So please drop in and say hi!

Top...1...2...3....4 missing....5 ok....

I'm sure dentists speak a different language. I don't know what they learn at dentist school but I have visions of them all sat round like in secondary school language lessons, learning the language of dentistry. Chanting out 'slight overcrowding'....'5 partially erupted'....'6 capped'...and all the other oh so familiar phrases. And how the writer-downer ever manages to hear what the dentist mumbles I'll never know. I reckon those writer-downers are really just gossippy nosey people in the perfect career. They sit there snidely hearing all the intimate details of your teeth, shooting an unimpressed look if anything should be wrong or interested in everything you could possibly have wrong with your teeth-just nosey. ALSO, pleeaasee can they learn to control that sucky vaccuum thing (no innuendos there-hrmmm don't you think innuendo would be a good name for a games console...the Nintendo Innuendo....) I should mention that this post or this blog in no way endorses Nintendo blah blah blah *insert legal stuff here*

So...where was I, oh yes, that stupid sucky thing. So yeah good idea, need a small hoover thing to suck up saliva etc. But I draw a line at having my cheek, and the inner contents of my nose taken too! I mean are they that nervous-is it necessary to shake that much? I end up with a strange contorted face and a distinctly unblocked nose! My theory is that dentists just make up all that rubbish to intimidate you, to put you in your place (I believe Bill Bailey?!? Does a very funny section on dentists and their tools).

In case you hadn't guessed i went to the dentist today and guess what-I only have to go once a year now! Yay! I don't know why everyone dislikes the dentist so much-I've never had any major problems, but one less visit a year can only be good news.

Most annoying question this week...'So, you Christmas shopping?'!?!- 'No, i just thought i'd pop in now that it's quiet in town to get a BBQ for next summer oh and possibly some candles for Diwali'

And there wont be snow in Africa this Christmas time...

...The greatest gift they'll get this year is life. Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow.

Ahhh gotta love the good old Christmas songs. I'm not going to spend ages discussing the flaws in Band Aid's song, as for many people it will be old news. However if you have not considered it yet-just take a moment to consider the lyrics...possibly the most innacurate and some might argue racist song ever written! And that's one of the better Christmas songs!! The problem is that most Christmas songs are awful.

I have made one trip into town since I have been back-and hopefully wont have to make many more. The number of awful singers belting out or trying to belt out rubbish Christmas songs is just too much. The first few can be laughed off, but by the 20th set, you're wishing it was a silent night. Maybe thats just very scroogish of me, but i'm not a big fan of many christmas songs.

In fact the 4th Carol service of the year turned out to be a bit of a disappointment, with 10 choir anthems and about 5 carols i was allowed to sing! Ah well. There is only one thing for it-I shall write my own Christmas song. This time tomorrow you shall all be treated to my very own Christmas song! (Partly because i promised Katherine one!) Its going to be good! So listen out!

There has been nothing of note which has come to pass since my return from dunelm so i wont keep you any longer with the boring day to day news. 24hrs....hrmmmm
