Yep. Little Miss BW is big into Halloween and we thought it would be a fun thing for her to do before she decides it's no longer cool.
How big is Salem, by the way? Looks quite small so having thousands of people descending on it for a week or two every year must be a bit mental.
Salem is very walkable.
I think we only got a cab from the train station to our hotel and after that we walked everywhere including the Hocus Pocus filming locations as Mrs RC is a fan of that movie - was mainly some old settler village and then the kid’s house with the funny roof room, oddly that house is right on the shore which you don’t see in the movie.
Salem is very pretty with some nice pubs and restaurants as well as all the witch trial stuff. Which when you think about it was a) madness as all that shit followed on about 200 yrs after the European equivalent and b) a piss-poor effort, we murdered far more innocents than they did and the Germans went proper German for it.
Yeah Salem isn't very big at all.
Ipswich have three stars on their badge, for the First Division, FA Cup, and UEFA Cup.
Next thing you know Notts will be adding one for Charlie Palmer.
Apparently Steve Jobs ,
How did that work out Steve? Just because you're one of the richest men in the world, it doesn't mean you know the answer to everything. It's a shame so many people hang on every word of these parasitic billionaires.
I'm honestly astonished you're just learning this, it was widely known at the time.
. Never a fan of Apple, so I had no interest in what he was up to. The whole deity worship of him particularly irritated me.
I'm not professing to have the advanced qualified medical knowledge and understanding of, say Chic or Facebook, but 10 years or so with pancreatic cancer without chemo, radio and the accompanying side effects isn't bad going, is it?
I don't think you have to be an Apple fan boy (I'm anything but) to have at least a passing knowledge of one of the most famous people in the world. It was pretty much all over the news, they made movies about it and everything.
So much assumption. A variant of pancreatic cancer? How bad was it? How does it normally progress? Any external factors? Etc
I don't know the answer to most of those, but given he is dead I'm going to say it was quite bad. Definitely not the good pancreatic cancer.
Not really. I mean, I don't know. That's why I asked the question.
But in reference to his persistence as opposed to otherwise, it seems less binary.
My uncle and a good mate both died of pancreatic cancer, both were given months to live on diagnosis and that's what they got. I think the problem with it is it is rarely caught early. I'm guessing Jobs caught it early if he lived ten years with it.
The problem with Pancreatic cancer is that it always spreads to the liver. Once that happens you are well and truly fucked. Jobs was told that he would live if he had his pancreas out before the cancer spread. He refused. He acknowledged later than this was a terrible mistake and that his ego had killed him because he thought he knew better. He didn't.
Anyway MRNA vaccines for cancer are being developed and should be available in most parts of the world. Not sure about the States because y'know Fuckwittery.
Chicago: Supercell.
