Might be worth checking this out as they offer 0% finance deals. Alternatively if you have two credit cards with sufficient limits you could transfer the amount from one to the other if the other offers a 0% rate for x number of months (I think a lot of cards do though they charge a small percentage of the amount as a fee).

I can't help with a recommendation for a rhinoplasty, but I did have to consult a plastic surgeon for something completely different recently (large, facial mole removal). My advice would be to ask anyone you're planning to use, not just to give you glossy testimonials but ask if they have previous clients who would be prepared to speak with you about their experience of the procedure you want to have, or would provide a no-names but specific recommendation for the procedure.


It was quite surprising to me but a number of the surgeons I consulted flat out refused to show me "real client" before and after pictures or would even consider consulting their previous clients to ask them to give a recommendation I could see. I went with a surgeon whose office was prepared to do this, and I've been extremely happy with the results.

Not if the patient consents - I certainly wouldn't expect any info to be shared without that. However, my surgeon asked me if I was happy to share my before and after as she does with all her patients (which I was). And I'd also be happy to give her a recommendation if she contacted me and asked me if I would be willing to speak to a prospective patient.


Most people wouldn't hire a builder or architect without asking to see photos of previous jobs, and I'm considerably more concerned about how my face looks than my house! Plenty of my clients ask for references when they first instruct me. It just really surprised me that some surgeons/clinics point blank refused to even consider how they could provide me with any evidence of how the procedure I needed would be in practice.

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
