Gee, thanks to everyone (especially, as I bet we'll all agree, "Peace" for his inspired piece of Canuck folklore; I could legitimately add the shorthand "LOL", because I did "Laugh Out Loud"). I stated that I'd try to keep things short in earlier message, only mentioning things directly concerned with the actual delays rather than adding a couple of circumstances that are really distressing me; briefly, because the Big Bad Crown was pressing against one edge of a Front Tooth for a few months, this Front Tooth has "rotated" (very slightly, of course) and thus caused the appearance of a gap between it and the other Front Tooth; actually, it's just a "step" caused by one tooth moving forwards of the other. Worse; this feature now causes a whistle on the pronunciation of sibilants ("s" followed by "o" is worst of all). The difference between recordings made in 2003/2004 and those made last year is unmistakeable. Waaaah! And I always strove for perfect diction in singing.

Okay: I've checked when the MP holds her "Surgeries" in this Library. Exits "frustrated by bureaucratic arse-dragging"; I may be gone for some time)
