The old Hospital was demolished in 1969. Just for the record.

Ask him when you see him next. I worked with him for years and I know what he is like, but that spooked us I tell you.

It was either late 76 or early 77, same time they were knocking down the TB hospital at Ventnor and all the goings on there.

64 it closed for good, they certainly did good work there against TB.

TOF - I'm wondering if the soiled undercrackers are a regular occurrence for a gentleman of a certain age.....

[theoldfart2]

Bloody hell, how the memory fades. 

I would have put money on that hospital being knocked down in 76.
dont know how I got those dates together, must have been a bit of yarning in the Nammet hut about it that put the dates together.

certainly there was a lot of publicity about it.

My Uncle was down there 5 half year,but he finally made it.

And for goodness sake don't start about moist undies.

Every bloody time I go for a pee more than once a night Mrs OldFart forces me to the bloody doctors to have my prostrate checked.

Not helped by all these sodding adverts on the radio about having to go too often or too quickly.

I know they mean well but ,it comes to something when you can't get up for a piddle in the middle of the night without being in fear of being frogmarched to the Health Centre to have the doc stick his ( extremely chubby) finger up yer bum.

Its got so bad I puts a cloths peg on the old bugger now at night!

Putting all things in to perspective m8, it does appear that
somethings not quite right ?

Seeing strange things from another world.
Being incontinent.
Not able to remember dates and times.
Walking about in the middle of the night with a cloths peg on your manhood,

Mate, you ever see "One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest"

Best be careful m8!

Nothing wrong with getting things checked out at the docs. Saved my life. I lost count of the number of fingers up my backside (not all at once) and not all of the docs were men. Only a problem now when I cough.

[theoldfart2]

Seen it?

I was the reason Ken Kesey wrote it!!

Fabulous Film - I still get quite moved when the Chief puts the faucet through the Window

and runs off into the night at the end - and wasnt that Nurse Ratshit an utter Cow

I think she got an Oscar

[theoldfart2]

Strangely enough I read the book again last weekend.

If you never have read it, it's a must,as it is told by the Indian.

utterly brilliant.

Louise Fletcher played nurse 'rat shite' and scooped all the awards that year.

I forgot that Danny De'Vinto was in the film as well.

And. I am certain it was out in 1976,

Great film!!!

But I thought Nurse Ratchet was firm but fair.!  

[lighty]

How many outtakes did they have to do, for her to keep a straight face?
Remember she was acting, her complete indifference came across in her eyes
as well as her face. She deserved the Oscar just for the feeling expressed from her eyes.

Never fort of reading the book oldF, I am a great reader so must give it a whirl...
cheers

With Jack Nicholson around quite a few I would think.

one of my favourite sayings of his is.

"my mother can never see the irony when she calls me 'A son of a Bitch' "

Incidentally, if you have ever watched  'Boston Legal' with William Shatner, you should know about the aphrodisiac effects that putting cloths pegs on the ear lobe have on men.

Basically it works like accipuncture.  

Far better than Viagra.

Mind you, you have to get just the right spot or it won't work.
