If I squirt mouthwash around that tooth I get an odd taste in my mouth. Could this be an abscess? Thats how mine started, got bigger and bigger until I wanted to cut my head off, pushed tooth up and out the socket by a couple of mm, it burst leaving mouth full of green puss BUT it felt soooooo good to be in no pain, got tablets and tooth out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had to have a series of spinal injections the consultant said after that he bet it was the worst pain you have ever experienced, I made him laugh when I replied that I have would five sets of them before one tooth abscess. If the worst comes to the worse I will just get the wife to lance it for me. Neil clark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myglaren Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 In the absence of anything from the doctor, a mouthwash of warm salt water is fairly effective if not very pleasant. Tamworthbay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is that if the Americans* aren't doing something then as far as they are concerned it isn't happening. Notwithstanding frequent rocket launches from Russia and Kazakhstan in the interval between the last Space Shuttle mission. I did find it quite interesting, especially the very 2001 esque spacesuit, and wellington boot combo modelled by the astronauts on board. *I know Elon is a saffer but you get my meaning.

Proper tooth ache has to be up there with the worst pain you can get. I had a blood test this morning and mentioned it, they will do me some antibiotics and I lanced it last night. Took a night mouthful of brandy to get rid of the taste. Great timing for it! The one abscess I had a few years ago affected my eye sight as the swelling was so bad, that was truly horrendous. I remember an outing with a motorbike group I was part of many years ago, we were sat around a fire at the campsite at Wasdale Head. Someone got onto injuries and of course they got gorier and gorier until one bloke started on about dental surgery he had had in Africa, within a minute everyone was yelling at him to shut up! ? paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayMK Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 On 5/27/2020 at 6:24 PM, RayMK said: Low profile tyres are hopeless over potholes. In my Mitsubishi Mirage, I wince if I see a pothole that I can't avoid. It makes a colossal bang, though no punctures yet. The same route in my '94 Tipo has no such stress. It has 'proper' tyres and decent suspension. My Tipo was the car of choice from 22nd May until today. I had used the Mirage for a hospital appointment on the 21st and decided to forego its aircon and autobox for a few days whilst it purified itself in the heat. As mentioned above, the Tipo gave me stress free motoring over potholed lanes. It was genuinely a pleasure to drive. Today I swapped back to air conditioned, automatic modernity and, using the same route used with the Tipo to get to my exercise haunts, there was an almighty BANG as the f*****g thing hit an unremarkable pothole after just 7 miles. I swore loudly about modern rubbish tyres and suspension then continued muttering obscenities until I stopped to check for damage. All seemed to be well. For the rest of my local journey I was on edge. Designers should forget about the bloody Nurburgring and consider a bit of resilience and comfort in their equations. Note: The Tipo actually handles better than the Mirage on the limit as well - no sudden breakaway, all nicely progressive and controllable. I do however concede that the aircon was nice today.

GrumpiusMaximus Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 We bought an 'Event Shelter' for our garden to cover a swimming pool (yes, I know - but actually not a bad idea) and in putting up the pool yesterday, we realised that the shelter we had was too small. Went to Go Outdoors (who were excellent with the social distancing, etc.) to get a bigger one - wallet relieved, drove home - went to put it up and it was evidently a display model that had a broken part. Got back in the car quickly to exchange it (it was 5.20 at this point and it was closing at 6) and on the A2 down back to Canterbury a large stone hit my windscreen and has put a fuck-off chip, about the size of a £2 coin just to the left of the steering wheel. Tried to book Autoglass online (covered by insurance, £75 excess) and they can't do anything until the 17th June - so now I have to call them. Which I hate doing. Along with £100 of new tyres yesterday on the front and it's looking to not be a cheap month...

I like to know how far a car's handling can be pushed so that if I decide to drive rapidly (subject to conditions and laws of course) I know what to expect. The Mirage understeers strongly but it's short travel suspension and stiff anti roll bar and torsion axle cause a rear wheel to unload suddenly, causing oversteer. Many modern front drive superminis and city cars, Mirage included, will readily cock a rear wheel when parking on only moderately undulating surfaces. The Tipo's underlying characteristics are similar but it has longer travel suspension, taller profile tyres and is not as stiff in roll. Consequently, the transitions are more benign. Lift off oversteer (or tuck-in of the front) is quite pronounced on the Mirage but hardly noticeable on the Tipo. My Pug 205 also had excellent handling for similar reasons. However, give me rear engined handling any day. Contollable oversteer is so much nicer than the allegedly safer ploughing straight on understeer which reached chronic levels on some cars. Most moderns have high limits then breakaway suddenly, hence the electronic aids to prevent those limits being reached. I do go on a bit. Ever since having a Meccano set at 7 years old and testing all sorts of suspension characteristics it's become a slight obsession ?. paulplom, chadders, LightBulbFun and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
