How about "quadralingual intercourse" I once went to a talk about risk prior to my youngest going to a school trip to Dartmouth at an outward bound sort of place.(She loved it) The speaker described walking along a narrow plank a few inches off the ground, easy to slip and sprain your ankle. He compared that to a rope walk between trees with safety harnesses etc. Which is safer/?Which is perceived as more dangerous.?I haven't explained it well but I expect you'll get the jist. As for medical stuff, I could go on for hours. Nowadays people do not expect to have any symptoms or minor inconveniences, they must have immediate access to medical advice (which they'll probably argue with anyway). Never wait and see, let nature do her stuff. My friend had a rule of thumb with her four kids, something along the lines of asking herself this question:- If one of my children was ill and it was pouring with rain and the nearest 'phone box(oops giving our age away here- phonebox??) was a mile away ,would I walk there to call a Dr out? It's all too easy now, it's "my right" bla bla bla you must DEMAND that your Doctor sees you etc etc. The number of times people say "if I can't have a appointment this morning I'll go to A & E (ok, please do , enjoy the 4 hour wait) even if they are offered an appointment that afternoon. "I ,want an emergency appointment for little Johnny" "Ok , please bring him along at 11.30" "I can't , he's at school" or "I can't I've got a hair appointment" mmm define emergency.... oh dear i seem to have waffled on as usual! Maybe I'll try a podcast and bore the pants off anyone who happens to listen!
