    He was in his Cell alone when it happened , he was monitored on cctv . They got to him and administered first aid .

    I think he probably ran headlong into a wall in a suicide attempt .

    Reported that children are becoming more interested in science and medicine due to the Covid crisis and the excitement around the Mars rover....with around a third of children now interested in a career in science and medicine. Suspect climate change also plays its part. Very important as scientific jobs will be even more important in the years to come....with the Government placing emphasis on building on our strengths in scientific and space industries. Apparently 45,000 people work in aerospace in the UK.

    Apart from that, I feel strongly that children should be woken up to the sheer beauty of scientific knowledge....the Universe is a wondrous and mysterious place and the interactions and relationships between all life on Earth is fascinating. So even if their main interests are elsewhere and they will never work in a scientific environment, an early introduction to science can awaken a lifetime awareness that will enrich their lives.

    Soapbox returned to cupboard....but at the front so it can be accessed at all times. :)

    Me too, met him 3 or 4 times as he was a neighbour to a friend of mine and such a lovely chap. Had time for everyone.

    I was at the Motor Show in 2007 or 2008 with my friend and he saw us and called us over to him and then sat and chatted for 15-20 mins. He was doing a book signing and when he found out I was a fan, before he went back to the stand he gave me his book, signed with the words "To Mark, great meeting you today, I hope you enjoy this as much as I have enjoyed writing it"

    Lovely man. RIP and thanks for all the memories.

    My aunt has been in hospital recently. She’s doing okay and has been passing the time by playing board games such as backgammon, draughts and mah-jongg.

    “Any chess?”

    “No, she went private”.

    :D

    A mate of mine has just told me he’s shagging his girlfriend and her twin.

    I asked him how he could tell them apart?

    He said “That's easy, her brother's got a moustache”

    I was in my local pub and I had nine treble whiskies lined up on the bar and I knocked them all back. The barman asked Is everything alright Marv? I replied Yes I'm just celebrating my first blowjob. The barman said As you are celebrating would you like another one on the house? I replied Nah its OK mate if nine doesn't get rid of the taste one more won't make any difference.

    George Kerr a Scottish Soldier, in full dress uniform,
    marches into a pharmacy.
    Very carefully he opens his sporran
    and pulls out a neatly folded cotton bandana,
    unfolds it to reveal a smaller silk square handkerchief,
    which he also unfolds -
    to reveal a condom.
    The condom has a number of patches on it.
    The chemist holds it up and eyes it critically.
    "How much to repair it?' George asks the chemist.
    "Six pence" says the chemist.
    "How much for a new one?"
    "Ten pence" says the chemist.
    George painstakingly folds the condom into the
    silk square handkerchief
    and the cotton bandana, replaces it carefully in his sporran,
    and marches out of the door,
    shoulders back and kilt swinging.
    A moment or two later the chemist hears a great shout go up outside,
    followed by an even greater shout.
    George marches back into the chemists
    and addresses the proprietor, this time with a grin on his face.
    "The regiment has taken a vote," he says.
    "We'll have a new one."

    My doctor has discovered that I'm allergic to rice.

    Apparently I'm basmatic.
