    @Jolly said in "Not Guilty":

    It's a hard question. I certainly have no problem with a doctor trying to keep a dying patient pain-free.

    Indeed. It's not clear from the stories I've seen how "dying" these people were.

    I also know that opiate tolerance is definitely there in pain management patients. So elevated doses, within reason, could be argued.

    Trust me. 2 grams of fentanyl is WAY beyond elevated, or reason

    But many of his peers felt he had crossed the line into a form of euthanasia.

    I have a problem with a doctor arbitrarily making these decisions, without patient input.

    A forever colleague of mine got into similar trouble decades ago. It was, of course, a different time, so it was handled differently. It was, however, with the patient's and family's consent. Nevertheless he was thrown off the staff of the hospital and sent to work at a "sister" site where he finished out his career.

    One reason Trump rallies are fun...Trump, for all of his faults has a sense of humor. And while Trump does make fun of a lot of people, he can also poke a little fun at himself.

    And just down the street from Mr. Mills place is an Italian restaurant, named Da Remo, that we used to frequent.

    It was a great place, we would get 8 or 10 guys and spend several hours eating, drinking and smoking in the back room. We were mostly Americans just in the UK for work, so no wives to stop us from staying out late. We left huge tips and they loved us.

    Denham Village is a great place.

    Now that I think about it, there was a house rented by 5 or 6 guys just down the street from Da Remo. It had a regulation size (large) Snooker table. We spent a lot of time hanging around that table.

    You've got intense competition on streaming services for content now.

    I still advocate for somebody to set up a version of the old Hollywood studio system, where you could sign young talent cheap and develop them, along with using sets for multiple films and lowering costs. You could also use one of Hallmark's tactics and hire older, well-known actors in the twilight of their career for supporting roles...Those guys will usually work cheap, especially if the offered role is not taxing or if the part is written well.

    I'd spend a good portion of the money on writers, editors and directors, especially on up and coming talent.

    I think a company could make some very good movies and mini-series in the $1.5-$5M range.

    If you'd like all hardcovers, you can probably replace your paperbacks for less than $10 each. Condition will range from good to very good.

    Just do some searching at the website I linked.

    Or, being in Canada, you can read them electronically for free at The Faded Page.

    It takes decades of practice to get this good at posting nonsense on the internet.

    And we're only about 3 years away from reaching the "plural" goal here at TNCR!

    But it is Adolf Hitler who takes the cake.

    That guy is hilarious.

    The guy behind this show was Armando Iannucci, who also wrote the movie The Death of Stalin, and created the show Veep.

    A lot of folks on the show I've seen elsewhere; seems many got their start with this show?

    It actually started as a radio show, which I loved, called On the Hour. They’re available on BBC Sounds and are pretty much the same show but for radio.

    Steve Coogan was quite well known in Manchester before then and had done voices for Spitting Image. His Paul Calf character is a pretty accurate representation of the student hating locals. I think I was a student there at the same time he was.

    Her lived experiences give her unique insights into how to run that city. Imagine how bad things would be if a white male had been running the show.
