Some places do still do the syringing as an adjunct, it's just not a standard NHS thing anymore apparently. (I don't know for sure.) They probably have student nurses do it and appointments will be like hens' teeth. Just depends where you are.

£50 isn't bad, I paid £60 for microsuction just a few months ago and also got my ears cleaned too ha ha ha haaaaaaa 28 years old i was and that cleared 30 years of gunk. Felt like I lost weight.

It's pretty cool cos you have superman hearing for at least a few days afterwards.

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
Yeah I remember when I had it done, I could hear two women having a quiet conversation across a reasonably busy road. It was honestly a bit surreal

Then I filled my ears with gunk again by listening to loud music with in-ear headphones lol

What? I used to be able to get this done at my GPs just by calling up and asking to see the nurse for a syringeing? It's been a few years since I've needed it as I've been taking care of it at home with a home kit I bought to use in the shower. That's so much money!

Some GPs still do it, but most do not anymore. :( Stopped about 3 years or so ago. If you can't afford it and you have to wait for a hospital visit, the waiting list round here is over 6 months.
There are so many minor ailments that are a huge detriment to daily life - ear wax, cataracts, chiropody, some mobility issues that are basically untreated hamstrings or similar, that could be easily fixed with a bit of money & a bit of will.
Mum's having to go private for her cataracts because the NHS wait is months and months and she needs to be able to drive, nan - widowed at 49 - was in agony for 20+ years with her legs that I'm convinced was hardened muscle from many hours of hand-tailoring sitting on a hard wooden chair and hands & knees scrubbing flagstoned farm houses & the local church, just to get enough money to live, a few sessions of massage therapy might have alleviated a lot of that (I have that now about 4 times a year at £45 a throw - also not available on the NHS).

I have BBC News on. It's incredible how the standard behaviour of journalists is standing behind a cordon and yelling from a distance at MPs walking down Downing Street while the MP inevitable says either nothing

Meanwhile the presenter has been going on about Bernard Cribbens songs and the plot of Dallas. loving deranged but in the last entertaining way possible

Sadly, it's literally google "ear syringing <your postcode>".

Assuming your GP can't recommend you to somewhere that still does it, 250 miles away.

Search for ear microsuction near you. Specsavers offer it in larger stores.

It's a million times better than syringing.

Specsavers offer it, assuming the branch does ear stuff like hearing aids. Dunno how common that is

There may well be somewhere that does it cheaper, idk. Private GPS maybe?

Also to either clear things up or make things less clear: Atlas Shrugged came out in 1956 or 1957 (I forget, late 50s anyway) and Dagney(?) Taggart was foremost an executive, not really an engineer.

One thing is clear though, it is a very bad book for many reasons and you should not read it unless someone is paying you to read it.

I assume they call it the Moggwyn Dynasty.

This is a reference to Elder Rings (the videogame prequel to Amazon's Lord Of The Rings series) which as far as I can tell is an anime game about riding around on your little horsie, collecting mushrooms, and holding hands with girls.

And some of the girls have four hands.

OK I'm wrong about the year, was sure it was set in the 30s at any rate.
DT did study engineering in the day and work in the signalling hut or whatever (not going to find the book to double check!) at night!
