Well Mary, if your washer is faulty and you live in Bolton, maybe
you'd better unplug it at the wrallplug - or do I mean the socket.
With the 3 and 4 way sockets we have today, I guess that will now be a
socket set.
Painful isnt it? Maybe I've got a screw loose.

As you know, the pun is mightier than the swear word....
I had a friend who liked puns so much he entered a competition. He was
so desperate to win he actually made ten separate entries. But even then
he did not win, in fact, no pun in ten did.

You didn't. A tap is a tool used to put a thread into a hole in a hard
substance, as against something that is more like a jelly ;-)
To tap, is to produce a thread into a hole, taps is the plural of this.
Quite why you would tap a holes in your head... ;-)

That reminds me of my very staid aunt and my mother, who used to work for
Shand Kydd wallpapers and used to come home with the most indelicate jokes.
Aunt is dead, mother was 92 last month.
On a certain paint: "Knacker laquer - adds lustre to your cluster".
I didn't know where to put myself, I was only 17 after all ...

Trepanning is a totally different subject. Quite painful, I believe.

Well, the surgeon used a circular saw to make the cut before he prised my

Well if you really want to know ...
I have a friend whose Heroin addiction gave him some crazy ideas (I
didn't quite mean that). I decided to investigate the subject in order
to try and explain why this might be a BAD THING TO TRY.
He actually managed a successful detox before buying a Black and Decker
and a core drill

Would that be Major surgery?
Best I can come up is being operated on by a Group Captain
(AIUI, the aneathathist was a Surgeon-Commander)
There wasn't a General on the establishment let alone
the strength. Dunno about the Army place -up the road-!

How do you know that trepanning was traditionally for exorcising the evil
spirits?

it's probably one of those accepted truths, there being few other viable
explanations . I seem to remember an article in New Scientist about it
too.
Google it, there is a lot out there
One has to ask, why you underwent such a procedure

From what I remember with the gas-pusher it was
count-down-man-ship ... ten, nine, e.i.g.h.t , zonk!
Actually, their ranks were 'more-or-less' irrelevant.
They were medical staff at a service hospital - before
the military's medical services were distributed around
The NHS. Nowadays there are only Military Wards as
opposed to Military Hospitals. Servicemen go onto
'normal' waiting lists for admission to NHS hospitals
while when mobilised huge chunks of medical staff
deploy away leaving NHS hospitals short of staff and wards.
It must have seemed a wizard wheeze when Tony first
heard about it ... but then he hadn't invoked the forty-five
minute threat.

What we think of as viable explanations or accepted truths aren't proven
facts, there's no way it can be proved. It says more about modern human
perceptions of our forebears than of them.

And of course if it's on the net it must be right :-)

I had a tumour, a benign one, a meningioma. The procedure was a craniotomy.
It was 100% successful in that all my distressing symptoms disappeared
immediately, I'm also still alive and despite rumours to the contrary as
sane as the next man.
That's you :-)
It was also a fascinating experience which I feel privileged to have had. I
do miss some of the 'heightened awareness' symptoms I had, I suspect they
were similar to what people on mind enhancing drugs have, but losing them
was worth it so that I was free of the nasties.
