The one with whatever

Feckin' hell. I cant remember the last time I didnt update the blog in so long.

If you search through the archives you'll find a tale of a popcorn kernel smashing out part of my tooth, its roughly nearly a year ago. For the last year its been annoying the hell outta me and as usual I couldnt be bothered to do anything about it. So last Saturday I woke up with the thing pounding away like a 800 pound gorilla. Ger booked me into her dentist and I arrived in there on Tuesday morning. Numerous doses of anesthetic and I was due for an extraction. So, lovely dentist has a yank at the tooth and the pain is immense. "You felt that?" she said. So more does of anesthetic and she has another go. This time, less pain but she cant get a proper grip on the tooth so, much to my delight she tells me she has to cut the roots out, pop it and then pull it. It was at about this time I thought to myself why did I bother. So drill in hand she proceeded to cut the roots and then got something that looked like a fancy screwdriver, called an elevator. Using all her weight she eventually popped and pulled 3 pieces of tooth and the ordeal was over. In fairness she done a brilliant job and Im waiting for it to heal properly. Now, if truth be told, the tooth would more than likely still be there if I wasnt going to the big apple next month. Im a ghoul when it comes to these things, an absolute langer. Im not afraid of dentists or anything, but its just I cant be bothered. And its thanks to this frame of mind that I have about another 5 extractions and a root canal to be done. Lucky me. Who says Ill go back :)

Theres lots of things happening in Red that I cant say much about really, except you really would want to tuning in from Monday morning! I may give a clue at the end of the show on Sunday night! Actually I will give out a clue then!
