Had mine done through the NHS. Basically two questions, "do you have children already" and "how long since your last child was born?".
If you haven't had kids yet, you just need to explain why you want a vasectomy, usually with a specialist. If your last child was born less than two months ago, they want you to wait (apparently a lot of men's first reaction to the realities of having a baby is to try to ensure it won't happen again).
Is that actually true? I suspect not.

I know it doesn't help, but Europeans have always been amazed how much you guys were charged for SMS. Even in 1999, over here messages cost a fraction of what you were charged - that you pay for them at all these days is just mind-boggling.

These two places are in Cheshire. There's also the always confusing Wynbunbury (Winbry), and the birthplace of Lewis Carroll, Daresbury (Darsbry).
But they're not taken from you - they still happened.
No actual harm has happened. Nothing changes the fact that you had a conversation. You are no poorer for it being hidden.
I know it's said a lot, but if you don't want to play by someone else's rules, you can set up your own instance. Every single thing on here is the result of someone just setting up their own instance. Honestly, it's never been easier than it is now.
This. It's less to do with religion, and everything to do with human nature.
From Ancient Egyptian Priests and Medieval Christianity, to Donald Trump and Boris Johnson - when in times of uncertainty, people will turn to anyone claiming to have all the answers.
"Us Vs Them" is the oldest tactic when it comes to gaining and consolidating power.
Politics. It's leopards all the way down.
'Enterstela' is an anagram of 'Arse Nettle', if that helps.
Even imagining this pronunciation hurts my ears.
