The best thing for insomnia is abstaining from Internet message boards.

To be honest, I rarely look at t'web after 9ish.

I was looking at the NME.Com for the top 50 debut albums, and the top 10 are filled with a load of old ***** from the last 10 years. Never changes does it? I see it's now given away free - found its true value at last.

I don't think my wife would appreciate that! Actually goes against everything I've read on insomnia - a bedroom should just be for sleep and *cough* the other thing....

Fortunately I think my body gave up, went to bed at 9 and woke up at 6:30, so feeling better today :smile:

If you only do the other thing in the bedroom then there is your problem,spread the love around the house and garden and other such dogging sites.

Dentists - I need root canal treatment and then a crown on a back lower tooth. £222 on the NHS. Absolute robbery!!

Give Guy's hospital a bell and speak to the dental department. You might be able to get the lot done for nothing if you are prepared to have the work done by a student under instruction. Shrimpers are Magic done this only in the USA but a mate had some major work done at Guy's and it didn't cost him a penny.

I too can vouch for this, but it may take a while.

Cheers men, I will investigate.

I need two teeth implants - my NHS dentist sent me to a private dentist and she said she thought it should be done on the NHS and she refered me to Guys. If rejected it would have cost £5k at the private clinic but Guys did it for free. When at Guys though they had to apply to my local NHS trust for funding. That was 4 years ago and I know that they are a lot more restricted in what they will fund now. 2 of my kids both need the same work and the NHS guidelines are now that they will continue to treat them with cheaper options that cost more in the long run rather than give them implants.
So you might find £200+ on NHS price list is better than hanging around for a 'free at the point of need' service that may drag on and could never happen.

Don't Guy's do the free work anymore because of funding? I would have thought real teeth would be the perfect training.

Cheers ***. It's not that I can't afford the NHS cost, it just seems an outrageous amount of money because it is the NHS. there must be loads of people who don't have that sort of money laying around and don't qualify for free dentistry.

It is, it's crazy. You hear stories of that level of cost being racked up for what often seems like fairly standard work. I didn't go to a dentist for 16 years because when your teeth manage to eat and don't cause you any pain why pay £20 for someone to confirm that you're ok

They do but it comes from your local trust's budget and they may not be keen (from my experience, there may be other routes in)

Never knew that. But then again I suppose nothing is free.

What the heck is the matter with you lot? If your teeth hurt get the bloody things sorted, stop analysing and looking for options....who wants a bloomin' student let loose at some of your most sensitive nerves?!!! Just get it done!

My brother had some root canal work done while in Houston, by students, under supervision, for nothing. They also polished his teeth and gave him that Hollywood smile. I seem to remember the savings run into the thousands. A mate done the same at Guy's. If you can get in then it's well worth it, although after what A.S.S. just told us, it might not quite so easy anymore.

Crickey OBL, this is man stuff we're discussing here. If we're in dental pain the most obvious course of action is to discuss options to save money with Shrimper chums, it takes our minds off the pain and it's what we do, OK?
