    No, it's ok, just hacked off with neighbours and considering just moving and renting somewhere detached!

    And renting your place to a budding thrash metal band?
    Z, you could do your tour of Scotland and give me an excuse to come meet Beanie and Maz.

    Before that they were Meningitis Direct, so still not all that useful...

    Or appendicitis. They sent me to the local out-of-hours doc who carted me off to hospital when I last phoned, very efficient - they had my notes all ready because I could barely speak with pain.

    However, I phoned them a few years ago late at night and the woman was very rude to me, I think she thought I was drunk.

    Organ music is great. Cuts through walls no problem whatsoever so it's always the same volume no matter where in the building you are.

    I know I do like it. Been there before you know... ;)

    I phoned them up and got passed around 4 different people. The someone phoned me back. The conversation with each always started "Do you have a headache? Do you have an adversion to light? Do you have a rash which doesn't fade under the pressure of a tumbler?..." etc...
