Virgin.

My GP surgery is now part of http://www.virgincare.co.uk/our-reach/assura-leicestershire-llp/. This disgusts me. The fact that my health and that of my family will put money into the pocket of Richard Branson makes me very very angry. In case you think this guy has anyone’s interests at heart but his you need to read and understand this post: http://eoin-clarke.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/virgin-accuse-nhs-of-predatory.html.

Metal

I had forgotten how much it hurts to stretch up an ear cartilage piercing. It had been about 2.4mm and going to 3.2 stung. (Healing Tip: never do both ears at the same time. Makes staying asleep impossible). The goal is 4mm so one more bout of pain yet to go.

No idea what to do with all this old metal.

My news

This is why I clear all cookies every time I close Firefox. It is why I never login to Google or other news services to read what is happening. I don’t want ‘News for Me’, just the news.

I’m sure my ISP can track me if they want but they too need to get past https searches (DuckDuckGo!) and vpns. I’m doing nothing bad, nothing wrong. I just do not want what I am shown today to be decided by what I read yesterday or before that. My mind is quite capable of limiting itself at times and I don’t need any help with that.
