The grumpy thread

[dugong]

When did 'inspiring' turn into 'inspirational', and why?

 

Around two thousand and twelve. The reason I know not. 

[Cavcraft]

My mom says you must mean twenty twelve.

I dare say the Canadians didn't do enough damage the second time. 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I'm guessing your mom flunked math

She's certainly pissing all her resources away.

I thought that's what most Facebook groups descended into?

That and appallingly punctuated posts about Fords, vague threats of ABH and pictures of Range Rover Sports.

I wasn't born in "one thousand nine hundred and seventy nine". Twenty-twelve makes a fucking sight more sense, I don't care if a yank was the first to say it.

What an amazing coincidence - neither was I!

This in my local paper makes me angry,

What type of sub human scum that populates this planet takes pleasure from torturing defenceless animals?

Hope they die in unspeakable agony tomorrow if not sooner.

^That's just horrible

About 26 years ago I made a high speed attempt at going around the corner of lawyers brae in gala on my racer on my way to do my paper round.

I was going so fast I decided to slow down by using my face on the Tarmac as a brake. I smashed my tooth right at the front and it's been dead since. Ihad root treatment at the time which has  allowed it to cling on on in there. Over the years we've shared a lot of tasty cakes, whisky, pies, beer, wine cheese along with the odd punch in the face and hitting myself in the face with a Washburn KC40. About 2 weeks ago it survived an attempted assassination by a particularly aggresive corn on the cob and was alas fatally wounded.

The news today after going to the dentist is it can't be saved or crowned because of the location of the crack in it.  In about 10 days I'll be sporting the gap tooth yokal look, which some would say I've been aspiring to all my life. Remember the good times, you'll be sleeping with the tooth fairy soon and I'll be 40 and not able to say that I have all my own teeth.

 

Also it's 2 grand for a titanium implant.

[vulgalour]

I'm guessing Araldite and duct tape can't sort this one then?  Nor a carefully crafted lollipop stick painted with Tippex.

If you can come up with something for less than 2 grand I'm in.

[DeeJay]

Baked bean can, trowel of wob and finish with rattle can enamel paint. 

Job's a guddun. 

[cort16]

That's not a bad idea. Some chicken wire and some filler followed by a scoot of high build and some appliance paint. It's also somewhere to keep my cyanide incase my mrs makes me watch mamamia.

[garbaldy]

Snap I fell of a budgie used my face as a brake and my front tooth came out through my top lip and ran of into the undergrowth never to be found again. Over the years I have had a dozen or so dentures and its not cheep. I could have bought a small remote island and had nick knack serving me drinks instead I now have my dentist rubbing his hands when I show up.

That is right up there with 'I slipped onto a bog roll and my hamster accidentally climbed up into my bottom' as you try and tell a purple faced nurse in A&E.

Bill is in for the 940's MOT nearly four weeks after it was tested.

My arse hurts a tiny bit now. "It'll be about £300 all in" has turned into £550.


On top of that I demolished a wall with the Council Estate yesterday and the Montego is now back on front line winter duties 'cos the LPG on the 940 is being a twat. AAAAAAAAARGH!

[cort16]

Funnily enough I've got a mate (also from Berwickshire) who was riding his budgie but with the handbars inverted as it looked cool. He fell off (obvioulsy) as it's unsteerable and just about poked his eye out on the handlebars.

I sympathise; I have a gap. In my case it's because my teeth were slightly crooked when I was a teenager, so my dentist referred me to an orthodontist. This fellow gave me some of those ghastly train-track braces things for a year or so, and he also took one tooth out to re-implant it in a better position.

 

For a (very) few years I had a great Hollywood smile but then the teeth moved back out of place again. Worse, the one that had been removed and re-implanted decided to fall out. Apparently that's quite common, because of course it doesn't have as much root as an ordinary tooth would have.

 

Therefore, I have terrible wonky teeth, whereas if I hadn't listened to the orthodontist when I was 14 I'd only have very slightly imperfect ones. This is something I don't dwell on often as fortunately I'm not particularly vain, but when I do it makes me very grumpy.

[HillmanImp]

Mrs Imp is currently looking at a big dentist bill for something or other (I don't know the technical term). She has been quoted £1,800 in the UK but has enquired abroad and can get it done in Spain by a British ex pat dentist for £600 plus the cost of a holiday. Worth looking into.  

[cort16]

I was looking at those tooth tourist websites but I just think you've got a bit more comeback if goes tits up when you come back. Plus I'd probably just get wankered and end up with coming back with a set of tits installed.

Well it wouldn't be a wasted journey, you would always have something to play with to take your mind of your tooth.

[The Moog]

Had loads of work done in cambodia. It was a Japanese dentist. Root canal was $125, ceramic crown $200. Fabulous service clean as anything. And that was the expensive place..

[Angrydicky]

Does this car have an MOT? Simple enough question, I would have thought.

 

 

 

Yes But Running Driving went out in it today 

 

But like I said it is now Mot Free Being per 1960

 

Is that a yes, or a no? Like pulling teeth! I suspect it doesn't.

Bastard motherfuckers. they need their fucking heads stamping on. I have been seething with rage since I read that.

Fucking horrible bastards. I really do hate this world more and more each day.
