Cost of Living and Playing Snooker and Billiards

By the way two of my cues and the stand was vandalized by the Mason Bass in my absence.

Now I use a laquered stick or Sesath as my cue

Last time I played billiards and snooker, it cost me Rs.5000/= for one hour game in a Kandy Hotel and another Rs.5000/= for spirits and short eats.

This is where we had our 50 years of graduation celebrations.

That was the last time I went overboard on alcohol and I did not come home.

The meal and alcohol did cost a little bit more and both soles of my new footwear could not stand the upbeat and I had to dispose it.

The footwear costs over £100= and today's rate Rs.6000/= or more.

This is all before Coranavirus and playing snooker indoors is not allowed by WHO now.

Mind you, coconut is Rs.100/ a piece and my game is actually converted to 3 gunny bags of coconuts.

We are importing coconuts for new year with GasPaluwas demolishing our TREES including Jack and breadfruit trees.

What a country we are living in?

Our Free dish out to Samurdhi recipients is equivalent to one game of billiards and definitely without liquors.

I stop drinking alcohol due to taxes and I do not call anybody or answer telephone due to newly imposed taxes.

Girigoris or Piss Off Software is tested by Telecoms and Dialog now.

One thing I know is that Chinese cannot play snooker but they are good at poker and our finance minister does not know how to play poker with Chinese.

A snooker cue or stick Indian made is over Rs.2000/= and a snooker table costs over 1 million while in Colombo guys and girls spend extra cash is cassinos at a time Coranavirus is peaking again after New Year holidays.

The new year games our little Simeon plays is nothing compared to guys playing golf in Colombo.

A singer of high society, mostly drunkards have millions in their banks and some of their sons are involved in street violence and are protected by their fame when a  officer in uniform working at unfriendly hours tries to arrest a guy who is a drug peddler or addict is convicted by public opinion (judged by his / her skin colour in America not by actions of self defense or of duty).

It is the bystanders including media men with doctored clips who decide the outcome and not the fair play in this country and in America.

What has has happened to fair play?

When lawyers of defense and prosecution only see one side of the story, how can a jury give a verdict in a critical and sensitive case?

Nobody thinks of prevention of crimes and drug peddling.

Alcohol is the on top of sale list and traffic accidents tops both lightening and Coranavirus deaths put together in Ceylon.

The system of education has failed to instruct law makers, lawyers, judges and lot more priests of law esteem.

High criminals are protected including bankers and the minions are sent to prison for inappropriately long sentences.

One must not see this as a failure of the system or democracy.

It is the failure of the judicial system and not democracy.

It is worse under autocracy!

On paper autocratic countries have low rate  of criminal activity but their high officials are the most corrupt in this world.

Both Russia and China should be under the radar.

Look at Myanmar and criminal activity of the military.

We have guys wanting a dictatorship and their sanity should be examined in public court like in America.

Doctors of America are no experts on An Gam Pora

This is my opinion and anyone is FREE to disagree as a global citizen under video surveillance.

I think, by enlarge America has failed it's citizens, especially after the pandemic.

This grandfather who did not succumb to, Coronavirus, economic, social hardships and prison incarceration, but died on the street subdued, epitomises the plight of poor people irrespective of the skin colour.

Why?

Bias on skin colour, black for dead and the white for the living and legally "trying"officer has made the jury run for conviction not on facts but on gut feelings.

UNFAIR!

Justice for one and injustice on the other side of the coin.

This case should not end here but should go on for another trial to revisit the persecution, prosecution, defense, police procedures, role of media and above all reform of the whole judicial system.

It was a dream for me to visit United States and this case made me to reconsider it otherwise.

Why visit a country which is disintegrating by the minute.

The verdict might give a temporary respite but revivival or reintegrating is an uphill task.

It is no different in UK an old lady of 80 was murdered in  an underground station and my wife went to the same loo few minutes before and we caught the last train home from this tube station.

Merylebourne Station, if my memory stands true.

There were no video surveillance then.

Two weeks later we said Goodbye to London and I never returned even for a holiday.

If we stayed there we would be Coranavirus statistics at the rate the deaths were reported in April last year.

