Protecting the head ...
New research tells us how to protect the head when engaging in potentially-risky activities. Could be a useful one when facing a well-meaning friend who has silly ideas ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6190391.stm -- not me guv |

Hint And there was talk of a voucher system for helmets, wasn't there? /Hint If just one child.....er...no, that won't work ;-) Oh, I dunno, though. When the infant me had an upset stomach, my mother used to give me gripe water, which in those days contained an appreciable amount of alcohol; and I developed a taste for it. This laid the foundation for the excellent habit of head-protection which I continue to this day. Can't be too careful. -- Mark, UK better !pout !cry better watchout lpr why santa_claus north_pole town |

I for one was lucky enough to have been very well protected when I suffered my most serious head injury. Given the severity of that accident I am in little doubt that I probably wouldn't be here today without this protection. So what are your views on compulsion? |

I would be against compulsory binge drinking for cyclists though ;-) -- Tony "...has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate..."
