    Alright mate….just read this and yes, you are totally correct. The use of a Defib is literally a matter of life or death and we have it drilled into us that first priority in any arrest is to get the pads on, hit the analyse button and shock if necessary. If you can get the heart ‘reset’ quickly enough then the chances of survival are vastly improved.

    And again with your comment on training kids in Defibs….I’ve always said the exact same. They are piss easy to use. Once you know how it’s giving the patient a massive chance in living

    That must be almost 4 years ago (nearly) I remember you posting about it…and I hadn’t done one real one at that time.
    Weird now to think how many I’ve done, sweated over and had my arse filmed by the public :)

    Bamber Gascoigne dead at 87…..always used to seem a nice fella when interviewed in TV.
    I watched University challenge when I was a kid thinking I might one day get a question right…..think I was about 21 when I finally succeeded
    RIP Bamber…a posh person who I quite liked

    I still watch University Challenge from time to time - score myself one point if I get a question right, and two points if I get it and none of the Uni geeks do!

    Only Connect, that's a whole different ball-game of geeky nerdness, almost impossible to get a question right on that.

    If only University Challenge was like this....



    RIP Bamber <rose>

    The original great University Challenge host, it still amazes me how the participants don't appear on the big money quiz shows. We used to play a game at the Fire Station that the last person to get a correct question right used to have to do the washing up after dinner. More often than not we had to all do it. We didn't understand half of the quiz questions let alone answer them.

    It makes me laugh how the the host's scoffs at the silly answers offered by the colleges like 99% of us normal people could answer them. RIP Bamber

    RIP PJ O’Rourke, old school Republican satirist, very funny, very cynical, could eviscerate liberals but could turn his wit on his own team too, left the Republican Party because of Trump.
