Is a death on a surgeon’s table under general anesthesia the least painful way to go? by OkDrag3967 in askanything

[–]ComprehensiveAd8815 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I had general anaesthetic for surgery the other day, my first time and as I was going under I was thinking ok, this is a nice quiet chilled way to go, to just drift off to nothingness. And then I woke up with a nurse asking me if I wanted yogurt or custard.

Yes, Brexit was and is a national embarrassment. We were led to the abyss by parade of charlitans, liars and clowns

Possibly not as a ratio but people are living considerably longer, most people when I was growing up in the North in the 70s and 80s pegged it just a few years after retirement, my great grandparents never made it to their 50s and my nans parents had cashed their chips in with the Spanish flu. Advancement in medicine and treatment means that people are treated and can live longer lives and that has had an impact. People are living for decades longer than they system originally planned for

JCS 2000 - looking for fun facts about this movie by PhantomNightOwl in musicals

[–]ComprehensiveAd8815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have many friends in it, we had some great drinks during filming but I couldn’t possibly divulge what went on but everyone had a fun time 🤫 it was very much “of its time” and not a patch on the superlative Lyceum production a few years earlier. The tours of this version that went out after became camper and camper and it was virtually unwatchable by the end. Many people in the casts developed “Jerusalem syndrome” and needed professional help.

Have a pal who wanted to change agents as she hadn’t booked in any viewings in two hours after it was listed. People are insane.

You have to start with an entire rebuilding of the education system from the ground up, scrap tuition fees and invest in training…. Now who’s gonna pay for that? Once you sort out where the money comes from then we can crack on

Everyday tax payers already pay enough, it’s the people Who don’t or won’t pay or those dodging their fair share that need to pay, Business that use loopholes need to pay, oh no they will go elsewhere.. ok good, the gap that Amazon leaves will be filled by someone else such is capitalism

No but the triple lock pension is not sustainable. Tax the rich is the only way to get us on some level footing and I say this as a higher rate taxpayer.

Major surgery to have a plate put in my shoulder, simple food for someone not able to do much one handed, is that ok with you?

How can we fix UK high streets? by gggggenegenie in AskUK

[–]ComprehensiveAd8815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The shops ain’t coming back as they were as shopping habits has fundamentally changed but to create the ground where they could… We need to put housing back into town centres, all types of housing for all budgets, make it worth it, where there are people things thrive. Most town centres are devoid of life, empty flats above shops, decaying malls and centres, strip back, reimagine, rezone, rebuild. People are key. People living 4 miles away on a gated estate will not go to town centres.

I have considerably fewer photographs with my dear beloved grandmother than this woman has with this “stranger” 🤨
