Mick do you want more? The parts I did not give to Bleth. The horror of what I had become.
Thailand saved me, my wife.

I do have some positives about Barrow, Furness hospital. I don't. The hospital had, for years, a well known surgeon who was utterly incompetent at setting bones. If your were lucky your arm or leg would end up looking like a staircase. Those in the know would go to Lancaster for bone setting, even if in the direst agony. Bones were not an issue. The psychiatric department was first class. |

I do have some positives about Barrow, Furness hospital. They revived me, sorry that guy, after an overdose, Then I walked out, against their advice. Next day I phoned for help, "Well you bloody walked out, now you are asking for help,, we will send a nurse to you, but, do not mess again,". Need I write more, PS, my ex wife worked there. What the freck did you do wrong in your past life to be reborn with some of the crap that you have been through? You beat the odds though, you're still with us. |

Bones were not an issue. The psychiatric department was first class. Absolutely no disrespect to you and your personal challenges. I do suspect, however, that they had a fair amount of experience of psychological issues. I remember teenagers in the Boys Grammar school regularly <duck>ed up on drugs and out of their minds. God knows what it was like at Alfred Barrow. |

You lucky twat. Goose Bay Canada, its that shite even the Canadians want ferk all to do with it, those Newfie jokes,  oh , its probably not PC to say so, but they are so true. Gawd Labrador is awful - anything in Goose Bay besides the army base, mosquitos and moose ? i should tell yee me son I call St. John's home  Not sure why d mainland twats joke about us so much (wish we never joined Canada), me tinks d are jealous we are all happy and smiling and one big family albeit mostly related to each oder on d rock and probabaly envious we gots d best seafood in d country. Our weadder is d best with today reaching 32 degrees Celsius (16 in d morning and 16 in d afternoon) Thats why you will never hear me complain about the mozzies in Thailand. You are right about the fish, best trout I have ever eaten. As for those mooses, , it always reminds me of this, they are effin big bastids, What a small world we live in. |

God knows what it was like at Alfred Barrow. I had been in rehab before. The Furness hospital got me on my feet. MIND, then took over. My second son now works for MIND in Ulverston. I do not want an argument; as usual I have been too open and told it as it is. I was not on drugs, never have been unless alcohol counts. Surprise it was a bottle of Jameson and prescription pills. As for the what did I do in a previous life, I have no idea, but this has been an adventure. I wish things had not been, but they were and I must be partly to blame, that I accept. |

Worst place I lived in in England was Northampton, Northamptonshire. I was living in what they called 'London Overspill' council estates housing people from the slums of inner-city London. The estates themselves were quite nice, new terraced houses in blocks of four with front and back gardens. Nicely landscaped parks with waterways etc. Unfortunately the inner-city Londoners brought their inner-city habits with them. Within no time the place began to look like Thailand with rubbish everywhere, graffiti, vandalism, got an old pram or bicycle you don't want? - thrown it into the lake. As for the behaviour of the kids! Eventually I moved into the Town proper. Needless to say the original Northampton residents weren't too welcoming of their fellow countrymen from London. , another shithole town not mentioned, Corby, Jock overspill, the highlight of the week, getting shitfaced in the Glasgow Rangers supporters club and knocking shoit out of each other, Truly tribal. |

Music time:
As usual no reason, just the first tune that comes up, although I was listening to Bartok, Piano Concerto 2 earlier. I do have strange tastes, hell that tom yam wife cooked up was a bit spicy:

Wiluna Western Australia - what a dump. I actually worked on the mine 10kms from the Township but had to go into town every day. The Club Hotel had to be seen to be believed. It had two bars, one (the saloon) you had to be (well) dressed and behaved to drink in, and the public bar. This bar had a metal mesh grill separating the serving area from the bar itself there being a small hole/hatch in the mesh through which drinks were served and money passed hands. No glasses or bottles, only beer in aluminium cans was sold. No ashtrays, no barstools, tables were solid concrete affixed to the floor. On pension days the large police force were put on full alert. The only town in Australia AFIK that the Racial Discrimination Act was specifically amended for. Off sales to Indigenous persons were forbidden, and woe betide any non indigenous person buying alcohol on their behalf. I was always being pestered to do so but didn't want to risk a hefty fine.
On pension days the large police force were put on full alert.
Good Gawd Toknarok, you are supposed to be talking of bad places, you have just described my idea of a perfect bar. That's it, I'm currently looking for flights and trying to find the place on Google maps. Mr Tiger, check this out, I shouldnt laugh really, but I have been in shebeens such as these, Cant remember the name of the follow up to this film, anyone remember? |

My last apartment in Seattle before I moved to Asia. It was maybe 20 sqm, It had been carved out of the basement of an SFR by a greedy landlord who wanted two rental units from one. I could stand in the middle of the apartment and touch both walls of the place at the same time. That said, it some charms. I had my own Hell.

When i was living in Bristol, i lived for 2 years in the Nurses home at Blackberry Hill Hospital. Now this was an interesting place, as it was previously a prison during the Napelonic wars. I am not sure if i can call it a bad place to live, though it was pretty basic with paper thin dividing walls, shared kitchen, bathrooms and showers. Luxury it wasn't but , it was right next to work, and we had two social clubs on site, and a pub pretty much outside the front entrance.
Worst thing was the <duck>ing Salvation Army band who used to turn up on a Sunday morning and play in the car park, right outside my room, or mad Tony one of the patients, who used to roam around the grounds shouting at the top of his voice.

It's a national monument - if it has to be maintained then it has to be maintained.
