I'm thinking of going into the rope business. Well, I think it could be a nice peaceful hobby for me in my retirement, sitting outside in the sunshine on my new patio, gently weaving the strands in and out as I pleat together long lengths of good, strong rope. And I think it will be a 'nice little earner', know what I mean? After all, just today two adults have been arrested following the discovery of a couple of dead children and yesterday a man was sentenced to 21 years for murder having been released from jail after only 14 years for the kidnap and rape of two young girls, and then last week a 16-year-old shot his sister in the head with a gun he owned and before that a toddler was killed in a drive-by shooting ... and so, week in, week out, the bodies of the innocent pile up ever higher and higher and I reckon when the stench is so strong that not even the purblind Dr. 'Teabag' can ignore it no longer, they'll bring back hanging and I'll make, er, a killing!

Ropes? Going into seafaring David? People always need ropes I suppose, just not for hangmans nooses. Nah, you want to go into the manufacture of whatever it is they use in lethal injections.
Unless of course the rope thing is more of a symbolic thing..........

Happens to us all, 'Ill Man'.

Duff are you one of those men who like to have the occasional swing on a rope yourself? "Auto-erotic asphyxiation" I think it's called. It's just that I don't believe that you care a fiddle for any of the victims of these crimes you're always Daily Mailing about - other than as unsubtle camouflage to write about your rope-based fantasies. If you've never tried it, I'd encourage you to give it a go - just take care not to kick the chair over, eh David.
