T'was Declan... it was just a phrase from Life of Brian which I use when someone calls me on something (and I presume your previous post was a reference to me being "particularly tidy" about where the threads go today)


Anyway - back on topic before we are all lounged


I need to find a local dentist after the one I used on Pall Mall has been turfed out by (common theme on here) landlords

Indeed I was referring to that Sean but due to my lack of familarity with your way with words was unsure of your meaning. However am delighted to discover someone whose words make sense yet could mean many things, which I find is just about the most fun one can have in a serious world!.............at least with words anyway.

Sean


I can recommend Keillan at the dentist surgery in Station Approach by Peckham Rye Station. I am a complete coward and he is fab - lovely, gentle Irish chappie who accepts my quaking quirks. Only down side is the premises are grotty, but that doesn't detract from the treatment.

I'm always suspicious of overly new and shiny dental surgeries with all the latest gear. I prefer the ones which have obviously been around for 30 years with the same dentist at the helm.

Strange that the word 'grotty' should crop-up. My last-but-one dentist was also recommended to me with the caveat that it was 'a bit grotty'. The work I had done there - including a gold crown much admired by every dentist since ("Hmmm.. nice bit of work.. where did you get that done?" ha ha) - was top drawer.

You poor thing you. I know Ive had a fear of dentists since before I can remember. I went to a dentist just by Peckham Rye station and she was a lovely french woman who made you feel at ease. Its just as you come out of the station but she was really nice. Ive always had problems with my teeth, think its genetic and I could tell you some horror stories but she was really ok. Good luck

Hi is marvellous. Hadnt been for a few decades and I ended up having root canal treatment with no anaesthetic. Recommend him highly.


==========================


Tillie - this made me laugh. I had too had to have a root canal with Mr Daly and when he started drilling with no sight of an injection I was "slighty" concerned to say the least. Anyway he was brilliant and such a lovely fella. Reminds me a little of Benny Hill. :))


I've been to dentists all over the country and can honestly say that he is one of the best I've ever had to see.

Ha ha - Trust me I wouldn't believe it unless I'd experienced it.


When I asked Mr Daly about it he said that the bit he drills is dead, so therefore shouldn't hurt. I've had root canal before with an anesthetic and it was actually more painful than with none. I reckon dentists get drill happy and get a bit carried away ::o

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
