Today I'm happy about......

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Today I'm happy about the advances that appear to have been made in the administering of local anesthetic. Been to the dentist's for a filling (Martin Gore wasn't there today). Now then, he told me in advance that this was to be a particularly deep filling to the tooth that sits in front of my upper right wisdom tooth.
Before he started drilling I expressed my concern that the only numbing I was experiencing was localised to my outer gum right next to the tooth in question and nowhere else. He said that that was perfect, then bish, bash, bosh, all done within 10 minutes.
Whatever happened to the feeling that half your head had turned to marshmallow and that someone had replaced your tongue with a sizeable loaf?
Brilliant.

They now use nerve agents, previously tested in Syria or some other appropriate war zone. Future dental developments include drones that monitor your teeth from a height of 35000 ft and deliver knockout missiles that inject a controlled amount of anaesthetic directly into the bloodstream, knocking you out so that you can be loaded onto a helicopter and flown to the local field dentist - it's called extraordinary rendition orthodontics.

Five day weekend......

I'm happy that someone else is happy today, given that most of you miserable sods spend far more time and energy on the 'Angry' thread!

I've just been swimming - in the sea - deliberately - just cos I can!

still cold/freezing - but once you get over that - absolutely beautiful and calming to float in the calm sea in the late evening sun listening to the gulls overhead and the waves rolling onto the beach....

Being told by the <cough> Windows IT Department <cough> that my computer was running slow, concluding 50 minutes later with the assertion "I wasn't right in the head", for having the temerity to waste their time...

I think it would cheer us all up to hear how you filled 50mins of their time!

i've been having stomach cramps for a week... missus said i should see a doctor..

"what's the point of doctors when we have the internet??" i said.

so yesterday, I diagnosed myself on the interweb - and it seems I had inoperable end-stage bowel cancer... which was a bugger!

anyway - feel a bit better today - the new diagnosis is "a bit of a jippy tummy" - it's a miracle!!

No you shouldn't!
Boden are a brand of trouser which (especially the red chino's), whilst not being quite nautique, have a kind of 'hey I'm staying in my weekend house by the sea' look about them. Mainly worn by nice people, ( I am in no way suggesting this in your case bish!) with the leg rolled up to mid calf, partnered by said leather flip flops, or if it's pissing down, old deck shoes that smell of 6 day old dead crab & lobster. Such attire can be seen frequently around the IoW between the months of April to the end of September, when the city types pop down for the weekend to check on their boats, wives and children (in that order); who are 'staying the season', in their million pound hideaway by the sea. It also gives 'em a break from shagging their secretary's, work colleagues and general mistresses during the week, but you can guarantee you'll hear all about this in your local pub, where these knobs have a kind of primary school playground shouting contest between each other. That is until about 10.00 ish when their wives just 'nip in' for a quick one as the kids are all asleep and unless they wake up, no one will know they are left unattended. Then you can watch in amazement as a mid 40 year old woman demolishes a bottle of chilled shiraz in about 3 minutes, to numb the monotony of the forthcoming sexual fumblings of her drunken arse of a husband, before jumping into her little fiat 500 (with Italian stripes), and driving off home again.

We have a tinterweb doctor at work. She is not only the local sales prevention officer but the world's worst hypochondriac, and for these two reasons everybody was always taking the piss. That was until she saved a colleague's life by correctly diagnosing a ruptured cerebral aneurysm! She's still a hypochondriac and an interfering tinterweb diagnostician, but she's allowed to be smug about it now.

Amazing. Without the whiff of crab and lobster and with plus fours instead of bodens you've just described to a tee the weekend cottagers that surround me.
