I went with a very mad patient yesterday to Hammersmith Hospital, London and looked. He had a CT scan for physical illness bladder and the they don't sorta understand the mental health aspect. The NHS is amazing!

What did you do last week ?

Probably fuck all. Understand masculinity and femininism and violence Yeah.

I understood pretty much everything. Even cancer. I saw some scans yesterday. I'm allowed to see these things. Most people are not.

All for your physical and mental health however!


"What did I do last week?" Among other things I intervened when I saw a woman being verbally abused by a drunken man in the street. Needless to say he turned on me waving his beer can and called me an "interfering c**t, that it was his wife and he could speak to her any way he wanted". I stood my ground and told him he couldn't - though I was afraid he would hit me.

Please don't make judgments about us here - most of us come here to talk about archaeology and old stones but it doesn't mean we are politically and socially unaware. If your comments are aimed exclusively at Tiompan then I am going to be an "interfering c**t" again and tell you to back off. Without him this forum doesn't exist.



Well done for facing up to drunken bullies tjj . But do take care



Excuse me. No drunken bully. Who's being bullied now? You were talking about cancer? I went to a scan the other day and saw cancers. Actually saw them mutate. Some farmers and plant people out there see cancers in plants and bulbs, which have been there for millenia. I find your tone unfeasably patronising and middle class boring.

I'll fuck off to the music side then. So much for education.


You were ignored . What you had to say had nothing to do with my post .

I was responding to tjj .

If I was to respond to you it would have been obvious .

Read the posts .

What was your point about cancer in relation to the discussion ?

In what way are you being bullied ?


I have seen cancers in CT and in MRI scans. I work in a hospital. They have existed for millions of years, both in the animal and plant kingdom. They are getting worse though. In neolithic times cancer existed, but it was rare. People who work with wood and stone also use the term cancer. Even iron, although that is oxidation. It basically means to eat. Cancer cells are quite amazing things. They get a bad rep! Trouble is, we don't know how to deal with them yet.

Sorrry, I'm no expert in stones and would like to be more educated. I have the books and have got muddy!

I'm an expert in people though. It's my job!
