here telling jokes . . .

There's a folk song called Durham Gaol by Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies which includes the lyric - "And I’m sure that me mother’s heart would break, To see me in a state of such repentance, I’m glad she’s not around to see, And I’ll be out before she finishes her sentence," It's a brilliant song if folk's your thing. 3 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
