Carlisle, North East & West England

[MUSHET]

Oooooft, that's some mental weather down there. People going about on boats in Carlisle, getting rescued from their top floor windows and shit.

I had to drive in that neck of the woods over the weekend there, it was not fun.

Anyway, anyone from that area of the UK, I hope all is well and you've not been flooded.

One advantage of living at a slight altitude is not being flooded unless half the country resembles Atlantis.
It was stormy as Hell last night, cleared up now though.

 

[MUSHET]

Are you down that way Sprout?

NW, local claim to fame being Shipman and Brady. 8)

^ Psycho Killer by Talking Heads is playing in my head right now.

Well, at least Shipman is a record breaker, he killed like 200 odd folk, no fannying around.

I actually attended his practice, but was about 80 years too young to become part of the sickening count.
There are anecdotes suggesting he thought he was doing the right thing in prescribing a "painless death" via Opioid overdoses to those truly suffering.

 

[MUSHET]

Jesus, you attended his practice? Fucking hell. As you you say, at least you were a youngster.

 

[Sprout]

Aye, and the view of Saddleworth Moor from my bedroom window is the icing on the serial killer cake.
The hills have eyes, and a tendency to send people insane...

 

[MUSHET]

No wonder you take drugs.

Anyone read Heroinheads blog? if you don't you should - the best writer on the junkie experience bar none IMO http://memoiresofaheroinhead.blogspot.co.uk/

I always think about having a habit and living up there in a flood I guess the gear dries up or do you get canoe delivery?
