Bristol Christmas Pizza and Pint - 14th Dec
Discussion
Sorry to hear that Alec. 
Hope she gets well soon.
When I got put back together they used titanium parts which are non-metallic. Accordingly the alarms at airports aren't set off. Highly embarrassing when first time at an airport after the accident, I said to my mates "watch this", as I walk towards the scanner, go through and nothing happens.
Quite glad it didn't now though.

Actually, Titanium is a metal. Its a bit brittle, so usually used as an alloy.
Airport "metal detectors" are usually magnetometers in fact and as such will only detect ferrous metals, which titanium isn't.

That kind of goes with the watch and Porsche. If it were me I'd have something in cast-iron and brass
Daz - living tissue over metal endo-skeleton. Which bits did you have repaired? My father had a plated arm and I'm quite disappointed I lacked the presence of mind to ask for the bits back before he was cremated.
Titamium plates over my ulna and radius in my right arm (they were both smashed). Due to an accident caused by a drink driver where I received a fractured pelvis, multiple breaks in my right arm, three broken ribs, a chipped tooth and a few battle scars.

Shirley, you meant "after"?
We'd discussed it a few years before he died and he (being an engineer) figured that it would be better to whip them out before cremation, so they didn't get damaged by the heat/hot ash etc. I fancied the plate as a paperweight. Thinking about it I wonder what happened to the bits because they weren't among the ashes...
) Taking Daz' suggestion on board, I've just rung Henry Africa's and Planet Pizza.
HA reckon the bar won't be too busy on the evening of the 14th, but obviously can't guarrantee it. PP, however, reckon booking would be a must, so if we want to go there we'd need a fairly confident show of hands asap.

Driving not allowed...........

Agree with Daz! However, if its 100% absolutely necessary, best bet at the moment would be Clifton Down shopping centre, especially as the exit barrier's been broken for the last couple of weeks so there's no need to pay...
