Interesting bedside manner. I take it you went private rather than public?
Oh, and btw, these days we call it a "four" or "4".

Why do we want this instead of a Kindle?
HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

FINALLY played some BBCSEx against an actual human opponent in person tonight. Seems like we have a scene going in Barnsley now for it.

Well, it's easy to find an opponent at a game like Modern Bullets. Less so at a more niche one.
Although I could do without the blown out voice today - got singing on Rock Band and of course it was a bit of All That Remains.

So happy the House of Lords voted against the new Tax Credit Legislation.
Apparently it's a unprecedented move that has stunned the Cabinet, and left them reeling.
Something to do with the fact that the Upper house isn't constitutionally able to reject or "block" financial proposals already voted through by MP's.
The fact that this bill was included in a non-financial package, and then blocked, which has left the government scrambling to reduce the Constitutional powers of the House Of Lords in the future, is making me happy.

Woot. Biopsies all negative. Come back in a year for a re-scope.

The first surgeon sent me to a better quipped surgeon. The followup today was with the first one but he had copies of the second one's results. They symptom was that the outlet from stomach to the duodenumb was 'about the diameter of a pencil". This constriction being a classic sign of GERD (which can be treated pharmacetically) or of a side effect of Bariatric Surgeory, both of which could apply here. He didn't have a small enough scope so sent me two days later to the next step up hierarchically in the "bigness of hospital" rank. They knocked me out and used a baloon to dilate the restriction. Apparently it worked as the nasuea has receded remarkably in the following weel. The only potential down side with the current resolution is the second set of biopsies include one with the recommendation to be re-sampled and re-analyzed. Which they do during the next dilation in 4 weeks.
