I was doing some research for a book in Hanwell Insane Asylum. I got talking to some of the inmates (even though the asylum closed in 1992) and found a mixed ward (soon to be abolished under government proposals) specifically for YWO members. It was pretty sad to see them. I asked each one of them what they were doing, and these were some of the answers I got: 'Checking my email to see if I've got a review.' (But there were no computers in the ward). 'I'm waiting 'till the morning, lovey. I'll be in the Top Ten then just you wait and see.' Crying, a woman, who looked suspiciously like Pam1234..., Temperance, and Lin Lui combined said, 'They don't like my little story, I think I'm going to kill them.' 'I've been waiting days, months, years for a review. What's up with people? If they don't like reviewing they shouldn't be on here. I know what I'd like to do to them if I...' These were all people with addictive personalities, and I could understand how a system based on reviews, scoring, and charts might become addictive. There was a free bed, so I climbed in it and waited for the Dr to come round!  .

And then Sulcus came round in his nurses uniform and offered you a bed-bath and your worst fears were realised. The place really does exist!

There were rumours of a showdown ... two of the inmates were gunning for each other. One with bureaucracy as a weapon, the other a bell-ringer. A monumental shakedown with sound effects and ripping paper was most definitely on the cards. Arrogance and petulance were spinning in cyberspace, reverberating through twitcher and nosebook. Would this be a fairytale ending, or just another statistic ... ?

Being a gentle soul I only get the urge to kill horribly when people can't accept sound advice about their 'grammer'. Like the sound of the bed baths though. Lol Tempy x

But its funny you should mention bed baths - I was a nurse in military hospitals between 1972 - 1976 (also worked in an ENT hospital Sulcus) so am well qualified to perform said bed baths. Name your soap  ? PS. My uniform was nothing like Sulcas'  .
