Fillings are may real fear. I'm always waiting in a cold sweat sure the drill will hit something that's not numbedOriginally Posted by DazTheSlug
I'm feeling a bit better now the antibiotics have kicked in
I got an emergency dental appointment Monday lunchtime - on first view of the inside of my mouth, the dentist said to her assistant (let's call her Gina):
"Gina... scalpel!"Much rather have a tooth out
A friend of mine reckons mercury from fillings can get into your system and and play havoc with your health. He wants his replaced with mercury free fillings. I'm not sure about this at all.
I wouldn't worry. A friend of mine says the biggest trial made found absolutely no health differences between those given mercury fillings and those given fillings made with a "safe" substance. My friend, who incidentally works for "The Mercury Filling Company Inc"*, says that these stories started because some Scandinavian countries had banned amalgam fillings. True they had, but only because they believed that the waste products involved in the production were harmful to the environment not the patient.
*Only joking, he's a biochemist at a university
In which case, many thanks. IOU £4.50.
I didn't think there was much in the story about fillings, he also gets headaches when near radio masts and thinks the sulphates in bacon are deadly.
They are if you eat enough, you become a bloater and eventually die of obesity related problems.

right - in a post-amoxycillin glow, I can now reflect on last Sunday's shenanigans, and would just like to publicly register my thanks to Marcel for putting up with my comparatively slow plodding
I say comparatively, meaning compared to him, but I have just worked out that my desperate attempts to keep up with Marcel caused me to register my second-fastest pace EVER on a fell race (beaten only on a much shorter/less extreme course)
Roll On the next relay!

Well done mate and thanks for the organising, i will buy you a pint when the opportunity arises
I admit, I can do a bit of a "sprint finish" - but I usually get told off for not having tried hard enough in the rest of the raceMarcel's words, as he came in behind you, were: "I thought you said Daz was slow"
