They are brilliant. I'd quite like a permanent supply. I assume they're cocaine-based?Quote:

That sounds very unpleasant. I wish you a full and speedy recovery etc.Quote:

Well I went there first at about 2-ish and they sent me home to come back for an appointment at 6.30. So it wasn't too bad, but if I'd had to stay there, it would have been pretty shît.Quote:

Interestingly, what I did discover is that your average quack won't go near eyes. Don't understand 'em, see? I was referred from the GP to the high street ophthalmologist and thence to the specialist eye hospital.Quote:
