wellinghallThings you don't want to hear from your dentist:
"After the fillings, I'll start your root canal work."
[pause]
"Without anaesthetic."
[pause]
"Tell me if it starts to hurt."
Am I the only one who has difficulty telling the difference between Cate Blanchett and Gwynneth Paltrow?
Overheard in hospital: two very conventional elderly ladies, talking about how it was unfair that same sex couples got tax breaks, but sisters living together didn't; and going on to discuss how lesbianism started after WWI, when lots of men were killed in the trenches.
Grantham hospital has wards 1 & 2; 5 & 6; and Kingfisher.
