    In Despair

    Another option, although delaying the inevitable is to get a storage unit and get it moved into that. You can work through it in your own time then once you have your new place sorted. You’ll pay a bit more but buy yourself time

    RATS!

    Swing bin liners are cheap and effective for disposal, drop the deceased into the bag, twist the neck and double it over with a cable tie or knot the twisted neck. This will contain the smell

    French government expected to issue all citizens with survival manual

    100% agree with you here. It’s unfortunate that people seem to always be lumped into “posh” or not. I bought my council house, the one next door still council. The family there keep their place immaculate, clean their cars every Sunday, pay for repairs themselves etc. I wouldn’t say they were...

    Medical scenarios

    I like the idea and would certainly have a go as a participant. From my experience even professionals disagree with each other over medical matters, I’m talking at top emergency surgeon level as well. Every trainer thinks that their training is the best. I teach first aid at an Emergency...
