    I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant pluckers son. I'm only plucking pheasants till the pheasant plucker comes.

    Thumbs down Dwelling on the macabre.

    All but one, are not echoing words of encouragement for them.
    You tell me how you, or your family or friends, would feel, if someone in your close circle, would be similarly trapped.
    I am not enamored with the Ghouls that take delight in their predicament.

    Jeeez...get a life will ya? For f*cks sake!

    A quip or two means nothing. I thought I had enough sarcasm in the thread opener to reveal the truth. All here would sympathise, but a joke or two is OK...isn't it?

    NO.
    Far from it. Claustrophobia can happen in many environments, and only idiots that have not been in similar situations, should not dare to make derogatory or ill informed jokes about that.

    My agoraphobia cured my claustrophobia.
    I could think of better things to do for the next 4 months.
