That is peanuts to us... Katya and the others girls have a very high turnover. That's why they're always tired in the mornings.

Please note the surgery is closed from now until Monday morning due to Dr Dingo working double shift at the "day job" this Saturday and Sunday with no access to the Net
If anybody wishes to ask questions for a consultation next week they are more than welcome.

What would you do with it if you had one?
Do you have any other weapons on you?

Dear Dr. Dingo,
What is the key to living a happy, fulfilled life? (Well, okay, I guess the answer to that would probably be, "Listening to prog, of course!"--but what else can I do in order to become happy and fulfilled?)
And what does Igor the accountant look like?
Sincerely,

Dear GloomyCurry
The secret to fulfillment is to study hard, work hard, give all your taxes to the government, vote Tory/Republican/any right wing party of your choice, go to Church regularly, produce 2.4 children together with the right partner in the eyes of your parents, join the Freemasons, respect your betters, admire Vompatti's artwork, and always pay your utility bills on time.
Or of course you could, indeed should, enjoy yourself instead.
ps I personally add in lots of different musical genres - I find prog is best enjoyed with a side salad of indie, prog metal, classic punk/new wave, even a bit of hard rock sometimes (tho not that often these days - there's so much other great stuff around). |
I just visited Vompatti's art thread for the first time, and I really enjoyed myself. Vompatti is an excellent artist. Thank you for your helpful advice, Dr. Dingo.

Will the Canaries be promoted this year? And, most importantly, will Ipswich get relegated?

Good answer. You don't happen to read Ask Dr. Science? He said "Speak for yourself. I don't know how many times I've been in a restaurant and looked down at something, only to have one of my eyes fall into my coffee and the other roll under a table. Luckily, I can find them because I can see where they are. In fact, the primary reason for wearing contact lenses is to have them fall out instead of your eyes. Yes, having eyes in the head so high above the ground is dangerous. Yet animals with eyes in their feet or knees have somehow failed to survive. One advantage of having eyes in the head is that you can roll your eyes up high enough and check your brain for bandwidth, which we all know is essential to memory and proper downloading. Of course, it's rather dark in there so I recommend installing neon lighting. "

Notwithstanding the feigned enmity between the East Anglian clubs (you know you want to be in the same division as them because of the derby matches ) I don't actually hope that Ipswich go down purely because they have everyone's least favourite Irishman as their manager (Roy Keane) but would prefer him to be sacked and no-one would shed a single tear because of it. He was a good but very one dimensional and overrated midfield player IMO who let his country down by walking away from the Republic of Ireland during the South Korea/Japan World Cup. Furthermore, he has recently chastised his countrymen for their lack of mental strength as one of the reasons for not qualifying for this year's finals. Given his own appalling disciplinary record both on and off the field, the hypocrisy of this statement is staggering. Rant over.

I'm a journalist - what do you expect?
Do you think I have a 10-repeat BB gun a .22 Webley pistol and a tame aardvaark called Doris?

I dunno if this is directed at me or Mr Blowin' but if it's me I do have the two pistols mentioned above - I just like to mess around shooting coke cans and things. It's quite safe as the nearest neighbour is about 1,000 metres away and completely legal (I don't have a gun - or any other weapon - in England, where there's probably more need for one, defensively speaking). I wouldn't call it a range, but I always have a very large piece of hardboard behind the cans in case I accidentally down a low-flying buzzard or something. Please no-one flame me for this, I'm neither violent or a frustrated paramilitary - it's against the hippocratic oath

Yes Luca I really think they will. We won't, I think, catch Leeds, but Charlton aren't a great side and we should overhaul them. Holt, Hoolahan and Chrissy Martin could all play at a much higher level and if we keep all three I am certain we will do it, even if it has to be thru the playoffs. The teams I mentioned aside, only Huddersfield seem capable of going up but we've yet to play them.
I'm afraid I can't see the scum going down. They're actually unbeaten in eight now, despite only one win all season. Trouble is, as our Scots/AussieLemming friend so rightly says in his post, Keane polarises people and appears to manage thru fear. I think that will just be enough to keep them out of trouble.
But I did put £10 on at 12-1 at the start of the season for us to go up and them to go down

I have had a look at Dr Science a few times in the past, but that retort was instinctive

That can't be a rant - it makes perfect sense. We have so many anti-Ipswich songs but the one about Keane is too er, err, erm, earthy to repeat here*. Let's just say I think most of us would dislike the guy whoever he managed and for the reasons you give so eruditely above).
*Lets just say that it goes to the tune of the Addams Family theme and alleges all sorts of activities involving incest and/or sheep. Mind you, they sing some very similar things about us
