   Hurrah for the NHS!

   They sent me the full MRI of my head (on a CD in a weird file format, but let's not be too grumpy).

     I've just requested the MRI records of my full entire head and brains.

     🆕 blog! “The tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth”

     You know that ice-breaker game "Two Truths And A Lie"? When I'm forced into some mandatory office fun, I always say... I've sat in the seat of a space shuttle. I still have two of my baby teeth. I used to be a voice-over artist. Well, one of those truths is about to come crashing […]
