A issue with anti biotics is when prescribed the dosage should be enough to take care of infection, so if someone takes anti biotics, but then stops before its finished the infection comes back resistant to the antibiotics (so its worse than not taking them at all).

I have noticed outside of the uk some consider 2 weeks as a minimum course of antibiotics for tooth related infections.

Prior to about 2 years ago dentists used to always give me 7 days worth of antibiotics.

In the past 2 years or so its now always only 5, the problem been since I have got from an emergeny dentist its hard to go back to ask for more, as its extremely hard to get an appointment.

The most recent lot I was given my abcess only started going down from about day 4, pain went away from day 5 and at the end of the course the abcess was noticebly shrunk but still there. Now its grown again (probably resistant) thankfully pain still gone but am annoyed that it probabyl wouldnt have done this if I had a longer prescription.

Have nhs changed policies to reduce drugs given to save money or is it the case for whatever reason in the past 2 years dentists have seen fit to just give me less. Still waiting to get registered on a permanent dentist, my area is sevely overwhelmed.

Last year I went to a private dentist who gave me 10 days at the end of the 5 days I had of the emergency nhs dentist, he told me if I was nhs he would have gave me less, I didnt start asking him questions, but he chose to make that statement to me. Wish I went to him this time also but didnt. ]]> Lifestyle Chrysalis http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/22/33693558-nhs-cutting-back-on-drugs-prescribed.html <![CDATA[ Virgin Media Inc. : ‘Broadbandits' wanted by Virgin Media for crimes against WiFi]]> http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/12/33693557-virgin-media-inc-broadbandits-wanted-virgin.html Sat, 25 May 2013 14:48:57 GMT Just seen this article and thought it worth posting. :)

Virgin Media has released details of seemingly innocent household items that have been identified as being among the worst culprits for causing WiFi interference in homes.

A close consultation with Virgin Media's vast team of engineers and customer service experts has led the company's resident broadband sheriffs to call a showdown with the worst household hoodlums known to be playing havoc on WiFi signals across the land.

I want to reduce it to around £50 or less. I'm not bothered about films/sport and I could reduce the B/B to 30mb. My problem is I can't actually cancel the whole thing as I took out a Tivo, which I only use for recording V+ style, and I am still on contract.
Also I'll probably lose the loyalty bonus. Any suggestions about approaching virgin re keeping tv xl and anytime phone,lowering B/B and at the same time getting a good deal??

More children may drown without better school swimming provision, the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) has warned.
Half of seven- to 11-year-olds in England, some 1.1 million children, cannot swim the length of a standard pool, research suggests.
Only 2% of schools surveyed delivered the government's recommended 22 hours a year of swimming lessons.
The report says Ofsted should focus PE inspections on swimming as "it is the only sport that can save lives".
Hmm! Seems that the situation hasn't improved since I was at school myself..or when my children attended school. At least mine could swim before they attended school but I had to pay to ensure they could swim proficiently something I deemed very important living five minutes from a beach..
Of course it may just be that the provisions weren't done well in my area..Maybe others have a different experience? ]]> Current Affairs Maggy J http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/20/33693548-more-may-drown-without-better-swimming.html RAF jets scrambled after incident http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/20/33693547-raf-jets-scrambled-after-incident.html Fri, 24 May 2013 13:28:35 GMT http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22658979 ---Quote--- RAF Typhoon jets have been launched to investigate an incident involving a civilian aircraft within UK airspace, the Ministry of Defence has said. ---End Quote--- Plane has landed safely, police involved. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22658979

A mother of eight who fraudulently received £350,000 in benefits and tax credits has been jailed for four years.

Amanda Webber, 43, claimed five of her children had disabilities and medical conditions affecting their mobility.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-22652179

Quote:
Some of the children attended fee-paying schools and performed in professional TV and stage productions including Les Miserables, The Wizard of Oz and Billy Elliot.

Prosecutor Andrew Evans told jurors during the five-week trial that the acting, dancing and singing required for the roles were inconsistent with the care and mobility described in claims for disability living allowance (DLA).

Webber received an overpayment of benefits to which she was not entitled of about £353,000 over an eight-year period from 2002.

At the time of her arrest she lived in a seven-bedroom property in Sussex.

Does the current range on Samsung TV have the ability to record programmes.

Would like this so 'thinking' if they can't I would go for an external HD box + recorder drive (such as a humax HD) rather than go for a built in HD tuner and then have to buy a separate HD recorder.

Any ideas and thanks for your time
