United Kingdom chat thread V4: lamb rogan josh, £3 meal deals, and brexit - General

Going to try and book a doctors appointment in the morning lads, there's a large 4-5cm, kinda stiff tumour in my leg (been there for years) that's getting more noticeable Fuckin RIP me.

I was never taught decent dental hygiene growing up, when I was 12 I had 2 of my lower molars break in half. I remember showing my mother after getting home from school and she said that as long as there is no pain, there's no reason to see the dentist, and this is what basically stuck with me, sometime in 2014 one of my upper molars cracked, it was painless at first, but by the end of 2015 it had broken to the root and those other 2 molars had become heavily decayed. I was scared of the dentist and what they may say so I held off and just put up with the pain until april of 2017 when it got infected, for those of you who have never had a dental infection before, it is one of the most severe pains you can endure, it's piercing, sharp and frankly it breaks you down to a point of questioning your ability to go on living. It was at this point that I decided to go to the dentist and have it pulled, and the dentist was so kind, pulled the tooth and gave me a 10 minute re-education on proper dental hygiene which I've put into practice since. I had to go back around August because of severe pain in the back of my mouth which turned out to be my lower wisdom teeth (which I never knew I had, until an x-ray found they were underneath my gums, extremely broken down, and sitting inside my dental nerve) so the dentist got me a refferal to a maxillofacial surgeon to remove them (apparently dentists won't dare go near wisdom teeth if they're sitting in/near a nerve) It took a while to get the surgery but I finally had it yesteday to have the left wisdom tooth and major cavity removed (they remove one side at a time so it's not so taxing for your body to heal, but also so you don't struggle to avoid the wounded areas whilst eating or drinking), and honestly it was a positive experience, I was operated on by an apprentice oral surgeon and she was one of the most confident and reassuring medical personnel I've ever seen, I told her about my fear of dentists and about my lack of dental hygiene growing up and she told me she's seen far worse, and there's too many factors involved (dental hygiene, genetics, food type and quality consumption) for them to really judge a person, plus you (or the NHS) are paying them to help you, not to criticise you. I have to say that I agree with her, especially on dental genetics, pretty much all of my family have teeth that are falling apart. Yet I have a friend who basically never partakes in dental hygiene, and consumes high amounts of Coca Cola and sugary snacks and has yet to have a tooth break or show signs of decay.

If you phone the NHS helpline (Is it 111?) they can refer you to an emergency dentist so long that you're in so much pain that it's disturbing your sleep, or if you're freely bleeding from the mouth. I was in the same dilemma, taking pain killers for actual months whilst I was in training in London. I ended up getting booked into a really great emergency dentist who gave me one of the best fillings I've ever had. He was a private dentist but they get paid by the NHS to do emergency bookings.

Have you actually had it looked at before? Bearing in mind there are millions of different kinds of growths and things that can appear and grow on people's bodies but the vast majority of them are harmless. I don't know much about it but you'd expect something that had been there for years and is noticeable getting bigger would have caused other issues by now if it was something particularly bad, and at least if it was something that they recommended you get removed it wouldn't be too invasive a procedure

Thankfully I'm not in a single lick of pain (unless I brush too hard but that happens with every inch of my gum), although unfortunately that also means I can't get seen sooner. The tooth itself is already fucked, definitely, absolutely dead, it's just a matter of getting it yanked.

I used to only brush once a day and I never had problems no matter how much sugar or whatever I had. Only problem I've had is chipping one of my molars when I was 20. They put in a filling that's been sensitive ever since, don't think they did it right tbh. But it's only noticeable with really cold drinks. Had no cavities or anything other than that, while the rest of my family have had multiple fillings.

On the subject of dumb medical shit, I think I've broken my toe playing with my dog, ran into a chair barefoot

Nerrrrrrrrts, you made it.

Fuck me lads, Tokyo is foggier and wetter than even the most average day at Southend on Sea.

I'm guessing your travel arrangements got sorted?

Sisters been a right twat. I've got some ceremony coming up on Monday that I without a doubt want my girlfriend to go to, I can take two people. My sister thought that because she was getting an award on the same day, she insisted to put my girlfriend on her guest list, while I invite my grandparents, who I also really want to come. So win-win. Fair enough from there, I invite my grandparents who are absolutely ecstatic to be invited, but then it turns out my sister fucked her dates up, despite I told her to triple check, so now I can't get my girlfriend to the event. There's absolutely no way I can say to one of my grandparents to let my gf take their place, because that's plain cruel. But now I'm stuck in a shit situation that's been suddenly been sprung on me. I really want the grandparents there, but not having my girlfriend to be there is fucking shit.

lol that article was bullshit No shit they're replacing analogue clocks in exam rooms, digital ones are quicker to read at a glance and can provide something more useful - a countdown - rather than just the time.

It takes the same amount of time for me to read a digital clock as an analogue one tbh

Bestow the bongs upon us right honourable gentleman

Hi Prince Louis. That's 2/3 kids with French names. Where's Prince Kevin?

In this situation it's probably best to let your grandparents come. It really sucks but you've gotta choose and if they're really excited I couldn't bear to let them down. Maybe get lots of pictures and videos to show your girlfriend later, but I'm sure she'd understand.

How about prince albert

Since we talked about teeth etc the other day. Was on my way home from work and my filling fell out. Ordered some of that emergency filling stuff from Amazon as I have no idea how long it'll be before I can get an appointment. They're not open on Weekends either.

My filling fell out and it took years before it started becoming painful etc so i wouldnt worry about it too much if it isn't painful and as long as you can get an appointment in sometime. Some dental cement is probably a good shout though, never really thought about that, would make sure you clean it out good and proper before sealing it up though.

My only concern is getting food stuck in there by accident, and just the general feeling of my tongue catching on the massive hole. Theres no pain so far when drinking water etc. Haven't eaten yet.

Had a right odd one today. Was walking out of a car park with my friends today and turned around to look behind us and came face to face with Matt Lucas. We weren't sure it was him, but didn't want to pester him because it must be a right pain being famous and having cunts come up to you. Luckily we saw him go into the local theatre and was able to confirm my suspicions later by doing some twitter research.

It's going to be 5° on monday? Fuck off, fuck off, fuck right off with that cold bollocks. I just want to go outside without being one wind blast away from looking like Jack Torrence at the end of The Shining.

Earliest I can get an appointment at the dentist is the 9th of May. 😩 Who knows, maybe by then it'd have get infected and i can have an emergency filling.

i had been worried about the chuckle brothers, aside from a few lines in an episode of Benidorm ive only seen them do nightclub appearances, it had been like they hit on hard times and were taking any gig they can get

So I was parked up in a quiet housing estate this afternoon waiting to meet my sister. I had the windows open and was blasting out ACDC; Whole Lotta Rosie. This old couple walked past, both staring at me. The woman was pulling this face similar to Mrs Tweedy when the chickens are escaping, whilst her husband was behind her banging his head and grinning. Just about made my day.
