There are many medical practitioners who would advocate for drilling a few holes in your skull anyway, Ian

staff members who made the campaign video did so on their own time, which is mighty charitable of them.
is the issue use of public money?
surely it also comes under campaign funding - and was it a declared donation by these charitable souls - are donations quantified by cash or kind, as donations of time and equipment use have a value to the end user (in money NOT spent) or am I being naive?365 houses at risk
Well there's your Fundraising Calendar : )

Dear Dr David
As a child I was offered a shandy while visiting relatives on the West Coast. I was looking forward to this exotic concoction of, I assumed, Sherry and Brandy and was dismayed, desolate and dispirited to be given a sickly sweet diluted malt based hop flavoured brew, which I sipped and set aside. I became withdrawn, sullen and resentful for many years afterwards but now realise I got off lightly, a weight has been lifted from my bitter soul and the light of a life renewed is flooding in.
Thank you. Thank you.yrs sinecurely
Gas C. Rankin Station -
One can't help feeling that splashing an actual bucket of actual water would have been cheaper, if not perhaps quite as realistic.
was it W.C Fields who might've said:
"Never work with children, animals or water"well I'm sure he said:
"You can't trust water: Even a straight stick turns crooked in it."Water wranglers are so expensive...
Apparently the American Government owns it al lthese days anyway...
woe betide anyone who wants to use it for mere entertainment!Also it can be notoriously prima donna-ish and over act
(remember all tthose scenes in Thunderbirds where the water
was just too big!)best we hook a Shekel & Hydro-Power Station up to a massive Server Farm and render that sucker in Hi-Res and Slo-Mo.
yer actual bigger splash is a Hockneyed cliche... : )

What the flick?
They didn't rip Kirk's shirt! All movie!
sorry I ain't seen the new movie as yet - next Tuesday : )
I was referring to misty eyed memories of TOS

I hear the traffic is Mordor up there
while some Sauron flyovers and others
burrow through halls of stone...One Ring Road to rule them all,
One Ring Road to find them,
One Ring Road to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them...This madness must be halted,
We must Rail against it!Part of the nature of the Ring Road
is that it slowly but inevitably corrupts
its users, regardless of any intentions
to the contrary.The Ring Road must be cast into
the heart of Mount Doom

That didn't mean I wasn't aware of its flaws. All Trekkies are,
For me it was the stitching, sometimes the chest insignia looked like the badges on my boy scout shirt, bad tension and puckering, and the action gussets on Cap'n Kirk's shirts were always set to rip at the drop of a gauntlet... Get Ngila on the job.
I mean this was the future surely fabric science had moved ahead?
Still I tuned in for the weekly perils of going against the grain - but I'm biased.They never did find that missing Bosun Higgs did they?
