    He's been charged with professional misconduct because of the way he did his research (paying people for blood tests and stuff) and caused so much public worry on dodgy scientific grounds. It's the MMR causes autism stuff.

    Naughty man. Ok, even though I am scared of the dentist, I NEED to book an appointment to have a tooth out, I've had toothache for two days. If I phone the emergency one when they open tomorrow, do you reckon they'll give me an appointment for Monday morning. I'll survive til then...just NEED this tooth out ASAP

    I don't know Elfen, if you PM Linda (Bank_of_Slate) she'll be able to tell you how to get it seen fastest.

    Did you open the oven door while it was cooking? That makes things sink. If it's still wet in the middle then you probably didn't cook it for long enough. You need to stick a skewer or something in the middle to test it if you think it's done, if it comes out sticky then it needs longer.

    Wow, I didn't even know I knew that till I started typing!

    Hey well done Rictus!

    In that case I haven't a clue Claire, my baking skills are pretty basic! I think most cakes sink a bit when they first come out though.
