This is good,..... there's nothing worse than the endless waiting, getting to appointments, tests, only to come away with nothing new.

In the future there'll probably be a box you sit in for 10 minutes and it does a full print out of what's wrong, then a little door will open and you'll be given 1 tablet to take and it'll just cure whatever it was instantly

If the box is like MRI I don't want it thanks.




One of the very odd things with my conditions I find I'm not always sure what is 'me' and what's impact. I only recall profound claustrophobia once before, as a youngster in Egypt. Its difficult to know if my developed fear of the MRI enclosure year before last was something like that, 'just' a panic attack or just who I am. Similarly the iatrophobia, Is it me or is it a way I have developed to cope with things with an impbalanced chemical response, rather than by having general unease, maybe I have just channeled it?

Because how my hormones 'work' because of the stuff going on in head is impacted I find myself asking my self if I am really, for example, stressed by the situation, or feeling a stress response. . I'll never know, but they are interesting questions, to me, any way.

Sounds unlikely TBH. I could see that there's a village in Northumberland or something that is still part of Scotland in some notional way that could vote but I don't think Wiltshire has ever been part of Scotland.

If the twinning contract made a village in Wiltshire part of Scotland, whoever drew up the papers needs firing!

I googled but didn't find anything.

Ditto. Where did you hear it?

I wonder if it was an April Fool gag that has been taken seriously and passed along.

When I first went to this Alpha Forum the font was in some sort of Times New Romany, now it looks like an Arialy style.

Much easier to read, not complaining or anyfink

Berwick on Tweed, perhaps? That's swopped between England and Scotland an awful lot, over the past 1,000 years or so. I think that's where Edward I had a number of rebellious Scottish nobles (men and women) imprisoned in open-air cages, pour encourages les autres.

After court this morning, managed to visit the GP to get antibiotics for my various bug colonies, shortly now to be evicted. Yay! By Monday, I might not look like a domestic violence victim any more.
