    I was a lumberjack for fifteen years in Pennsylvania. The very real danger is, when you cut down a tree a branch will fall out of it or it will knock a branch out of another tree as it goes over, and that branch will fly back at where you are standing.

    14:30 min mark...This happened to me and my mum ! I lost my brother [Scott] in 2008 and like Stephen I too can not bring myself to delete his contact details. Whilst waiting at the hospital once with my mum I stumbled across late brother's details so I cheekily said to mum "Let's ring Scotty !" and so we did.
    ( Bear in mind this took place about 6-7 years after brother's passing ).
    Ring, ring...ring, ring..."hello" ! OH ! wasn't expecting it to be answered so was already thrown. "Ummm, is Scott there please ?" I asked in all silliness with my mum laughing beside me. Well fuck me what happened next had all 3 of us, mum, me & the mystery caller, wetting our pants with laughter !!
    After asking for Scott, the response I got from the other end was ; "Speaking"...!! 👀 !!! 😂
    Short story long, just a helluva coincidence in the end. We ALL had a good chuckle after we explained what we were doing and my 'new' brother Scott even invited us to stay if we were ever in town ❤

    Oddly enough, when they were talking of deleting (or not being able to delete a person on their contact list), I actually forgot that they reuse those phone numbers. My Mum passed away and I couldn't delete her contact number. One day when I was really sad and missing her, I sent that number a text to that effect. I got a reply from a very kind person letting me know that I have the wrong number. So, I explained and they were so kind and told me that anytime I feel sad and miss Mum, I can send them a text and they'll be happy to talk to me. 😊

    The reason the UK has two taps (not everywhere but in most older buildings) is because hot water was traditionally stored in a tank in the attic where it was at risk of gathering dirt (from insects, rats, mice, etc.) and was therefore suitable for washing but not for drinking and therefore couldn’t be mixed with the cold water. You’re not supposed to use the taps whilst running if you want pleasant warm water, you’re supposed to pour a bowl of it.

      That's not the reason. Mixer taps also have two taps one nfor hot one for drinking water at least in the kitchen. But the middle tap part is shared so that you can have either hot or cold or both together to make warm or like warm or quite hot but not scalding hot. And most people have mixer taps these days right? Even irish people got those in the 1980s.

    1:29:30 There are cases in which defendants have attempted to get out of criminal charges by claiming that their actions were the result of epileptic seizures. In People v. Grant, 360 N.E.2d 809 (Ill. App. 1977), the court held that the act of striiking a police officer was involuntary, but the defendant could be held responsible if it was found on remand that his drinking prior to the incident was reckless and caused the seizure.

    On the subject of phone calls from the dead around 14:58. I made a terrible mistake in my depressed state after my late wife passed, I was very very very low and could not face the outside world, I had lost the love of my life, my soulmate, and had turned to drink. I just withdrew and my pay and go phone had run out of credit. I was not very tech savvy back then, and desperately needed to speak to my son, and without thinking used her phone!! The poor man nearly had a heart attack as his phone rung showing Mum calling! I was so so sorry I could not apologise enough and fell into an even deeper depression. Life really is a bitch sometimes, then you do stupid things and make it worse.

    54:24. For gums - they do grow back altho it is a slow process, if you have receding gum lines it’s recommended to brush your teeth with softer bristle toothbrushes or to brush less frequently or with less force.
    and as for trimming - they cauterize the gum line frequently in dental practices :: either to maintain a perfect smile line and gum line - or in cases where individuals have their frenum/frenulum (the skin of the top lip which goes infront of the two main front teeth - which is sometime a cause for gap teeth, if someone gets braces for a gap in their teeth this skin may be cut via a laser to then allow the teeth to be squished together)
    This was done to my mouth when I was 11 because of a gap in my front teeth which braces corrected but which has separated since even after I properly used a retainer
    Gums may also be trimmed if they are overgrown ontop of teeth or if in cases of a broken tooth the gums begin to grow inside the cavity space which is a neat and weird thing for the body to do. (Because yes gums grow into spaces it’s also why you can loose a baby tooth early and have the gums close up and then experience another teething cycle where the adult tooth waits to push back to the surface often causing pain as it has to break the gums to emerge)
