    Viva, what has happened to have you run ragged? You normally post as if you have a good work life balance

    This is so you, Spirit, always concerned about other people. Are you feeling better after your nasty knock, yesterday?

    Edit: I can see you have already answered!
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Given that the executive summary of the Childot report is 145 pages, how long is the executive summary of the executive summary of the executive summary? I think I can manage a couple of pages.

    Someone on that thread posted a good summary.......just a minute...................




    .................(puff pant.....)
    SUMMARY
    • There was “no imminent threat from Saddam Hussein” in March 2003 and military action was “not a last resort”
    • The UK “chose to join the invasion of Iraq before the peaceful options for disarmament had been exhausted”
    • Tony Blair’s note to George Bush on July 28, 2002, saying UK would be with the US “whatever”, was the moment Britain was set on a path to war
    • Judgements about the threat posed by Iraq’s WMD “were presented with a certainty that was not justified”
    • Tony Blair told attorney general Lord Goldsmith Iraq had committed breaches of UN Security Council resolution 1441 without giving evidence to back up his claim
    • Ministry of Defence was “slow” to react to clear need for better equipment and it was not clear whose job it was to do so
    • Planning for post-war Iraq was “wholly inadequate”
    • Blair government “failed to achieve its stated objectives”
    • The legality of the war can only be decided by an international court

    I must admit, when I watched him talking to the press just now, he's a jolly good actor!
    Plus he knows the power of the measured pause.
    He looks rather drawn, though.

    Unless I'm very much mistaken (always a possibility), it's Thursday am in Australia.

    Good luck for today Gen, thinking of you.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Post Stroke in the hospital gym I was fastened into a giant baby bouncer and walked on a treadmill.:o

    We will get to a point where he will be able to walk off the lead in the woods but it will be years before he can be off lead by the road. Conscious that he could put other road users at risk, trees are very unforgiving.

    Our first dog was very happy with a halti. It may be a solution for me. Oh and trainer will just have to make it work, I am not prepared to persever with current normal puppy lead. I hurts too much.

    I am typing whilst sitting wearing a travel neck pillow. Back of skull too tender for it to touch the back of a chair or headrest. I was considering whether I should wear a cycle helmet. Bruising coming out on other parts too . Along with the strapping I have (stroke related)Helter skelter twist down my arm, along my thumb and forearm and under my foot and up my calf, I look a right state:(

    I am going out with friends tonight. DD will give me a lift .Will wear neck pillow in car but in an attempt to salvage my dignity it is not coming in to the restaurant.:)


    Enjoy your meal would certainly not taste so good with the pillow thingy on.
    Sounds really a nasty crack to the head etc....my last head crash has got to be the last... I had a black eye for around a forthnight and joked my husband done it.....:eek:
