This weekend i went to my boyfriend lee;s work do in birmingham , we got put up in an absolutely wonderful hotel - all expenses paid... so imagine the state of the guests in reception on sunday morning. Cant wait for the photographs to come out as inside the hall where the party was held (international conference centre in birmingham) was a full size carousel , dogems, and a twister!!! which was quite an amusing site at 1am when 500 pissed up partygoers in ball dresses and dinner jackets were all scarmbling to get into dogems to bump into fellow workers. no injuries that i can remember but then i cant really remember past 11pm. Wasnt too bad by sunday afternoon so must be the fastest recovery that i have had for a while. oh well only 10 more xmas dinners, a xmas party and a xmas trip to london to go then its xmas itself and i'm cooking this year for the first time..... so that will be a ball.!!!

A wonderful friend of mine (now deceased as a result of an Underground fire at Paddington Square) took me to stay at the Dorchester about five years ago.
All I could say was "WOW"!
The people in the casino were so glamorous, and I had an awesome time.
I had a wonderful visit in London, hope to get back someday (If I ever win the lottery).

Nope!

Bodyworlds
Adele Posted Dec 4, 2002
Well, everyone i know who has been to this exhibition has said its great but for me it sounds a little bit freaky. Basically all the exhibits are real humans who have donated their body after death for exhibition. A bit like carrying a donor card with a twist i suppose. its supposed to be education, science and art mixed together. go to www.bodyworlds.co.uk and click on the english link and it will tell u all about it. But i'm sure i iwll let you know next monday how it all went.

It sounds fantastic, actually.
I'm not one to shy away from things like that. I've dissected human remains for some classes I took. It was all very interesting
Is this the exhibition that was banned in the States, because of religious right-wing groups?

yeah i think so - its been banned in the uk now so its only on for another week or so. the fella who runs it some gernman professor or other did the first public autopsy on channel 4 lastweek and it got loads of complaints. but what i cant see is why people complain if there not interested in watching it they should have just turned it over.... oh well.... should be interesting. they have one exhibit of all of the arteries in the body but nothing else. they did it by pumping polymor (or something like that) through the arteries then stripping the body and skelton away just living the arteries..... there is also one of deformed stillborn babies and a pregnant women cut in half and just showing the womb and foetus intact. - which i suppose is highly controversal but still its life and it happens..........

I guess we simply have to allow squeamish people the right to their own phobias. Sights like those are not on everyone's "have-to-see" list.
I have to marvel, though, that some people can not understand that if it weren't for human dissection, medical miracles would never have happened. We humans needed to learn about our bodies to be able to understand how two heal them.
We could never have prospered as a race if we were still leeching ourselves to cure appendicitis, and faulty 
valves.
I admire people brave and resourceful enough to do those things.

Great
I hope you don't think me morbid
I simply have great respect for people who step out of the ordinary (and possibly acceptable), without doing something perverse and illegal.
