I think they very well might if 5 accountants were found murdered in one smallish town.

I have returned. From Edinburgh.

Let joy be unconfined.

Catch up with yez later.

Welcome back, McT.

I once locked my keys in the car in Edinburgh, just outside an eatery called "Gobble 'n' go". A classy establishment, as you can imagine.

Ipswich Murders: Strange, the way this man's name, particulars and even a broadcast interview has been all over the media.
Whatever happened to "a man has been detained, is not yet charged, and has been helping the police with their enquiries"?

We didn't use to do things this way. Can a defence lawyer say a fair trial is now impossible? I think the police have cocked this up.

It is a place where waste has been buried out of sight.

Grubbing around in such places is not generally considered nice.

If five accountants were murdered in one small town Spendi, the troops would have been brought in.

I agree wholeheartedly with Dorothy, the families of these young ladies have more than enough on their plates without the constant heckling from the media. Which is what it is!

You missed mine Mac. But I don't laugh at such things.

How could anybody miss your's when you nudged-nudged wink-winked it like a pier head comic on a hot day.

Should I believe this, or not, children?

Hey one of my back teeth has split right across. How the heck did that happen? Must try to get an emergency appointment tomorrow.

Don't want to risk any chompers problems over Crimbo.

What's "an emergency appointment tomorrow"

I thought "emergency appointments" were for NOW!.

spendi, That you are unable to understand that some "emergency appointments" need not be immediate shows us your inability to understand and communicate ideas that most others understand.

c.i.

If ever one of those captains of a jetplane you are riding on puts out an emergency call to ground control I think you will expect an immediate response. With alarm bells ringing and foam being spread on the nearest runway wherever it is.

Tomorrow would be curtains I'm afraid.

An emergency appointment tomorrow is a contradiction in terms and there can't possibly be any discussion on it.

Unless you wish to rewrite the dictionary of course which I know from the ID thread that you have a fancy for doing.

When I practiced domestic relations law (many years ago), I would on occasion be asked to draw up paperwork for an "emergency divorce," usually supported by the affidavit of a mental health practitioner. Invariably, these were often filed and granted the next day, or a few days later. If the divorce was not an "emergency," it would be granted a minimum of 30 days later.

It appears the term "emergency" is relative. And to that there can be no discussion.

spendi, You can do better than a jet plane scenario to describe an "emergency appointment." I'm sure you can also provide us with a scenario where the "emergency appointment" can be a few days before anything should or can be done. Have you ever had a toothache on a weekend?

Such concern shown over my medical emergency!

I discovered the damage around 22:00 hrs last night. My dentist works normal hours. I will phone the surgery when it opens this morning. His appointments book is full. I imagine they will fit me in when they can. I am not in any pain. (Or only, when I read Spendy's posts) I will ask for an emergency appointment, as that is the widely-understood term for what I need: in other words, not a routine appointment which will take weeks or even months to get. I will go equipped with a dictionary so that I can more easily convey to the practice receptionist the problems attendant upon couching the exact terms of such a request.

Then maybe I can get my tooth fixed before Crimbo.
