Oiii you, I posted a birthday thread for you yonks back and you didn't even notice!

Thank you. I hadn't noticed. I am/was too busy elsewhere on and offline. On my birthday, apart from visits by the extended family I was trying to finalise a talk to my pensioners' group on some of my misspent youth...

More useless information from the drain expert:

Medical advice suggests that pee is useless on jellyfish stings. Salt water is slightly effective on the stings of some jellyfish. Pee and fresh water isn't. Vinegar can give better relief. The appropriate treatment depends on the variety of jellyfish.

Did you know that the Roman Emperors taxed pee? It was collected and used in the treatment of cloth. When an Emperor's son queried the propriety of taxing urine, the Emperor held up a coin and said "Pecunia non olet" = Money doesn't smell.

That was true then when all money was metal coins. It isn't true now. Traces of illegal drugs can be detected on many large denomination notes. In some areas of the UK (and US) most notes can show drug traces.

Not sure where I'd be but I do know I love this kind of stuff - this in particular.
Great stuff! Thank you for posting it!

I hope your pensioners survived!

They say they want more. It was part one of three. But several of them admitted that they wouldn't have liked to have had some of my experiences e.g. frantically learning how to dig a slit trench in No Man's Land under an artillery exchange.
