Anyone would think that you were doing it on purpose!

So... it seems we have a race! Who will be first to 1500 posts?
Will I have come up with the next rank title and image in time?

Watch this space. I think it would take only a few weeks for the three gentlemen concerned to get there at this rate.

And I'm sure that a certain young lady will be doing her best to catch you up as soon as she gets a PC in her new flat :-)

They will soon offer a pilot of C3R treatment in Glasgow. I understand the proposal is going to Ethics. There is some equipment to buy (the 'lamp' that delivers the UV is a bit specialized), but with ethics clearance likely to be given, and the possible savings from the delivery of this treatment, it may be that C3R will be on offer here by the end of the year.

All the best

AArghhh NO!!! that's my nightmare, can't bear to see that, that's why I'd never want procedures done under a local, the thought of that eye speculum just makes me feel weak.
What's with the competition to have the most posts, you sad men!
