Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Dentists

As I sat in the dentists chair, reclined into position, the light angled into my eyes, I thought to myself how could this be any worse? And as if someone somewhere saw that thought and plucked it out the ether, the air was filled with the opening chords or 'Everybody Hurts' by REM from a small portable radio in the corner.

A small inward sigh was then followed by the noxious feeling that can only be generated by someone trying to shove a comparably large spike through a comparably smaller (I would've said too small) hole in between the teeth whilst the back of the throat fills with blood. As the dentist said

Your teeth are generally ok. Your gums round your molars are slightly inflamed
I was prevented from screaming out
Thats because your poking them with a sharp piece of metal you stupid person?!?!?
by having the mirror clip the back of my throat inducing a rather unpleasant retching/choking motion as I attmepted to swallow the tools and the dentists fingers as I leaped upward.

Grrr... Argh...

Things to remember:
1) When at the dentist, play nice cos he has great capacity for inflicting un-niceness on you.
2) Always play nice when leaving dentist cos at some point there is a good chance you'll be going back. At this point, refer back to point 1.
