Does anyone know how long he had lived in Thailand? So did he really know what he was doing? I am a Royalist, but in the UK nowadays I fear I'm in the minority. So, he wasn't from the UK, but he was obviously screwed up about something. Just send him back from whence he came and stamp PNG in his pas...

I have an appointment with Dental 2000 tomorrow afternoon for a fairly major filling replacement. I am also scared rigid of dentists, so this, for me, will be something of a war against terror! I did have my teeth cleaned by them when they were in their old place (closer to the town centre), and sur...
