Crackhead Dentist: "So, all your teef out then, yeah? Sweeeet."
I recently discovered the joy of NHS dentistry in the UK. By that, I mean, I met Crackhead Doctor’s little brother, Crackhead Dentist. After three years of avoiding the dentist, I finally gathered the courage for a check up. The NHS website directed me to a convenient clinic by my work.
I went by, registered as an NHS patient, and booked an appointment. So far, so good. Until the visit. Since it had been three years since my last visit, I had to pay penance with 20 minutes extra scraping & drilling & the bad news of a rather large cavity.
The guy also took the piss by giving me a hygeine clean, which is a private treatment, but without informing me he was about to give me a private treatment, and then presenting me with the £50 bill. Erm, thanks buddy.

Do you suffer from an overabundance of joy?
It's time to put a stop to this "fun" craze that's gripping the nation
The Iwilldothatformoney team was pleased to hear about this new prescription drug from Pfizer, Despondex®. Recently approved for use in America by the FDA, it is the first drug designed to treat the symptoms of excessive perkiness.
We’ve always thought America was far too pleasant. Must be all that fresh air and wide open spaces and rampant consumerism. There’s just too much of a focus on wishing people a great day, good customer service, polite driving, and friendly greetings or farewells. At last, a solution. Perhaps this is the answer for how America can become more like Britain.

Operation 'Soylent Green' in action
Did Stephen Hawking change nationality? Maybe while we weren’t looking, perhaps? Maybe he lied about being born in London and educated at Oxford University. Is he, like the crew of the HMS Bulldog before him, secretly an American?
I ask because the Investor’s Business Daily, a US rag, recently highlighted the shocking ineptitude of the British National Health Service in an editorial, saying, “People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn’t have a chance in the UK where the National Health Service would say the quality of life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.” Which was news to the man who survived only because of medical treatment from – you guessed it – the NHS.
