So this afternoon I am off to the Quack. Not, as it may be surmised, to have him look at my knee, though I shall take the opportunity to arrange an appointment for that, if necessary, but for the long awaited chryo clinic.

Your hero has a number of warts and it is time to get rid of them, particularly the ones on my head, before I start sitting on rocks in ponds, croaking and considering recipes for fly casserole. I must say that the concept of a chryo clinic sounds rather exciting, though I know it will be a disappointment in reality. Being close to vats of liquid nitrogen, with all the resultant steam, and having someone drop blobs of it on the offending warts is a little alarming; I have seen too many movies wherein some poor schmuck gets doused in the stuff and ends up shattered to fragments. I think this would be a poor end for me, especially so close to Christmas.

That said, with the state of the National Health Service, I suppose I should be glad that we warties are not being called together to peel potatoes and bury them along with toads at midnight under the full moon. I write this with some trepidation, because I believe that tomorrow really is a full moon.

I hope they are careful! I don't want someone to have to return you to me in a dustpan!

A BIG dustpan!

I thought I'd better say it before anyone else does!

Sounds like an out-take from Carry On Screaming...

I doubt they'll have enough to freeze all of you, just don't flinch at the wrong moment or you may end up with an earsicle, or froz noz.

Playing with Liquid Nitrogen

As dedicated undergraduate Physics researchers have rigorously tested on unpopular lecturers, getting a bucket of liquid nitrogen splashed on you from a low height such as the top of a door is NOT FATAL. For the lecturer, at any rate.

You can even stick your hand right in the bucket - your body heat evaporates it so your hand is surrounded by a half-inch thick layer of gas.

Plants, on the other hand, have no body heat, and shatter nicely.
