Re: Things you've always wanted to know......
I always wondered how the Welsh got this long held reputation for being 'sheep shaggers'.
That question was answered last night when I was browing some random fact sites when I got home from work.
Apparently, when Wales and England joined,The Welsh had English laws forced upon them. The English had a law whereby if you were caught stealing sheep, you'd have your hands chopped off, but if you were caught having 'relations' with a Sheep, the punishment was having a finger chopped off. So The Welsh whenever they got caught Sheep stealing, would say they were shagging them instead, thus only losing a finger and not hands.
Unfortunately for the Welsh, as the 'excuse' was documented, over the midst of time, the reputation of being sheep-shaggers has stuck.

I've heard a few Aussies refer to their New Zealand brothers as sheep shaggers too.
Whats the reasoning behind that ?

See this is the thing, problems with teeth can cause all sorts of other issues, so why is it not covered under free NHS treatment?vietnammer wrote:/\ there is a risk of heart failure originating in tooth abcesses. John Glascock, a bass player with Jethro Tull died that way and I think he was only in his 20's. That's one example.
I get that cosmetic treatment should be chargeable, although the fact that breast reductions and certain other 'cosmetic' treatments are carried out on the NHS due to mental or physical health issues, would suggest the same standards should apply.
I saw the other evening that there are still areas in the country where you can't access an NHS dentist. Apparently the payments they receive from the Govt for NHS treatment are structured so that one dentist could do twice as much work as another who is selective in what he does and who he treats, yet the one doing more work can lose their payments!
Can you imagine if all NHS treatments were assessed and carried out in this manner?!!

I'm sure our cat should have had a visit from the District Nurses by now, and we'll have to sell his basket to pay for his care.
He really does seem to be losing the plot.

It used to be,as did ophthalmology. It changed in 1951. Dentists are now basically private contractors who work for the NHS who subsidise your treatment.hammerdivone wrote:

Ok, I get that not everything can be free on the NHS but for them to give the reason that 'dentistry is cosmetic'....ffs....only work on incisors & canines(woof) could truly be said to be cosmetic.
Lying bunch of c****.

In written Spanish, an exclamation or question has the relevant signs at the beginning of the sentence as well as at the end. I understand the logic, but I don't understand why they are upside-down. Is anyone able to enlighten me?

A quick Google search brings this up, which I think is probably going to cause more confusion ...Rocketron wrote:In written Spanish, an exclamation or question has the relevant signs at the beginning of the sentence as well as at the end.

Spanish declarative and interrogative phrases are otherwise indistinguishable, the inverted marks came to be used. But oftentimes, the entire sentence isn't actually interrogative or exclamatory.

Re: Things you've always wanted to know......
The way questions are structured in Spanish is different to English. We can say "do you fancy a quick one?", whereas they say "you fancy a quick one?". The word "do" prepares you for a question, the upside down question mark does the same. It's upside down so that it's clearly the beginning of a question, and not the end of a question in the previous sentence.Rocketron wrote:In written Spanish, an exclamation or question has the relevant signs at the beginning of the sentence as well as at the end.
