NHS dental care is free for under 18s  (and low incomes, old people, etc) and glasses are subsidised for under 18s, low incomes, etc but if you buy posh frames or reactions lenses etc you have to pay something on top. Dental care is subsidised for NHS dentists for over 18s, but it can be very diffuclt to find an NHS dentist who will accept new patients so many peiople use private dentists and/or dental insurance.

Maternity services in the UK are almost all on the NHS: its nearly impossible to go private for that kind of thing unless you live in London and are very rich: most private hospitals dont have brith facilities.

There is private medical insurance schemes in the UK, most paid for as part of someone's job. Hoeever, most private doctors are actually moonlighting NHS doctors (except in London again) so the level of care is about the same and the only difference is that you get to jump the waiting list queue.

All EU countries have reciprocal agreements that let other EU citizens have a certain level of free medical treatment but you may need to do a lot of paperwork and its worth having travel insurance for things like repatriation costs, etc. bven if travelling within the EU.

I'm really impressed that they have 1 Gbit wifi. I never knew such technology existed! Is it compatible with your PC?  ;)

FF3.5 has a smaller footprint than chrome, nearly as fast javascript and the "private"mode, too. The only advantage chrome has now is the spearate processes.

You might want to contact sites like AdevntrueGamers, Adventure Classic Gaming and JustAdventure and offer them a review copy...

If it wasn't keeping cookies, you wouldn't be able to log in at all. Are you sure you haven't set "Remove private data on close" option or something?

Mondegreens - misheard song lyrics. (for example, "she's got a chicken to ride")
Awesome example: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E16B78DAB5EAC98E

And Ghost's phrase works better if you swap the parts round:

He accepted her showing them off as not breaking the pact, since this was her work (after all).

Or add a therefore:

This was her work, therefore he accepted her showing them off as not breaking the pact.

I've often thought, though, that any D3D problems should make the engine automatically fallback into DX5: would that be a possibility?

I too wish that I could be very much felt by Chris Jones...

I would consider Holland if [...] I get my passport sorted [...]

I think you won't need a passport to travel within the UE, just a simple ID. Or am I wrong?

You need passport for EU in general. For countries within Schengen it's enough with national ID.
For some neighbouring countries, like the Scandinavian countries, ID card is also sufficient, but I don't know where else that's the case.

Indeed, indeed! And the UK is one of the few countries which decided it wasn't cool to join in. What a pity, Stee :(

Just to passport nitpick: You can use EU ID cards thoughout the EU instead of a passport (including in the UK: my mother-in-law has done this). Its just that the UK has no national  ID card scheme... yet. Therefore UK people need a passport. Oh, and I'll be in China next year so no Mittens for me again. :(

I had this problem on my websites before. Infected everything. The only way to get rid of it on all of the pages is by going into SSH and running a remove string from all files.

I was sore for a week!

Darn, looks like I'll have moved to China by then... :'(

Isn't a Cro-Magnon brow a normal one?

The thing is, most people think that "pandemic" means deadly, when it actually just means "everywhere".

Module problems are usually best in the module thread, I think, then anyone else with the same problem can find it easily. But anyway:

1. I think is probably easier done separately.

2. Can you upload an example game, or ideally your who game dir (you can send it to me in PM if you prefer)
