Yes I asked to have a general when I had the same procedure done again. I totally embrassed myself with my talking when I was sedated (and an anaestist did it).
Have you thought about being the next Dr Hilary, Tim? He is is losing hair now.
Blimey. I've got to do a presentation! Page 5

Have you looked at Tim's avatar, DD? 
Quote: bigfella @ June 25 2009, 5:36 PM BSTActually your weight does'nt alter the amount of anesthesia you have. When I had my op I thought I would have to have the amount to knock out an Elephant ( herd) but its the same amount actually.
Weight is in fact a huge (sorry!) factor in anaesthetic doses and maintainance of anaesthesia. Plus ventilation, cardiovascular issues, blood loss, tolerance of position for surgery, peri-operative analgesia. Sorry to contradict you, bigfella, but weight (high or low) has serious and real implications for anaesthetists. 
I was put under for a 5 hour surgery and had a very hard time coming out of it. I didn't vomit, even though there is a family history of it. The worst part was being constantly pestered by a 300 year old nurse who reaked of cigarette smoke that she probably blew out of her trach hole in her neck. EEW!

5 hrs... that's a long time.

Yikes. Sounds like the pitch to Dead Scared minus the hypodermic in the eye.

Not when you're anaesthetised.
Yeah, she was nasty. A lot like the receptionist in Beetlejuice. So here I am, hooked up to all this equipment, groggy, getting pissed off at her for saying, Gotta wake up Honey!" and all I can do is snicker cuz I'm thinking about her with a cheap cigarette sticking out of her throat. Good times.

That's just a bad angle, Slag, honest. Actually I've always had a high hairline and am not actually balding or going grey yet. However, I did make the mistake of getting a number 3 crop all over a few weeks before that photo was taken. This was a mistake. Normally have a bit of a floppy fringe. I shall now try and find a new photo to emphasise my intact follicles in my bid to be the next Dr Hillary.
You're lucky, Tim. If I could grow my hair long enough for a No.3 to get at it, I'd be well chuffed. All you follically-blessed people have it easy, I tells yah.
The barber asked me if I wanted a number 2.
So I shat in his chair.

Are you sure it wasn't a sham poo?
Blimey. What's happened here?
Bound around like an over-eager puppy. Expect to get intio the BBC College of Comedy every time you enter. And load your signatures in comedy forums with a ridiculous number of links that nobody in their right mind would ever click on
Heh heh! OK, OK! The siggy is gone. I didn't expect anyone to click on them. Just doing a bit of SEO.
What advice did you give?
Hi Marc.
Well, the presentation part was basically explaining what I've done so far. (which isn't a lot - lol)
Then there was a tabletop session where I showed them some of my work (some scripts) and explained how I'd structured/written/got the ideas for them.
During this time, the advice I gave was be prepared for rejections (plenty of them), make sure your work is as best as you can get it, and some blurb about the importance of the first 10 pages.

well done!
Quote: Griff @ June 25 2009, 5:05 PM BSTNot true. He did not accuse anyone of being a troll. Like me, he merely posited the existence of trolls on the site. Which is apparently a bigger crime than certain posters who only come on here to dish out lies and abuse and remain unwarned.
It has quietened down a lot lately though so it was probably Bandage and Huge Bear after all.
P.S. Am I still on an official warning from the Aaronator?
