I had a hip resurfacing op 13 years ago - I was offered both the GA and an epidural and was told that you came round from the epidural a lot quicker but were awake all the time. The anaesthetist said "There is a certain amount of carpentry going on" so I had a general ! As they broke a couple...
You used to be able to buy a phone jammer in Hong Kong apparently that would cut everybody's phone off. Highly illegal here of course but I always wanted one - would have been so much use !
I would have gone and had enough points for tickets but I cannot stand for 90 minutes due to a back problem and since I wouldn't be able to see without standing that's not really an option. There's also the kettling by Teresa May's finest and the shuffling to and from the station which wouldn't...

Reminds me of those prize draw things you used to get from the Readers Digest and they were always signed by a "Tom Champagne" - presumably to make you think that, if you won, you'd be swilling the stuff down your neck at a rate of knots.
