Sand-Yeti Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 i am also the guy you call when the naughty rag heads decide to have a go in UK, Welcome to the forum Smudge. I note this is your first post. In the Pre-Kite Crowd days known as the Flexi forum a comment like that would have earned you 3 infraction points. I still have 3 infraction points for a lesser crime. I cannot and do not need to justify my job but still get paid each month. Good winds wherever you fly your kite. Incidentally, have you read the Kite Runner? Explains a lot about Afghanistan Quote
Docgreen Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 I'm an anaesthetist... I keep people alive while the surgeon tries to kill them. Actually, lots of people don't have a clue what we do, because the better we do our job, the less you notice it. It's difficult to deliberately make someone unconscious without killing them, then keep them alive while someone cuts them open and rips out an organ, then return them to consciousness without having pain, nausea, vomiting, bleeding, brain damage, a stroke, a heart attack etc.. mate i take my hat of to you sir...... currently driving 32 ton aggregate lorry ... if we didn't drive then nothing would get built moved or delivered ... though i have a full class one so can drive any truck ... no trucks on the roads there would be no food to eat ... and nothing on any shelf in any shop in any street Quote
