It may seem a little harsh but the recovery rate from such action is supposed to be so good there are reports of 12 foot goldfish living in our sewers. (I wonder what is in the water causing these little fish to grow 12 feet?).

You are trivialising the issue just because you don't like the threadstarter.

Sir! In response to your defamatory comment above, I'd just like to point out that your definition isn't the only instance were the "S" is predominant in relation to your average Scallys appellation, hence "Softlad", "Smartarse" also benefit from the use of the capital "S".

Furthermore, when referring to himself (The Scally), usually on apprehension & detention by the Scuffers or some such similar bailiff, probation or judiciary figure will begin his mitigation plea with "S'not me what done it!" or equally "S'im what done it! I wuz at me Nans!". Usually in a somewhat plaintive & disbelieving tone, accompanied by a look of shiftyness to see if he/she is being believed by the authority in question. :) ;)

May be a bit off topic but because burnley A+E has been shut down the increase in patients at blackburn has seriously effected routine checkups.This may not seem like a big deal but when someone has spent the previous 24 hours not eating and consuming extreemly powerfull laxatives the last thing they need as they are about to go down to theater is that their bed is needed for someone fom A+E so can they go home and re-arrange a checkup which there is no guarentee wont also be cancelled at teh last second.

i know this because when booking in for my colonoscomy i was told if i was to use blackburn so i could have me specialist do it there was a good chance it could be cancelled at the last minuite so i was better off booking into burnley but my specialst didnt operate at burnley.

granted this new queens park hospital is a complete disaster but money was spent at the end of the day to try and improve things and consolodate two hospitals into one

if i had gotten cancer when under tory government i would have either died by the time i got treatment or found myself in a corridoor on a stretcher because there were no free beds and people laying in corridoors is something no one will ever forget.

my friend raised money for a new incubator for queens park hospital and the torys stole it away to a hospital down south once the got a sniff of its presence.When my friend went back he was handed back the plaqe saying donated by and teh screws that attatched it.

what he shoud have done was loan it to them but because he gave it to them it became NHS propperty therefore he couldnt insist it was returned to wher eit was meant for
