Also, which is something I hadn't fully grasped until the last few months, you are under no obligation to find/use an NHS Dentists 'near' to you. You can register anywhere in the country for an NHS practice.

Can't wait for the American wing of Bluesky to wake up in about 3 hours, and rehash all the same Nobel discourse we've been doing for the past hour or so.

They're like an international version of 'The Poke'

Just a heads up that it's probably not *me* you've mentioned, but the other one, who doesn't have an account on here.
