Yeah alright cheers bruv, how was yours?
I say that, two thirds of it was alright. The other eight hours of a day gets taken up by toothache. Apparently there's a hole in a filling that needs cleaned, filled (giggity), and a crown on top. The bill is going to come in at three ton too which will be absolutely delightful.
Honestly, I'm thinking of paying Anthony Joshua to spark me out by landing a very specific punch on my chops to save me waiting.
Other than that, yeah I'm off work on a few weeks off this time next week, so my head's already checked out. I'm going to turn up, do the bare minimum, fuck off any new projects, and enjoy the run down I think.
Mate, I have really good pliers, so I can save you couple of tons. DM me.
You have no idea how tempting that is. Is the medicinal whiskey included?
Would it make more enticing if I was to say my wife is a retired dentist?
Forgot to mention, I will offer Ardbeg Uigeadail as a preparatory sedative. The only condition is you need to take it neat.
Hot tip: get your tooth dry so it'll stick and do a temp filling with a bit of beeswax. Obv can't eat on it or anything, but helps a lot with the constant background ache
brill, thank you for the advice!
Was thinking about this, how're you going?
Good luck and godspeed, my Brittanic friend
Thank you for staying in touch! I've yet to try your suggestion yet, though I sent my fantastic other half to get some wax from a local heath foods store so it's on my list.
At the moment, I've learned to ease flare-ups by pressing inwards on the tooth, holding it there for a minute or two, and taking a few open mouth breaths to even out the temperature, and the pain seems to go away for a bit!
I'll let you know if I have to break out the bumbley boi cure!
It was OK thanks! Just busy with life stuff. Hopefully you can get your tooth sorted before your break so that you can enjoy it!
I'd bloody love a good solid couple of weeks off work with no responsibilities, it's a pipedream at the moment!
