Yep, that would be the one. That's pretty much why he left the medical profession I think. Had a habit of moving the jaws of recently deceased corpses with one hand while imitating a voice himself, as if it were speaking.

Earned him a few odd looks, I imagine.

Hmm. Looks like my first impression were right, then. :|
I have handled quite a few deceased bodies in my time, and am pleased to say that I have never seen them treated with anything but the greatest respect - even down to the gentle way in moving them, as though they were still alive.

I guess we can all be grateful that he left such a caring profession!!!

Nicely put, Nigel. Respect at all times in life and death, as we also upheld in the hospital I worked for.

Er I think JamieUK is joking on this one guys. Harry Hill is very funny indeed. Rather slapstick perhaps but I quite like a bit of that sort of humour now and then.

No, I think it's really true. I wouldn't bet my pension or house on it, but I think it is.

If I search for a word and the thread I'm looking for doesn't come up on the first page, I generally have to wait ages till it allows me to click on page 2. The same happens if I want to refine my search, or start a new search. A message comes up saying something like, "Sorry, you cannot search at this time. Please wait and try again." It doesn't always happen, but it happens quite often.
I find this happenin' quite often too. Is it 'cos my computer is either a Windows XP with 32-bit Intel Pentium II or an early first-generation iPad?

Post-script: what is"Do not automatically parse URLs" and what is BBCode? Is it anything related to the BBC?

Searching is intentionally limited by the forums, so no matter how fast your computer us you cant search any faster. The BB Code has nothing to do with the BBC except sharing its initials.

"Do not automatically parse URLs" means "Do not make links clickable".

BBCode is formatting that uses square brackets, e.g. [ i ] text in italics [ / i ].

What's the point of a link if it's not clickable? :?

A link is not a link if it isn't clickable, is it?

Not sure what the exact definition of a web-link is, but I'd assume it would be a web address that when clicked on would take you to that site.

I suppose some people may not trust links on websites so disable them in case they accidentally click on one. If they did want to visit that site they could copy and paste the not-link into their browser address bar.
