Anyway, enough! All will (presumably) be well. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1613#post-4518 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 17:28:46 +0000 Hunter F. Thompson 4518@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I recall that there are devices which send mild electrical stimulus through slow-healing bones and that this accelerates mending, dubbed <a href="http://orthopedics.about.com/od/castsfracturetreatments/p/electrical.htm">"capacititive coupling".</a><br /> <blockquote>The most notable effect is that this type of electrical stimulation seems to cause bone cells to proliferate. There are other cellular effects of electrical currents on the broken bone, but by stimulating bone cells to divide, healing of bone is accelerated. The skin electrodes are worn at all times, and the battery is changed daily.</blockquote> </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1613#post-4507 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 16:21:30 +0000 PluckyMunky 4507@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It's coming on slowly, Mr T, thanks, not at the speed it should. the physio's are taking an age to get me on their books and its physio i need. all down to nhs 'targets', no doubt. i hope all is well in the Thompson abode. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1613#post-4505 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 16:11:32 +0000 Hunter F.

I hope you can also find another home for it. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1613#post-4480 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 10:55:14 +0000 Hunter F. Thompson 4480@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thank you for your note, Mr Munky. The sheer unmitigated erudition of your remarks has obliged me to reflect that, having mixed all the known metaphors for malign empowerment, and seeing that they don't particularly jar the ear, I have coined a title. I <em>was</em> tempted by Dinner for Two at Little Gidding, but it is off the main track and might enable another mocking quatrain (so I'm saving it). </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1613#post-4476 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 10:27:18 +0000 PluckyMunky 4476@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>That's very good, Mr Thompson. I love the word 'sempiternal'. TS Eliot used it to good effect in Little Gidding.</p> <p>Midwinter spring is its own season<br /> Sempiternal though sodden towards sundown,<br /> Suspended in time, between pole and tropic.</p> <p>Is, Some Problems with the Catholic Church and Other Things, a better title, or not? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1613#post-4468 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 09:28:23 +0000 Hunter F.
