Thnks for that EDOldie.

However I'm going to have have to balk at Joseph Heller's diagnosis on the grounds that the book was good, the film was shit and I hated Good As Gold.

I demand a second opinion from John Kennedy Toole.


Oh. Yes, all right then, his estate.

When I get my hands on the germ spreader I WILL strangle 'em. After I've fully recovered from this man type flu thing. AND if old ppl or pregnant women think I'm going to give up my seat for them on the bus this morn just try it! My pain is too much I tell ya! :-(

Well I rather not give the name, but it was a good one. Approved it was.

Best of luck cdonline, I have been feeling the effects of my smoking recently, usually after heavy weekends. I know I should stop, I know it's a stupid habit, but I just don't really want to :-S


Today I just feel very Fridayish, meaning I'm sat at work, watching the clock...

It will be hard to say goodbye to the glamour of lighting up. The kids need role models like us, counteracting the prissy overbearing non smokers.


If I do give up and have any cigarettes left, I will, of course, be charitable and hand them out to the kiddies in the park. Pay it forward.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
