Did you have a tooth out? Or was it filled??? Details!!!
Funny when you’re young, you can get away with any sort of behaviour - if I did the semaphore thing now I’d probably be led away by kindly people in white coats.

I once went to female dentist, who was not only very good at her job (and she had a lot to do in my mouth), but because of her eyes. She had the most wonderful eyes of the whole damn earth, with little golden stars in her pupillae. It was mesmerizing, I did not want it to end.
Well that sounds lovely. I wonder if she was aware of the effect she was having on you?
I don’t recall seeing Wendy mentioned for quite some time. The more that things change, etc.
Is there a better name for a pub than The Old Shipbuilder’s Arm?
Here in the US, we would say you crop dusted Union Street.
My nephew recently shared photos of his high school prom. The girls were stunning. I don’t remember them dressing so provocatively and mature back in 1977. Then I was overwhelmed with a shame. I’m an filthy old sod. They’re really still just children, regardless of their packaging, and I might be old enough to be a grandfather to them.
I miss blogging. Miss talking to everyone. But I just don’t have it in me. I’ve always been bad at manufacturing enthusiasm. I can’t. It’s why I never got far.
Well… the pub might not exactly be called The Old Shipbuilder’s Armpit – I just want to give the place a bit of privacy. But it’s holding out well as one of the very few remaining old-fashioned boozers of Lancaster.
Yes, the girls on the train, even (or because?) they were in their school uniforms did have that terrible, red light sexiness about them. But as the remark attributed to Frank Sinatra goes “they can’t put in jail for what goes on in your head.”
Always nice to see you round though Exile.
Ah adventures in dentistry!!! though you sly masochist loving the needle int the gums, that’s the one part i can do without… though the nitrous oxide is always pleasant and my favorite dentists dole out sweeties after the appointment… meaning lovely prescriptions that take away the pain ;)
It’s always great to connect with the kids, lol! you charming old man ;) apparently i’m a big hit with Disaster’s friends, he even said to me one day that he wanted to be like me when he grew up, lol! cuz all his friends thought i was “cool"… i told him be careful what he wished for!!
Over here it’s more adrenaline and lignocaine rather than nitrous oxide, but you can always go down the park and buy the latter :)
I’m not surprised Disaster’s friends think you’re cool – that’s a nice position to be in!

Not yet – I’ve the delightful prospect of no fewer than four extractions coming up. The cupful of anaesthetic was for a very vigorous clean-up and a “pocket test", which involves poking at my teeth with a pointy metal thing. Unpleasant, but am paying the price for decades of neglect (and of course, not having had an NHS dentist for years).
