my other half's brother has just got his citizenship and i don't think we'll ever seem him in the UK again. i know it wasn't straightforward, but it certainly seems to have been worth it.
on a separate note. my best friend recently made a permanent move to australia - i know the grass isn't always greener, but it certainly sounds like it! we are making plans now.

A very common situation unfortunately. Certainly legal to withold treatment, whereas the deliberate hastening of death is illegal. Just to be clear, withholding treatment is not euthanasia in the eyes of the law or medical ethicists.

all sorted, thanks

if it's 3, then avoid like the plague. if it's for peace of mind, then you want a network that actually works. like all things, you get what you pay for i'm afraid.

Finally have got to the point where I have some free time on my hands and can go shooting. Since it's been about 10 years since I fired a gun, I thought a lesson might be a good idea.
Roughly how much are lessons if you have your own gun/ammunition?
Any recommendations for a place to have lessons in the Exeter/Devon area?
Thanks.

my other half is quite anti-gun, but we have a good relationship, so she supported me getting a shotgun. she is anti-gun to the point of refusing to look at it!
the other night, there was a loud noise in the garden at about 3am, woke us both up, first thing she said was "get the gun"

yes, but i would be a lot less efficient. i get most of my work-related admin done in what would otherwise be wasted time.
great for social networking, but hardly an essential to life! i rarely use it for making phone calls.

just out of interest, is the fleece made from the same material as the hunter jacket? thanks.
Brilliant coat, I also have the fleece and a couple of pairs of the hunter trousers.
First class for waterproofing, functionality and value for money

very light, unfortunately, one size does not fit all :(

I had one at 15. It was 20 years ago, but I don't remember it giving any practical advantage (I went clay and pigeon shooting with my father). However, I was asked to go to the local police station for an interview with one of the police officers. I remember feeling very apprehensive about this, but I it really made me think about the seriousness of using a shotgun and my responsibilities.
I'd say go for it

What annoys me about the NHS is that inconsistency. Some hospitals are excellent others **** poor. Even within the same trust they can be different. Why is that?
Some are well managed, others are not.
Some are staffed by demoralised, over-worked staff, others are not.
Some are under-resourced, others are not (well, less under-resourced than others!).
Some are in less desirable areas, so don't attract the best, most motivated staff.
I could go on, but you get the idea. Hospitals are just like any other organisation, be it a supermarket or gun shop. All patients deserve the best care, but sadly this doesn't always happen.
-
As an NHS doctor, I can see how some of the things you describe came about, but an explanation doesn't help you. You've had a shoddy service and have every right to complain, I urge you to do so.
In the meantime, I hope your pain is under control and you get an appointment for a scan in good time.

thanks all. i will pm clay rascal. any other ideas, just in case?

i don't like the idea of fox hunting and don't think it's something i'd like to be involved with. however, as a shooter and angler, i don't think i can criticise and don't think the ban is right for a number of reasons.

cheer mate. did a search and no activity on this for about a year.

Houseplant is a term of endearment (or abuse!) for a job I used to do.

i really like key largo. relaxed and close to good fishing. this place is perfect: http://www.konakairesort.com/aboutus.html
key west is a lot more lively (and also close to good fishing). real party atmosphere 24/7.

Did you watch the vid HDAV? The guy hasn't tampered with the magazine. He sneaks another cartridge under the bolt (as he phrases it).

Capital punishment in the states doesn`t seem to stop all the murders there?
No, but I bet it stops repeat offending
