    GMC Registration Problems

    Lovely, the GMC admins have just realised that an error in their almost-3-years-old script has prevented registrations for the past week or so. Not much has been happening recently, quite a disappointment really. Guess we are just waiting for YoYo to cause another controversy to kick things off.
