Open Wide....

Went to the dentist today. I had to fill in a new form. Apparently my dental practice has spent up all the money that the Health Service gave them last year, and is now running on empty until April. This means that yours truly has now had his teeth privatised. I had to sign up to say that I would pay for my treatment.

There were three prices on the piece of paper, fifteen quid, forty three quid and one hundred and ninety quid. "Don't worry about those" said the nurse airily. "We'll decide which one to use later". 

There is only one thing that scares me more than someone poking around in my mouth with bent metal and drills, and that is having to pay around half the price of a PS/3 for the privilege.

Anyhoo, apparently my teeth are OK at the moment so it was the lowest price for me today. My teeth are a pretty horrible colour but apparently quite hard wearing. And I'm going to brush them very carefully from now on...

Thats lucky...few days ago I had to go to one in the city centre and they had to perform minor surgery...still got the stitches in now and they cannot be removed until next week. Means no solids.

Still, good thing at least from it was I got charged the bottom end price as well for the luxury of been an emergency.

Rob, just a quick heads up in case you didn't know - In their continuing 'Customers are what I feed my dogs on' campaign, Sony are further hamstringing PS3s by limiting the PS2 compatibility. Apparently they won't be releasing the list of comaptible games until launch day and have stated that "backwards compatibility is not going to be as good as in the US and Japanese models."

Come back to the light Rob! ;)
