My mum was 38 when my youngest brother was born and she remembered attracting some attention on the maternity ward. She was as old as some of the other women’s mothers !
She was advised to get sterilised, which she did, as five pregnancies (four to term) had contributed to very bad varicose veins (some of them deep) in her legs. The doctors were worried that the consequent phlebitis might be a threat to her life.

Phenomenal talent, and I love the anecdotes about Irish Tour '74.
Also Rod de’Ath. I mean, what the hell? That album sounds like there’s an octopus on drums and then he trips up running for a train?
Years ago, I taught people how to drive buses. Was great fun!
Today, someone I trained told me he’s going to a Long Service Award event. 15 years!
He thanked me for what I did way back then. I said he’s the one that did the work and congratulated him for his long service.
It does feel nice to be recognised! 
Darwinated. 
Could only have been bettered by the bear leaping out the tree and taking out the entire party.
I mean how much of a cunt have you got to be to go bear hunting in the first place and then shoot the thing when it flees up a tree.
I suspect that has already been established, by us and the bear…
If you read the article, that has happened - if you shoot a bear, you need to be fucksure you have killed a bear…
This is why our wise ruling classes only hunt things that can’t fight back…
And not be standing underneath it when it dies.
Good news
A really touching story:
A step towards the land of the free stopping murdering it’s own people?
Nope, just a blip before Trump rolls in and gets the death penalty machine rolling again.
