Do you ever feel like you were born to the wrong family? My cousin who was born 3 days before me (hence we were close as kids) just posted on Facebook "laying in bed trying not to feel old now I'm going to be a nanna". WTF? She's 32!
I couldn't bring myself to respond.

Does your family tree lack branches?

I just thought of a witty retort to something my tutor said to me in 1989. He's dead now, so I guess it's not really quick enough

Somebody I don't know (at least I think I don't know) kindly posted one of my images to reddit today. Consequently my Flickr stats are almost six times more than what they usually average for a single day. That's nice that someone liked one of my images so much they wanted to share it in such a way.

Watched a bit of Crimewatch last night. It occurred to me that if a skeleton is found then there's no way of knowing whether that person had gone through gender reassignment and so they may ask about a reconstruction of a man and whether you knew them or not when in actual fact they lived their lives as a woman. You wouldn't know that from the skeleton.
I guess it won't happen that often though.

You bored last night Dan? Random I'll give you that. Not that I've been thinking about this but dont some people going through gender reassigment have ribs removed, hips and facial alterations or did I just make that all up?

Lol, something like that Rich, the GF was on ebay most of last night. She's a bit obsessed at the mo. If I'm left for longer than 5 minutes my mind becomes full of random tangents.

I have a friend who went through gender reassignment. It's very unusual to have anything more than the reconstruction and maybe a boob job. In which case, a skeleton with the breast implants would probably be deemed to be female, even allowing for the pelvis being of the male form.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I've seen something similar with high pressure injection injury - Hydraulic oil though in my case. Not pretty.

I hope he asked for a pay rise due to inflation.
