Thread continued from here

The usual rules apply. Non-rugby talk here. Consider this a social place, but like a pub, things like religion and politics can be divisive, so don't say things here you wouldn't say to someone's face in the pub. Sober

This was my first thought. But I'm guessing you have other things on your mind

There is a serious appetite (for want of a better phrase) for freeze drying and keeping the placenta in other countries; it's only a matter of time before it becomes something here. They're now being made into face creams, health pills and artwork.

An extended family member is a midwife and does it in Australia. Makes about $10k on the side from it. Didn't believe it for a second when she told me.

Isn't that primarily in case the child requires stem cell treatment in the future?

I'm sure that's a potential option available for placenta retention.

This scenario is purely about new age health madness and artwork though.

The placenta itself is not kept in its frozen state but turned into smoothies, face creams, keyrings, artwork etc.

It must be a relatively new thing? My last was born 9 years ago and there wasn't a word about it at the time.

You were probably in the pub wetting the babies head at the time of the conversation.

Don’t. The chance of ever using them is minuscule and the cost is high.

So May survives the vote and after all of the bull****, only now is she trying get some consensus on a deal by crossing the aisle.

Looks like all of the opposition parties are telling her that a condition for negotiating is taking a hard Brexit off the table.

I also retired my S5 and went with a moto g5s plus. Not the greatest phone in the world but it's amazing how they've moved on in 3 years. I basically use mine to take pics, send invoices, browse the net and listen to music. We've come a long way from the Nokia 3310!!

That's me too, just add using Google maps.

Like seriously, bring out a phone with a browser, whatsapp, camera and google maps, and nothing else to drain the battery, I'll snap your hand off.

Corbyn giving a speech in the house of commons....

"I was in Brussels last week speaking to government ministers and heads of state, and do you know what they said to me?"

*voice from back*

"Who are you?"

Even the lad sitting behind him could barely hold in the laugh.

Once treated an elderly guy with heart valve infection. Usually see this sort of thing with drug users. Anyway turned out he kept syringes at home and had a thing where he’d suck up the water from the toilet bowl into the syringe then inject himself.

The things people do.

There was also the guy with the ubiquitous plastic aubergine where the sun don’t shine but that is more mundane TBH. I suppose the choice of aubergine rather than carrot was a touch of originality.
