    Dental Care

    It's more complicated than that. The Cochrane Collaberation (summary of all research into the subject), say that in their view the impact of third molars in incisor crowding is a maximum of 1mm per arch. There are many causes of orthodontic relapse, but failure to remove third molars is not one of them. There is a considerable amount of controversy about this. Wisdom tooth removal is painful, unpleasant, and expensive. There are risks associated with it, the main one is parasthesia, and / or dysaesthesia of the inferior dental nerve, (the one numbed up for lower fillings / extractions). (ie permanent numb lip). Having said that, if wisdom teeth need removing it is best done whilst you are young, as the jaw gets a lot denser as you get older. Also if they are causing problems, repeated infections etc., or have associated pathology, again, they should be removed. It is also worth remembering you don't have to have all four out. Do some research yourselves, speak to an Oral Surgeon, and don't rush. Good luck.
  2. Before we came to Oz we lived in Marbella, and I got a flight from Ryanair once for €1 to Liverpool, and once I even got one for €0 with a €6 booking fee. By far the funniest flight I ever took was with Ryanair. I was on my own, so got on the plane last. As I was queuing up, there was a young lady trying to get on, but she fell foul of their hand luggage rules, she had a bottle of Vodka. It put her just over weight for hand luggage so they wanted €40 to put it in the hold. She didn't have it, so being a gentleman, although I didn't know her, I offered to pay it for her. She declined my offer, and proceeded to drink it! Anyway, I got on, and seat 1B was empty,.........sort of. There was a bag of sandwiches on it belonging to the man in seat 1A. So I asked him very kindly to move them, he very rudely refused, telling me that he had paid extra to get on first, so I would have to sit somewhere, in fact anywhere else. He was rather rude about it, so I pressed the call button, the stewardess came, and basically told him to move his sandwiches or pay for a seat for them! So I sat down, and he just started moaning and generally going on, so much so that the chap in seat 1C moved, he said, "I am not listening to you all the way to Liverpool," so, suddenly I had an empty seat next to me. Anyway, enter stage left aforementioned young lady, by now, a bottle of Vodka to the good, so, again, being a gentleman, I offered her my seat, and moved to seat 1C. She was very grateful; told me I was a gent. Just as we took off she turned to the chap in 1A to say what a nice man I was, but, tragically, the Vodka got the better of her, and she threw up over him, and even funnier, over his sandwiches.
  3. The sky won't fall in, it will be pretty much as before. At least we will be able to get ciggies and booze duty free again! People are anti politics right now, that's why UKIP did so well, that's why we voted out; because the political classes virtually unanimously wanted us to stay, there were jobs in it for them, MEPs, all kinds in the two, the two Parliaments they have to have with our taxes, it was just a rip off and people are sick of it. This is part of a pattern, look at Donald Trump, he might not become president, but he's on the ballot, and he isn't up against a great candidate so look out world!
  4. Pity Tony Blair isn't still an MP
  5. Just to reiterate about these "migrant fares." It is worth using a calculator, then pricing up a single, plus two suitcases each, and seeing if that adds up to less than the migrant fare. i know when I did it it was cheaper to buy a single rather than an emigration fare. Look at "parcel to go," and also look at removal companies. They vary enormously in price, so beware. We were quoted £10,000 from one company, another quoted £5,500 for the exact same deal, so it really is worth asking around.
  6. Of course the cheapest way is to walk, and swim. (LOL). All the carriers are much of a muchness. I always say Qantas. Join their frequent flyer programme before you book. Its worth it, there is no Ryanair or Easyjet in Oz. Use any removal company for your excess luggage; search around before you come. You can get here really cheap, but it is a long, long way. 24 hours is an eternity on a plane, and the really bad bit is the second leg, because it goes on, and on, and on, and on. Get loads of sleep on the first leg. I suppose it depends on how many of you there are.
  7. This is an easy one. Travel insurance for 30 days, then IMAN who have dedicated 457 Visa Policy. its very dubious to keep relying on Travel Insurance. If you have a big illness / accident they will just fly you back to the UK and wash their hands of you........good luck then getting covered in Oz. If you then stay, and get PR you can transfer to NIB with continuity of cover, and no medical hassles, all pre existing conditions covered (please check). Once here, apply for a Medicare card.
  8. Undoubtedly Comrade Corbyn would be the candidate of choice of the Tory Party. This would be bad for the UK. Democracy needs a strong, credible, nay plausible Opposition to function. That would not be the case under Corbyn. Beware.
  9. I think just stop paying any benefit to anyone who hasn't worked for three years. UK citizens get no benefits if they move to Europe, we should integrate with our EU comrades and welcome anyone, but, don't ask us for a handout. they should never have built that Tunnel, and the sooner we have the EU referendum and leave, the better.
  10. If you are a temporary resident your super is taxed if you draw it, but not if you have PR, or are a citizen.......once you are old enough. Sorry if my point wasn't clear.
  11. I hate to be controversial, but isn't the whole point about superannuation that it is favourably taxed because it is supposed to support you / the Australian Taxpayers in your dotage. It is not meant to be a tax fiddle. If you don't want to become citizens here then don't. But please don't expect Australian Taxpayers to fund you, because we would rather fund our schools, our hospitals, and our pensioners.
  12. Your Aunty if she is a UK citizen does not need a UK passport to be allowed to enter the UK. Sorry that you seem to have had some really bad advice. Once I get citizenship here I intend to go to the UK with my Aussie passport safely stashed, and have some fun with UK immigration.
  13. Look at their safety record. Compare their "command gradients" in their cockpits.
  14. Freckleface didn't restrict her comments to "large companies," much less define what is a "large company," she just said in Australia.
  15. Crikey, that's just not correct. As a Senior Clinician, and a Senior Manager as well, who is legally allowed to use a scalpel in an operating theatre in Australia I can tell you that we absolutely always require written references. Shame on you.
