It's ALL MONTH this year!
It's ALL MONTH this year!
Are they officially declaring WAR on Sober October?
"Why are you even worried about meI would quote some lyrics from the Lincolnshire Tartvision entry but I've forgotten how it goes already
Not the best business model though offering their love for free. Someone should invest in some business schools for the Lincolnshire community."Why are you even worried about me
Do you want my love for free"
An ode to the bustling Lincolnshire sex worker community.
Quite frankly Sober October can do one this year
I took the lyrics to be her berating him for expecting a freebie when they'd already agreed a tenner.Not the best business model though offering their love for free. Someone should invest in some business schools for the Lincolnshire community.
Are we talking about the light or the tone of conversation here?
This year? EVERY YEAR!
Seriously, fuck being sober for a month. Either drink or don't, just get on with it.
Is @Tisch going to have a sober hour this year?I think I randomly did sober September last year, after a very heavy summer. I didn't really feel any better or worse after it but it did make me drink less in October and November just because I got a bit more used to having soft drinks. Didn't last beyond that though
Andy Zaltzman's suggestion was rather ace: GRAPRIL ( as in "grape-ril") - you drink wine every day for the whole month.
Ooh interesting. How long were you in there for? I've had the nerve removed and a temp filling in it which was done when I was on holiday in March. That bit was all ok.Root canals are fine. I fell asleep in the chair once whilst having one done.
OuchLast year I had a wisdom tooth extraction where they had to remove part of my jaw bone because they couldn't get to the tooth, followed by a root canal. That wasn't a good day for Iguana



Yeah sorry I'm sure yours will be fineOuch![]()
It would have been fine if I'd just had the root canal!Oh it’s getting dark early isn’t it?
is it ever not getting dark early in Japan?
Ok thanksYeah sorry I'm sure yours will be fineIt would have been fine if I'd just had the root canal!

It's only costing me £22 luckily. Perks of being friends with the dentist. But I'm pleased to hear it doesn't sound too awful.I've had root canal done a couple of times and found that the impact on the wallet is a lot more painful than the process itself.
Dentists are paid so well. My dentist friend is on £80k and her husband (also a dentist) is on even more. And that's on the island where pay is usually low.One of my best friends in secondary school spent ages thinking he wanted to become a dentist. Eventually he went on to become a primary school teacher. How I now wish he never had that change of heart
