My sibling's fighting the potential of total paralysis, and has newly discovered this is the direct result of a simple accident with a bicycle 45 years ago. It went undiagnosed/unspotted all those years.... but I guess things are better these days. Back then they strapped you up and you got pushed around for 2-3 months, then it was over. Thing was, there was something they didn't spot.
That sounds scary, Pastures. What injuries did your sibling have originally, and what was it that they didn't spot?Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

Thanks. I didn't have time to phone the insurer and check. I didn't risk it because I am freaked out by any possibility of being uninsured when driving since my experience with LNE's compensation claim has made me all too aware that motor insurance claims can be huge. My lawyers are describing my families claim as "fairly small" because everyone that was in LNE's car is either dead or fine. The big claims are for people with life-altering injuries - their claims can run into millions very easily.

I've always been under the impression that driving it to the MOT garage was the only time you could legally drive it without an MOT, and therefore it would be covered by the insurance. I hope that's true.

Good news on the television news tonight that the US/UK extradition treaty has been found to favour the US. I hope that this helps Gary MacKinnon's fight to stay in the UKThere is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0

can't stand mushrooms.

I like both peas and mushrooms, but feel peas are overcnsumed where a less carby veg would be better for people.0

I always cook too many peas. End up hlf filling a plate with them.
I also always cook too much pasta whenever I cook it.It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
No such thing as too many peas as long as they are nice ones.
I wanted to go to bed at about 10.30 but decided to stay up until 11.45 to exploit a banking loophole worth a couple of quid. Instead I failed to make the xfer before midnight as got sidetracked and so instead have made a few quid less than if I had just made the transfer at 10.30
I think....0
