@AudreyJune Oh, wow - if only I'd known the *real* test was that easy!

@nuklearfiziks NO-ONE expects the calzone inquisition!

@aleisha Admittedly, it's much more Man (or, in this case, Woman) from UNCLE than Bond. =:) It doesn't take itself terribly seriously.

It's really good fun. ^_^ Nicely designed puzzles, too - even I only resorted to walkthroughs a couple times. ^_^

@aleisha Same. ^_^ I'll basically try all the puzzles myself, and will quite happily call on a walkthrough at any time, just to keep enjoying the storyline, especially with the likes of Phoenix Wright, where the actual solutions can be a touch convoluted. =:)

If you haven't tried it yet, Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise is one I'd especially recommend, if a 60s spy-themed title might appeal, with very good voicework and appropriately stylised graphics.

@nuklearfiziks Sounds like the roomie when I arrived, minus the herb - the fridge held basically a couple condiments. Now he subconsciously tries to keep up with my fridge stock, to prevent me from taking it all over =:)

Hm. I wonder if 400 Rabbits do calzone.. I may have to call in there after a visit to Tuttii Fruttii sometime. Ah, nope, just the normal.. does look like a beautiful selection, though:

(Gah. Except Deptford-Crystal Palace is nigh impossible)

@iona Ah, might be Active Worlds I was thinking of. ^_^; Mm, SL may've ceased to be a media darling long ago, but it's /still there/, providing a creative outlet and home for a load of residents - no small feat!

One can only hope the likes of Facebook will join the forgotten..

Altavista's a great example, too - once the obvious choice for searching, thanks to its minimalist design and helpful search language (esp. ~ for "find within five words"), they went full portal, and GOOG rose.

@iona Not really, I'm afraid. ^_^; World's Chat might have evolved into another VW that lingered on for quite a while, though, as the URL looks sort of familiar - might've been the one Yahoo bought a few years back, and promptly did nothing at all with. =:/

@icefoxx So cute! =:D

One requirement: "The NHS confirms that it cannot provide the treatments or equivalent, in a medically acceptable timeframe, for the patient’s condition/diagnosis (referred to as Undue Delay)"

That may be their get-out, if they argue that from the point of referral for surgery to a surgery date is only months - catch is, for NHS GRS, you must be referred by a GIC, taking around two years to get to that point.

Time to research possible venues & surgeons. =:D

A little more reading doesn't dismiss the possibility this might actually be possible. GenderGP aren't aware of the option, and invite me to try.

There are two options:

"EU directive route", state or private, you pay up front, they reimburse you up to the NHS cost.

https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/healthcare-abroad/going-abroad-for-treatment/what-is-the-eu-directive-route/

"S2 route", state only, they pay the state directly, either all or 75% (depending on the country of treatment). The copay may be reclaimable.

@Cr0wnless That's what I was thinking, given the US tends to use ng/dl or pg/dl, whereas elsewhere, it's more usual for nmol/l or pmol/l. But the T works out to a good number (0.76 nmol/l), but 398 is a good number if it's already pmol/l; if that's in pg/dl, it comes to 14.6 pmol/l, which is very low. Hence my confuzzlement. Not that confusing me is *difficult*. =:)

I'm going by the converters here:

@June Gotcha. ^_^ Mm, it wouldn't be anywhere near as annoying to add new features, were they content to merely point out that they're now there, should you want them, even encouraging you to try them out on first launch.

(See also: LinkedIn's love of adding new marketing "preferences", defaulting to "sure, spam me silly")

@Cr0wnless What units are those?

@June Is a third-party client supporting IMAP an option? Google seems unusually enthusiastic about surprising people with new and awful features, like some ur-Sirius Cybernetic Corporation.

(I wonder if anyone /has/ the trademark on Genuine People Personalities yet..)

@expectproblems Ooh, thanks! I'll take a look - maybe they still have it, or something equally appealing. I'm needing to rebuild my wardrobe, and that'd definitely fit. ^_^

@expectproblems Oh, that's wonderful! Where did you find that?
