What's the most horrific thing you've seen?What is going on?
Lightguy was walking home when he saw a fox eating a cat. As he watched, it threw up on the cat and then continued eating, having doused it in its own marinade.
Only this morning, Rachelswipe saw a tramp hock up a bright green loogy, only for a pigeon to hop over on its withered stumps and peck it up joyfully.
Are these the end times? What horrible stuff have you seen recently?

Where do I start?I've been a doctor in the NHS for eight years. I could fill this board with stories that would make most of you turn white. I could tell you stories about maggots, worms, an ano-rectal turnip and a 20-stone patient spraying diarrhoea over me.
However, the most horrific thing I ever saw came one night where a couple of ambulance technicians brought a 'patient' in. In those days, ambulance technicians couldn't declare someone dead at a scene, so needed a doctor to do so. Sometimes, it was quicker to bring the body to the A+E department.
As I approached the ambulance, one of the technicians stood outside, smoking a cigarette. 'Is he dead, yet, doc?' he laughed.
Looking at the body, I murmured 'I think so. Where is the rest of his head?'
The answer was: In the same place as his left arm, his left lung, most of his descending colon and his moped - under a 22 wheel lorry.
And, yes, he was dead...
