    Sadly it won't lead to anything. Blair will just slither off into the sunset with his millions.

    I'm not so sure. I think the door has been left open for some legal consequences. But Blair will still have millions, I don't doubt that.

    Glad Robin Cook's opposition to the war has been recognised by both Chilcot and Cameron/Corbyn. Such a shame that both he and Charles Kennedy are not around to see this.

    The opposition to the Iraq war was the high point of the Lib Dems' political input since they were formed. Robin Cook was also a hero in those days, as was Corbyn.

    Forgot to mention. The other night I found a way to watch Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice [2016] and quite enjoy it.

    1] Appreciate that it was directed by Zac Snyder, so it's going to be big on visuals and have a wandering story that veers off at a visual tangent anytime it bloody well chooses.
    2] Read all the negative theatrical reviews.
    3] Watch the Ultimate Edition version, which at 3+ hours long might seem like insanity, but was actually OK. Hey, I sat through Watchmen, and that was a film that never actually got going, despite its length. This one actually does, though it does take a Snyderish time about it. It doesn't quite reach Watchmen's visual beauty though, in my opinion. There. With Snyder you get either/or. Not both. You may also feel you get neither with this film.

    And minor spoiler alert:
    Batman does indeed fight Superman. But, hmm, how is he going to have any chance at all.? Does he tie him up in a Batrope.? No. Does he crash the Batmobile into him.? Well, he tries, I'll give him that.? Does Robin turn up to smooch with Superman while Batman thinks of a way to kill him.? No. He uses the thing which you and I know he has to use. Does Superman die.? Err.. that depends on how long you stay with the film.

    Dare I recommend this film.? Would you watch it if I did and make me responsible if you didn't enjoy it.? Would I give a ****. Yeah, I would. So, on that basis, I thought it was OK, but I'm not going to recommend it. Watch it if you fancy and keep your expectations really low.

    Note: I do think Henry Cavill is starting to act himself into being a half decent Superman.

    Ouch - sorry to hear that, Fats. Will they need to dig around (sorry if you're squeamish) to get the rest of the root out?
    As one who has spent many an unhappy hour in the dentist's chair, I can deeply sympathise ........

    I think you're right Fran. In his defence (slightly) the root was right on top of the nerve that runs from the side of the jaw. He was worried about damaging that as he'd warned me it could cause damage that takes a year to recover from or is even permanent <yikes>

    If it's any consolation, a friend had a bit of root left in and it caused no problems and then rose to the surface much later and was removed easily.

    Thanks Fran. I was worried by that. Tonight is now the jaw aching like mad.

    Sorry to hear that.
    I went to the dentist, a few weeks back, because I was having hot/cold issues with a tooth, only to find out the troublesome tooth is a crown!!
    The dentist that fitted the crown, in Spain, did a good job and it has been there for three years or so with no problems.
    My dentist here explained that some molars have three canals, with a nerve in each, but some molars have four canals, meaning four nerves.
    She reckons this molar was the four canal variety, but one nerve was missed.
    To have it put right, I have to be referred to a specialist, and it can't be done on the NHS. She reckons it would be around £800!!!!!
