Or, if he’s a proper feminist, maybe you could just sit there and listen to him whine on about men.
Either one would work.

I broadly agree. My cheapo Chinese one have utterly baffling and inconsistent readings. I’d never rely on it at all.

Be careful with them though, and don’t rely on them. I bought one off Amazon, and after a few tries with it, we did a slightly controlled trial, measuring how much I’d had to drink, timing tests, taking readings etc. the results made no sense at all.

Yes, but it was regarded as a bit vulgar, so we never had it. Boggles the mind nowadays, how much TV we all used to watch. My kids are utterly post-TV. I could remove the tv and Sky and they wouldn’t even notice.
I’m not suggesting that they spend their whole time reading Kant and translating Plutarch into Sanskrit. They skip TV in favour of TikTok and Snapchat. I wish that would actually watch *a bit more* TV.

I’ve never been a staunch fan, but back before the kids came along, I’d do about 8 home games and say 2 away per season for my club, and then I’d go to a few games where my team wasn’t involved; freebies and so forth.
Now, approximately zero. Maybe one per season.

So if I come to you with a slightly chipped tooth, do you insist that we either do nothing or extract the tooth? So as not to be ‘in limbo’.
Or do you make a more nuanced decision based on chances of success, price, effort etc?
Might it not be better to try work an optimal approach, based on both NHS and private resources?
