I do know what you mean about music at the dentist's - I don't mind if it's a routine checkup or something but with anything else I really don't want to have to hear the likes of Rihanna, whose nasally warblings already set my teeth on edge, making my painany worse...Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-91460171948956928992014-10-08T19:26:51.560+01:002014-10-08T19:26:51.560+01:00Nice post.

I always find music playing while I'm in the dentist's chair really disconcerting- as if it wasn't enough someone was in there doing stuff, they have something shit playing on the radio or (rarely) something good I now associate with painSwiss Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13119322217065850020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-32430738310694366642014-10-07T21:07:29.965+01:002014-10-07T21:07:29.965+01:00I bet you've done that once or twice too, eh.....I bet you've done that once or twice too, eh....?Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-50594773721385236512014-10-07T13:40:06.681+01:002014-10-07T13:40:06.681+01:00Flirting to achieve ones goals...Mmmmm!Flirting to achieve ones goals...Mmmmm!Old Pa's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367815328789444775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-42997549532706081762014-10-05T11:38:07.735+01:002014-10-05T11:38:07.735+01:00Brilliant!Brilliant!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-80286257051120623072014-10-05T11:37:25.014+01:002014-10-05T11:37:25.014+01:00Oh no, bad enough having to endure the Christmas s...Oh no, bad enough having to endure the Christmas songs on constant repeat when they're the real thing, let alone crappy covers.

I remember once, I had a bit of a cold and was helping myself to some lunch, so I reached out to dish some coleslaw onto my plate and a tissue that I'd been using fell from my pocket into the food; I was mortified. Enough to put anyone off using those buffet type things.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-86007561858567977812014-10-04T23:13:32.274+01:002014-10-04T23:13:32.274+01:00Singing Bear - that's hilarious!Singing Bear - that's hilarious!The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-20440957443080846142014-10-04T18:59:31.895+01:002014-10-04T18:59:31.895+01:00Wandering around Morrison's yesterday my ears ...Wandering around Morrison's yesterday my ears were invaded by something truly horrible.

I used to have to endure much the same kind of infernal pollution of the lugholes all day, everyday in the coffee shop where I worked. This time of year was the worst. At the beginning of October the first instore Christmas CD arrived - crappy covers of Shakin' Stevens, Greg Lake and Slade seasonal songs interspersed with carols. And the customers wondered why staff festive cheer was thin on the ground come December 24th!<br />I'm glad I haven't heard B&Q's version of 'Rock the Casbah' - a man can only be pushed so far.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-31162491049835050852014-10-03T12:55:36.752+01:002014-10-03T12:55:36.752+01:00Bear - It really is criminal what they get away wi...Bear - It really is criminal what they get away with.<br /><br />C - I cannot see a chocolate fountain without thinking of Golden Corral.
