This is terrible. Baby died after pain relief patch became attached to her skin
My wife used to have fentanyl patches prescribed many years ago. |

It was the sound that alerted me as I saw it bounce around in the sink and then slide to the open hole - there's no insert thingy. Fortunately I still have good reflexes and grabbed it. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/british...284cf91a0e.png |
Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I had a wedding ring originally, a basic gold band, nothing fancy. I was heavier when we got married, and lost some weight, and well I think it fell off somewhere when I washed my hands, but I really have no idea where it was, so could not look for it. I never replaced it, but now my job is one in which rings cannot be worn for safety, so we never felt the need to replace it.

You should set yourself up as a self-employed home aquarium cleaner/maintenance/tweaker/advisor. In a city the size of Vancouver there must be enough rich or lazy folks who like fish but not the hassle.

Well caught. I am always mindful of doing such a thing...so I try to leave my rings far away from the sink.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
So. "Random stuff", eh? I'm 78 and have never owned a wedding ring, because it wasn't really the fashion back in 1967 (in Toronto, as it happens). Roughly when did it become pretty much compulsory for men?

Back in the UK in Bristol, prior to returning to Montreal to get married, I went to H Samuel and the exact ring I'd be happy with, almost plain but a bit of design was on clearance. The money saved went towards the one she liked best.

I never feel in the least bit homesick for the UK but I do wish the Guardian would stop doing things like best beaches, best seaside towns, best European cities (and best lesser known ones) for weekend breaks and such like.
Today they've done 10 of the UK’s best waterside pubs Swines. |

Typical wimpy Guardian summary in my opinion, apart from the Rashleigh in Cormwall, that's a good pub. Loads of excellent pubs on the Thames from Oxford all the way down to London, some other belting watering holes on home counties canals. :beer:
The Guardian goes for the obscure sometimes. Top ten holidays - Yoga in the Andes, Tantric Esperanto in Antarctica... |

Loads in Bristol - there's a booze cruise that calls at them - and on the way to Bath and beyond on the Kennet and Avon canal.

Yoga in the Andes? Oh good grief! I'll stick with some of the train journeys that I'm working on for next year. :nod: |
