    I've just spent a night in Bruges and it really has surpassed expectations. So clean and feels so safe.
    Don’t go up the tower & watch out for the yanks.

    I tried to make one and it was a disaster. Took me hours as well and it was worse than a Tesco one.

    Some twat collided with my wife's car back in 2021, and refused to take the blame

    Went all the way to Court today (My wife won), because the idiot changed their story, in an attempt to pin the full blame on her - Trouble when you fib, is the fact that it becomes difficult to stick your original statement, and is what cost him

    The news of a breakthrough with Huntingdon's Disease. Not that it directly affects anyone I know (at least, that I know of), but it was the first time in ages that the opening news headline was a positive story rather than just doom and gloom.

    Yes I agree - I wish his was a bigger headline. It's an amazing bit of news.

     Heard a quoted figure of £2Mil for each treatment. Great science, but who funds it?
     Who choses who gets it?

    Not attacking you here but thats such a red herring and misleading question when applied to new science. Whether that be medicine or energy or transport or anything. 

    New breakthrough technologies cost loads to begin with because of the cost of researching them, the niche tech/ equipment/ expertise/ experience needed for it. Over time the skills base grows, technology develops and it be ones both cheaper and more widely available. This is not the end point for the treatment nor the cost of it.

    In this instance for a disease that previously guaranteed an early death and massive loss of quality of life for decades leading up to it, there is now a treatment that works. And in 10 years time with continued development I am sure it will be much more widely available. That alone give massive hope to sufferers and their families. Or even just people who's family carry the recessive gene that causes it and therefore don't know if the disease with appear in one of their family members.
