I was half expecting you to say that your wife already had her tonsils out when she was younger.

I think I belong to one of the most disjointed Doctors surgery's in Britain! On Tuesday I spoke with a Doctor on the phone, she said I did need to see her and to leave it with her to make the appointment. On Wednesday morning I get a...

Talking of mining....I knew 2 lads from Yorkshire who used to watch Everton...1 was from Thorne and 1 was from Doncaster...[we were only teenagers] Both their dads were lifelong miners... I was invited to attend the big protest at...

Sounds interesting. I've been on guided tours of a few large caves when younger but not an actual mine. Remember while deep in one part of a cave the tour guide saying they were going to turn the lights off for a moment for us to...

I found it less stressful than going to the dentist, the only issue I found was the eye drop routine afterwards that last for about 6 weeks, I had 3 different drops some 4 times a day, one was 3 times a day dropping to twice a day after...

Just bite the bullet and have it done! Seriously, there's nothing to it, aside from the eyedrops routine post-op, and that's not forever. I had both eyes done about a year ago, and got new glasses with the first pair of thin lenses...
