Just bought my tickets … Got them via Ticketweb so I can print them out myself …

Beware the UK postal system!

This is a minor point, but it’s ‘HMV’ Forum (like the record store)

damn! I’m going to be on holiday
And it’s right up the rd from my work!!!

Thanks!
Got the MP3 now, but is the interview no longer on the pitchfork website? 
I don’t see it

I’m not so convinced …
It’s a slippery slope from targetting smokers as you have suggested …
… to people who drink alcohol
…. to people who eat too many chips
….. to people who don’t exercise for 1/2 an hour 5 x weekly
…… to people who don’t eat 5 portions of fruit and veg daily etc …
Where would it end?

What about people who are more likely genetically to get certain diseases / conditions like breast cancer, high blood pressure etc. … Would the insurance companies target them as well?
I bet they would if they could …

Hooray … Happy New Year to you as well Tonas …

What a bummer …
I’m really glad to have seen him play several times …
Hooray … Hope you had a good one!

If I understand correctly, the English socialized dental system is atrocious. Dentists who participate in the socialized program refuse to treat people or are unwilling to provide adequate care because the system doesn’t pay well enough? Many dentists will not accept or treat patients unless they also carry private insurance which can be billed? Many dentists decide not to participate in the socialized system because there is no money in it. This in turn has lead to a void in available dentists creating a dentist to participant ratio that prevents many from even getting treatment under the social plan?The dental system here is pretty good. My dentist is brilliant and I have been her patient for years now.
However saying that I live in London and there are loads of dentists in my area to choose from. I have heard that outside London it’s a bigger problem finding an NHS dentist.
For some reason the pricing system has changed recently and there are three fixed price bands. The problem is that no matter how much work you have done, the dentist is only supposed to charge you that amount. Which I guess means that dentists lose out. I have heard some people say that with their dentist that was a problem, but it isn’t a problem with mine. But my feeling is that if most people don’t need a lot of treatment and they pay the basic flat fee, then their over-payment should cover for the few who do need more treatment… Maybe?
My hygienist, who works downstairs at my dentists’ used to be NHS and private, but about a year ago she went over to fully private prices and to be quite honest, her prices didn’t go up by that much.
So I guess what I’m trying to say is that we still pay money but at a subsidised rate and we can choose who we want to be our dentist. And most importantly the fact that it’s a subsidised system is a good thing because more people have access to dentistry than if it was fully private.

he was brilliant on jools holland too