Now the jury has given the verdict, I have fully expanded and edited this entry

American doctors who came as expert witnesses missed a cardinal point about neck and carotid sinus and the effects on its compression.

In spontaneous severe tachycardia doctors use, a brief compression on this point to arrest and slow the heart rate.

Two sides of the neck have different innervation and in situs invertus this is in reverse order.

It has barrow receptors which communicate with medulla and pons.

Symptoms due to barrow receptor compression come suddenly well before oxygen deprivation symptoms supervene.

In other words cardiac symptoms were antecedent to respiratory symptoms.

One can stay under water with or without oxygen for longer period.

Furthermore, after cardiac arrest medulla can continue gasping respiratory efforts for a considerable length of time.

Pressure on these baroreceptors were never discussed in the witness box.

I kept silent until the jury gave the verdict.

I think a retrial is mandatory and the defense should challenge these doctors for not probing fully on physiology (not on, after the fact pathology).

World over doctors training has come down drastically and often critical patients are looked after by the most junior doctors.

It is well known that involuntary mistakes by doctors are covered up by technicalities and poor police officers with minimal knowledge are punished inappropriately.
In addition doctors are spared by their defense contracts, power and money.

Everybody especially the pseudo experts should be drilled down in the witness box again for their biased opinions.

I think police officers should not use neck compression as a form of restraint (not only in America in all over the world).

It should be withdrawn from all police handbooks worldwide.

Even kids know the neck compression can be deadly.

My heart felt thanks to the young girl who captured the action live.

I do not like video monitoring in super markets.

Only benefit they have on me, in my old age is that I do not lose my temper in public places but only at home.

It should be the other way round.

Domestic violence and kitchen knife is the most lethal weapon statistically.

I think nobody should bear weapons except the police and security officers with high level of training and trust.

But our police officers and security guys use deadly force in Ceylon and get away as national heroes.

I am a pathologist but briefly worked as a forensic medical officer when young.

One salient point in pathology is that clinicians miss 20% of the clinical diagnoses irrespective of their seniority globally and and a pathologist cannot determine 40% at postmortum.

At best one can have 60% of certainty at the postmortum and never 100%.

The account below is about Axillary Nerve Innervation and subduing a subject in counter attack.

Karate guys also use these deadly points in combat.

In Ceylon, Sinhala "An Gam Pora or Nila" was a common knowledge as kids but my father who served under British during Second World War taught me an extension of that strategy with a weapon in one hand.

Our mahouts use a pointed objects to subdue elephants inhumanely or inanimately or in-elephantinely (my new words to Oxford dictionary).

I hate this animal cruelty strategy.

Our police officer using these techniques is common knowledge and our Police Officers far exceeds their limits.

Our local DJVD used illegal arms and they came to my house and threatened me and my family with over 80 of their cohorts in 1989 and that lead to over expansion of our Army inappropriately (providing jobs to party activists in some cases).

Nobody came to protect me and my family when in need.

I sent my family to safer domain and I had to commit myself for another three months with three others in my staff, to protect over 32 computers and electrical equipments including power generators.

This lead to confiscating all weapons in civilian hands and I do not SUPPORT the RNA gun lobby in America, at all.

Only serviceman should bear weapons and the use of subduing techniques are legal when confronted by a gang or a physically strong guy under drugs.

About the doctors in America and none of the experts described the harm to Axillary Plexuses and showed their ignorance in neuroanatomy and points of contact of nerves to apply pressure over shoulder (not neck) tip, clavicle in front and shoulder blade from behind.

These were points our teachers used to subdue us and induce fear but I have counteracted and used my lump of books on their back as a warning strategy and I was chased out of the class first and my fellow friends joined me one by one later.

They were trying to teach us  Bible  and we resisted with might and strategy.

It worked for our class of friends.

Now we have MPs and Monks in saffron cloth in this country who want a dictator to reign.

Democracy is at peril, in this country with a huge army, police force and idiotic MPs bearing guns.

They never handed over the guns given to them in trouble times but the local goons who transport ICE have guns in their possession.

They have more democratic rights than the average voter or civilian.

That is how democracy works in Ceylon with inappropriately designed legislature to protect Chinese goons in harbours.
