Talking of dentists: just had my itemised bill for work I need doing this year (bridge/crown/fillings/polish): £1750! I have private insurance come into effect September 1st and the dentist is billing me on the 2nd so I will be able to claim 80% of it back...

PS: Had my second acupuncture treatment today. Seeing benefits already. The Doc, Mr. Lam guarantees he will cure me (not just stop the pain). I'm open-minded and hopeful...

The entire crown came off. No pain though.

They can pin it for you if needed, titanium pin to hold the build together, but as I say, materials are much better now so probably won't need pinning...keep us posted, I'm very interested as to what they do.
Good luck Rook

They should be able to re build it for you. If it's just a cusp it will be easy, if it's a lot of the crown then still can be done. Have you any pain? Hopefully the nerve isn't exposed?

I spent 20 years in dentistry.....materials these days are superb, much better than when I was in dental

Aye you were using hand drills and hammer and chisel weren't you??

No. Just a room temperature Mars bar.

The tooth has snapped in half.

Ouch!

I was about to say were you in the dental industry
I used to get a check up & hygienist for £28 and now it’s over £100 as the hygienist is no longer NHS.
If you have anything major done god help you ££££

Dentists & GP's coining it in these days.

Will do.

Rory wins the Fed Ex cup from under Schefflers nose and 18 million $.
The third time he’s won. More than Woods.
But 18 million! Surely some of this money should be put back in to reduced tickets for the public. Same in all sport. We have to keep footing the bill. These top boys don’t exactly need the money after all

Does anyone know why the stadium tours have stopped?

[Kennyb41]

Sections dilapidated.

[Jaydog]

I am when I'm in the pub, unless it's Dorset summer holidays, when it's cider. Wine at home though.

Very wise.
I mix them in a cocktail when in Dorset. It’s called a Caskwiner. Bloody lethal. Keeps you warm in a tent though

I'm addicted to crunchy Peanut butter.

[AylingFlop]

I have it on toast nearly every day, with sriracha sauce.

Wow. Never thought of adding sriracha to pb - must give that a go. I interchange Whole Earth crunchy pb on toast with marmite on toast for my breccy washed down with a proper brew of regular Yorkshire tea.

[Jaydog]

As a kid I used to have toast, butter, marmite & PB combined.
That’s not Patrick Bamford btw.

[The Subhuman]

Toast, wholemeal peanut butter then honey ......

[lufc1304]

I like a PB/Marmite combo on my toast

[Byebyegeegee]

I like a PB/Marmite combo on my toast

A thin layer of marmite topped with a generous layer of peanut butter on toast, sloshed down with a nice cup of tea, is a fab combination for breakfast and sets me up for the day

Have you tried the Sriracha dried spice in a Shake and add little tin Sara? It's amazing. I shake it on everything. Egg mayo sarnies, salad, baked beans, pasta, you name it.....
