The garrote was the principal device used for capital punishment in Spain for hundreds of years. Originally, it entailed a mode of execution wherein a convict would be beaten to death with a club (garrote in Spanish). This later developed into a practice of strangulation by which the condemned was tied to a wooden stake with a looped section of rope placed around his neck. A wooden stick would then be placed in the loop and twisted by an executioner, causing the rope to tighten until it strangled the prisoner to death. As time went on, the execution method was modified in the form of a wooden chair to which the condemned was bound, while the executioner tightened a metal band around his or her neck with a crank or a wheel until asphyxiation of the condemned person was accomplished. Watch yourself Dave http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrote First Ive known of that execution method
We thought we were having withdrawals and these lot have a cup final at the weekend! http://www.not606.com/showthread.ph...-as-a-city-in-the-media?p=6497204#post6497204
Friday tomorrow PS...I may not be at work on the tradition Friday but I won't be "off" either. I'm doing a sponsored abseil through work to raise funds for Great Almond Street Hospital
I thought you were meant to do something hard to raise money, like a long run, a long cycle.. not just sliding down a building on a rope and letting gravity do all the hard work P.s good on you doing something for charity though.
One of the groups that use the centre I work in work with people with physical or mental disabilities. One of their clients had a heart operation at Great Almond Street Hospital ten years ago and this is what she chose to do in celebration. We are doing the abseils throughout this week and the end total height will be equivalent to the highest mountain in Europe (name escapes me). Myself and a few others were asked to join in to help with numbers and fundraising.

Not bad, not bad. Isn't 16 still legal?? I was running so didn't get exactly the best look but I would say at least as nice, gonna google now.
