Eek! And yike! Even scarier news ...

Listening to Radio 4 does nothing to help your feelings of being at one with the universe (or even at half-past-one with the universe - thanks Keith!).

Gordon Brown is now saying that he's turning his attention to dentistry.  If previous government initiatives are anything to go by, getting dental treatment really will be like pulling teeth ... and this against a background of people extracting their own molars with pliers, and sticking back errant crowns with superglue ... or maybe it's an initiative to abolish obesity by ensuring that nobody's able to eat on account of not having any teeth ...

That was very scary news, maybe people will start using the drill from there tool box. I have to admit, I need to go to the dentist but there is not an nhs one around here. I think the goverment stands a better chnace of fixing teath than obesity. Just had a thought maybe if everyone walked everywhere and grew there own veg and did not eat sweet things. We might help climate change at the same time. The sweet things might not help climate change just there teath

Have a huge cavity in one of my back teeth, been like that for a few years now, thankfully not hurting. Can't afford private, no NHS round here. Where's the pliers...(and I don't eat sweet things or rubbish)

Welcome to New Labour's Britain.
