* modern medicine can do so much to repair injury and reverse diseases and their effects. But – on the strength of one clinical presentation a few years ago – one hospital specialty you don’t want to be under is respiratory. They can do relatively little to repair lung damage – the best you can hope for is to stabilise optimise what lung function you have.

From my Facebook feed part 1. My favourite here is the “my brother says there are no emissions from old vehicles” bit – I guess all those people with respiratory conditions* must be wrong, then.
Great to hear you’re on the
Great to hear you’re on the side of Mr Magoo. If his account is true, I can’t see how a court, if it ever gets to that, is going to find against him.
You might as well put sign up at a car park where certain of the pArkcos are active saying “O.K. Corral”. However, you look at the Callington example, daily driver ‘cheek’ is at first wearing then economically harmful, so you end up bringing one of them in.
Re: Debt collectors banging at the door. About 20 years ago somehow a c£100 debt was registered against me – it was either fraud or error. I think it may have been one of the glossy catalogue companies that was the fashion at the time. I remember the string of letters, each looking like it was from a different company – accountants, lawyers, etc but always the same basic message – the matter had been passed to them and please would I pay.
I did call a couple of them up early on, had a conversation that seemed to settle it, but still more letters came over the course of a year. That’s why I always preach “don’t bother” as regards trying to reason with them, it’s not about any of that.
Anyway, eventually it reached an actual debt collector with feet on the ground. I called a number which I think he’d posted through the door, had a good conversation (I.e. what I’d been saying all along) and that was the end of it. He wasn’t going to waste any more of his time, I surmise, on a fool’s errand.
