I'm with you op!

They should ban old people in hospitals as well, the nerve of them hanging around reminding me of my own mortality

Lo and behold

Fixed. I believe it is short for 'Look', which makes sense.

Of all the things that need fixing in the OP I bet you’re so chuffed with spotting that.

Thank you for correction

Haven't had chance to revisit the hospital but with the aid of an internet search engine I managed to find what the mural looked liked. Imagine something like these, 2 and a half feet across in a child treatement room and tell me it doesnt send a shiver down your spine.

...that's a perfectly normal thing to do.

Trollvester Trollone didn't have a cardiac arrest in A&E. He was having a stroke on the children's ward.

Trollvester Trollone found himself in A&E after the biggest billy goat griff knocked him off the bridge and into the river.

Lol @ name change, as always, but I think most of you are being unfairly dismissive (classic ‘bully the OP’). Would a big skull frighten a young sick child? Maybe? Depends how it’s done, Shirley. In the context of being within a scene of jolly pirates finding treasure it’s probably fine.

It's more than likely a cartoony style skull and crossbones rather than something you'd see on Black Sails.

New username is very apt.

No it doesn't send a shiver down my spine.

Do you honestly just get up in a morning and think "gee let me see what I can pretend to be offended about today" ?

The first one or two threads were mildly amusing... now you've become predictable

What by censoring pirate symbols? Really?

Think of all those kids lives that could be saved if only those pictures weren’t there!

The only thing that pops into my head is capt Jack Sparrow & PoTC, the first couple of movies of which where ok & the rest not so much, bordering on garbage, one thing they don't do is send shivers down my spine.

Stop being offended by nothing.

Yeah but you aren't seeing things in the context of having a poorly child being in a hospital a&e treatment room are you?

Having had my son in hospital a few years ago for a potentially life threatening operation, and can honestly say that wall decorations were the last thing on my mind, and I certainly wouldn't have been offended by them.
