It certainly does deserve poking!Thinking back to that insurance thing about "unoccupied properties, other than... " I thought of another way of exposing the silliness:
"(I) Is the top of the insured's head not less than 1.613 metres above the soles of his feet during the day (other than stooping, bending, sitting, laying down or doing hand stands)?
(ii) Is the top of the insured's head not less than 1.613 metres above the soles of his feet during the night (other than stooping, bending, sitting, laying down or doing hand stands)?"
OK, I understand the security implications in the original, but it still deserves poking.
I shall try this tonight, Ninny. Only just seen it - from 2007 !!Ninny wrote:This really works! Turn on the World Service.

When you've got one, listen for a B - and so on. Sleep in no time!

I'm being monitored for blood pressure for 24 hours (nothing too serious and blood pressure is usually pretty OK), but the machine automatically measures it every half hour throughout the day and every hour overnight. The noise of the machine and the inflating cuff on my arm were enough to stir me. Feeling very tired now but have another hour before I can take it off and have a shower...
At least the error message isn't 'Sorry, you're dead'!Dave B wrote:If I get error codes it is udually because I am off the bottom end of the cal range!
Goodness... but we have to know: is it your small dog or a random passing one?Dave B wrote:Blimey, it' amazing what one can sleep through!
Only for 1 1/2 hours (and delayed my pain killer) but it is something!
Oh, slight change, small dog now chewing my toes - but not too hard . . .
