    Firstly I didn’t ask you – .

    My very deepest apologies; you should have made it plain that this is a private forum, and the lowly peasantry are not welcome to take part.

    Nothing to do with voluntary euthanasia and the lack of checks and balances.

    You asked for the name of a medical professional who committed murder, so I gave you one; don’t start shifting goalposts.

    According to the National Archives, she was renamed Dunkery Beacon, and registration ceased in 1955; they have something, dating from 1946-1955, but possibly not her wartime service.

    Just like John Green, then.

    Come on, admit it. He’s your dad, isn’t he?

    My father died 20 years ago.

    What planet are you on?

    I would be extremely loth to take English instruction from someone who 1/. uses “what,” when “which” is the correct interrogative pronoun; 2/. leaves out the major part, i.e. “living” from the phrasal verb “living on,” just to make some tortuous point, and 3/. sends me, for further instruction, to a writer who advocates the use of the ghastly “word” “gonna.”

    The only place I’ve ever found one is in the National Archives, in Kew. It’s a 4th. Edition, dated 1949. I photographed the pages, so, if you’d like a copy, let me know through a P.M.

    Before the advent of the dinghy, pilots had the luxury of a sheet of rubber on top of the parachute, for which Al Deere, for one, expressed his regret when they lost it. The lozenge-shaped depression, in the seat, was supposed to take the compressed-air inflation bottle, though pilots said that it still did obscene things to their backsides.
