I don't understand the fear of dentists at all. They don't bother me in the slightest, and nothing they do hurts.

Erm, you've never really been to a dentist then. I'd rather lose my teeth then ever, ever go back. Seriously. Drills for ****'s sake! They ****ing kill even through the anaesthetic!

God, do I hate dentists. Never had any drilling, thank Christ (I don't think I could handle someone drilling in my mouth. I'd be twitching so much they'd end up drilling through my cheek), but I've lost count of how many teeth I've had to have pulled. Four in one trip was the record, though.

just broke my third laptop in a year. once again with all my data on it. absolutely no way of saving it. just retrieved most of the data, but have had to throw the laptop to the scrapheap. only two months left of study. bollox. it always seems to happen at critical times aswell - what gives with that?

Yes, I have! I'm not that primitive! I really don't see what the fuss is: how bad can a glorified Hoover, a dental explorer, a probe, a mirror and a water-pick be?

Infairness anyone who manges to the scale up the side of my house probably deserves a complete amnesty when it comes to being a peeking tom, and I used to wonder about it kinda, in a sorta that would be utterly pointless way and such alot of effort when you can just go into a shop buy a magazine and in doing so save yourself alot of stress, pain and embarrassment, and probably get more fulfilling results.


Fulfilling may be the wrong choice of word.

I do, but no amount of looking after your teeth will let you grow back half an incisor after falling face-first into a gate (not my proudest moment)..

Edwardius

Or from lifting up a bastard pint with said incisors. Enamel crackin' on glass is a delightful sound. Think they're usin it on the Ay-rabs out east. "really Ed?". "No." Man, it's great to live in Ireland, no angry skullcaps or indeed tea towels to spoil the fun. Well the ones that are here seem well behaved. Huzzah. Think they realised they're all wrong before their foreign "brethern" did and are all humble pieish about it and don't say anything.

Ian/crash, how the hell does one set up mIRC? it keeps giving me stupid errors such as:

* Connect retry #1 irc.quakenet.org#tcd.ie (6667)
-
Local host: <my college username>.college.tcd.ie (194.46.136.154)
-
* Unable to resolve server

Crash

you're behind the college firewall. its gonna be a pain in the hole to connect

Pet

I'm actually not though, I'm connecting from home..I'm just logged into windows XP as <college username>/ronan. Or something.


Hmm. Now I feel like a techno-retard, which is unusual and not particularly fun..

That's not dentistry, that's glorified teeth brushing. Until you've gotten a drilling or a tooth pulled at the very least you've never experienced dentistry.

And for the record I do look after my teeth.

thats a silly statement, vast majority of my dental visits have had nothing to do with looking after my teeth.......

4 wisdom teeth needing remoing because they were at odd angles is hardly due to bad brushing no?

pet in the 'status window' thingy that should be open there try just doing /connect irc.quakenet.org
when that connects it will probally pop up with a channel thing where you can put in #tcd.ie , otherwise just type /join #tcd.ie

I was asleep - thought he was out in halls - had talked of moving out there :P

I had a filling too. I've never had need to have a tooth pulled.

Do any other medical-like professions scare you or get to you?

John

Nope, just dentistry. I don't mind injections or anything like that but dentistry (after a childhood of dental problems) really chills my blood.

That didn't work either, does the college antivirus software block IRC?

Nietzschean

unlikely, it could be windows firewall though

John

I reckon it's Kev

Crash

uuuuuugh windows firewall.

or maybe it's Joe...

John

So Dec, how's the head this morning?

ApeXaviour

Not that bad though everything is spinning. And I have bloody sand in my ear though for good reason. Built a sand castle yesterday like.



bloody kids though are on it then like flies on shlt. Oh and an invading army

John

I hate the beach but love sand castles. Life is tough sometimes.
