Just catching up after 20-30 pages (only away for 2-3 days!) so apologies for any faulty memory, getting names wrong and missing anyone out ...

Good luck tomorrow Miroslav.
Glad to hear the tonsil outcome was positive, Gen.
Happy belated birthday Nikkster.
Hope you get something better sorted out with your son's exams, Sue.
Sorry to hear your news, hjd.
Hurrah for house progress LJ.
Sorry to hear about your relationship, Masomnia.
I like Daniel the best, I think, NDG.
Good luck with the hospital trip LIR.
Hope the trip out / shopping was fruitful, doozer.
Here's to the 28th coming round really quickly, Spirit.
Sorry life's really not easy at the moment, michaels.
Hope the house exchange gets sorted out as you want it to, chewy.
Thanks for the course link, viva - will look into that one.

Dodgy hug to everyone who would like one!

Pages and pages back, someone (michaels?) asked about the 3-2-1 PAYG tariff from 3. I have it on a trial basis on my new smartphone. Happy to answer any questions.

Phew ...

I can't type 150 words in 3 minutes plus 30 seconds for postcard on an iPad. It's seriously impossible!

I don't know why you have set yourself that challange, but a cheat would be to type it all into "notes" and then copy and paste.

Happened to switch over to BBC3 and now watching a bit of the Eurovision live semi-final; only caught the recaps. Was the Irish lady singing in tune? Did the interval-filling Aussie group just say the word "genitalia"? Is this really very weird??!

Names list for Aelthebald - I can see the poor little sod actually ending up being called Aelthelbald at this rate!

Our previous shortlist - Daniel, David, Benjamin and Jonathan - all ruled out for good by OH apart from Daniel which is a cautious "maybe" (don't imagine enthusiasm, here).

OH had a burst of ideas this evening, though - Seth, Aaron, and Elijah.

What do NP think? Honest opinions welcome even if they are, "are you insane?!"

You may find when he puts in an appearance that he doesn't suit the name you have chosen anyway...
My favourites were on your discarded shortlist.. I have a brother with one of those names and a nephew with another.
Aaron is often mis-pronounced Arron, which I personally hate.
I think I would prefer Seth to Elijah.
Not much help really!

My top 10 tonight are (in order on stage): Malta, Israel, Norway, Georgia, Poland, Austria, Lithuania, Belarus, Greece, Romania.

My Top 9 quite different Malta, Norway, Poland, Austria, Finland, Ireland, Greece, Slovenia, Romania. Having problems with no 10 either Switzerland or Israel. Can't decide.

First semi was better. Conchita for Austria was amazingly brilliant tonight! Go Conchita! Poland will go through on erotic washerwoman look. The gays in the audience were clearly cheering Conchita, the straight guys team Poland.

I'm not sure with Glastonbury, but it is possible.

I guessed you must have been a Somerset gal at some stage. How long ago did you leave?

I can ask where I want to be referred? Usually they will try and get me to local, but not always possible.

I have my test tomorrow to confirm whether it's graves or whether it's something else, but GP reckons the probability is high. Either way, it's Hyperthyroidism and i'll have to embrace it. If it turns out it's not graves, it will be something else.

I'll be as prepped as I can be. Prep always helps.

I'll be fine. If it comes to the worst then I just have to hope people will be around me.

I've also an eye test tomorrow. I was recommended by both GP's to
book an eye test. I guess they will know what graves is.

YES, you can choose, and should. Parent was referred NHs I think, I was referred NHs ( incorrectly) to uclh last year ( I requested a private referral) because I had opted to see a particular doctor who was a specialist in one of my major issues.



Ah, also...you can be referred to circle bath on NHs....


Will delete next bit:

I like circle bath and opt for that often ( private) and have recommended to others who have had good experience on nhs, but my endocrinologist is not there ( and is private only ) otherwise I'd recommend.


For minor things I think shepton mallet is AMAZING. Best NHs treatment I've had. Everyone in my family has been there now, ops or imaging, and its really good.


Left four years ago, but didn't get far. only went there as an adult.

As per the rhyme..... all except Aaron - and he shall have a square 'un

I know a child who will be trouble called Aaron, and he is pronounced Aron. Shrug., Doesn't bother me much. I have a name that's ALWAYs a mix up. I answer to anything, and don't mind how people pronounce it.
