Hamster wrote: My word ....I step out of the surgery for an hour and it turns into a chat up line discussion...

I am seriously worried as to the ethics of your "surgery" doctor G....I may even have to seek a second opinion!!


I just answer the questions as I get them, if this leads to violence, causal sex, hospital bills, the need of a good lawyer, or a small war I cannot be held accountable. Its all there in the small print. ;)

My second opinion is that I may need to set up a Recrimin-Agency in order to deal with the problems caused by my advice column. Thank you hamster, you have done medical science a great service today. :rolleyes:

That is a fair assessment I think.

Hamster wrote: Now then Doc..for sure you must be a two bit operation if you are running without any insurance against any eventually (wars included) ???


You don't need insurance if you have already have signed away any responsibility by contract. Its easy, just ask Tony Blair about Iraq, its the same principal.

That said, its still sensible to keep a bullet proof jacket handy somewhere.

Interesting, I presume I will be given a blunt plastic penknife and you will be provided with an AK47 assault rifle and a full magazine, well thats fair I suppose. :thinking:

See the trouble you've gotten me into now? Of course my instant reaction whenever I am being told off to immeaditaly get worse at whatever it is that is annoying people. :)

My advice is to shoot as many bullets as you can and start running in case you don't hit me. :wah:

Not that you could ever be annoying anyway:o


Thank you, though I can assure you I can be a very, very annoying person if I choose to be. Happily, I am far too fond of everyone at FG to ever do this.

Hamster wrote: How fast do you run dear Doc? :thinking:


Well, I used to play right-wing when I was young and fit, but unfortunatly I would probably not catch you before you shot me, but I can still throw a knife pretty good. That said, a plastic penknife is only likely to cause a slight bruise, so perhaps I should consider my options. :thinking:

Its my experience that the only way to treat an armed woman is like a lady. I do not fancy my chances armed only with a soggy tea-towel and a blunt plastic penknife.

If I was naked, she would definetly shoot me as a mercy killing. Now what was that problem you were having with the tennis ball? I am sorry about being blunt in the recriminagency, but here I try to be nice. :rolleyes:

No, her first instinct would be to put me out of my misery.

I'll have to set the Galballyettes on you again if you don't stop putting yourself down!:sneaky:


As you know Pinky, I try to be as honest as possible. Perhaps she would not shoot me immeadiatly as a naked Irishman with a soggy teatowel and a plastic penknife is not something you see everyday. Well at least she would wait until I started talking probably. I would advise that you beware of men who think too much of themselves, their confidence can be attractive, but they usually don't much about anybody else as they are far too busy being pleased with themselves.

Well, as long as they aren't long streaks of misery either, there is a balance to be struck of course.

If I had to die, it would be fitting that the last thing I heard would be your mockig laughter, I only have myself to blame. I dunno what it is, but my relationships with women always end up with me naked, holding a wet towel, looking down the barrel of a gun. Is it me, or is that the way its supposed to be? :thinking:

Good, I'm glad. Life is too short to be miserable all the time, though if you are in an indie rock band it can be useful.

Dear Dr Ballbuster, Ive found this article but Im slightly unclear on what theyre babbling about. I just want to be invisible. Can you throw a dog a bone ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------



Invisibility cloak unveiled in the US

19 October 2006

A mainstay of science fiction and prized possession of the young wizard Harry Potter, the invisibility cloak is also of great interest to the defence and intelligence communities. As a result, a great deal of research (both secret and public) has gone into the development of materials that can hide objects from prying eyes – or at least radar systems. Now researchers in the US and the UK have claimed the first public success (Scienceexpress 1133628).

David Smith and colleagues at Duke University in North Carolina have used specially-structured materials called metamaterials to create a device that can make an object almost invisible to the microwave radiation used in some radar systems. Based on a design by the physicist John Pendry of Imperial College, the cloak bends microwave radiation around the object, like water flowing around a smooth stone. This makes both the cloak and object invisible to an observer because the radiation does not appear to be scattered or absorbed by cloak or object.

Yes Nomad, whats your question? We have already starting debating the use of the invisibility technology in Premier League English Soccer, and I'm sure that the applications for American Football are equally exciting, now whats your specific query?

Nomad, I am still waiting for the results from your invisibility test, I am wondering is there any specific psychological reason why you would wish to be unseen by other people?
