A miscellany

Things 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.

*shocked* Apart from being tall thin blondes, surely they've very little in common? Only one of them can act!

I suspect it's just a bloke thing. Don't worry about it. ;-)

*Ouch* :(

Try asking "If I pay more, can I have extra anaesthetic?". I think it shames them into using enough.... I'm sick of having fillings done when I still have some feeling left.

But the good doctor is right in that they look nothing like each other!

I'll try that!
