My shopping arrived late today, meaning my whole afternoon schedule was thrown out of whack. 
Eventually I made it down to the taxi for the dentist. 
He told me that I needed to have two potentially painful root canal jobs done before I could get the teeth capped. 
I took a bit of a brainstorm and, if I was going through the pain I might as well end up with something to show for it, I asked him how much to get two stainless steel caps fitted... 
So, I've tentatively signed up for around £820-worth of private dental treatment. 
Other than that I have little to report. The dentist was closed from 1pm to 2pm, but it didn't mention that on the reminder. I turned up 15 minutes early so I could have a sit-down in the waiting room before my appointment, but instead was bent double sitting on the lower of a double railing outside the door till 2pm. 
When I got home I sank into the comfy chair and snoozed while listening to the radio. 
I watched "Educating Joey Essex: Space Camp" and "Chicago PD". 
As soon as I've posted this I'm going to settle down with a large vodka'n'lime 
and watch the last two episodes ever of "Andromeda".

Root canal isn't painful if it's properly done. I've had it twice in my life and it's disconcerting more than painful.
The tooth I had the root canal done on, had an abscess undeneath it, which was incredibly painful so that I was necking aspiring which made me fart like the Queen Mother after a night on the port & lemon. So he gave me plenty of Novococaine and I felt nothing. The second job was on the same tooth and that was even better, a better dentist.
I've recently had that tooth pulled though, along with another one which had a massive hole in it.
Don't believe any of the scare stories about root canal. If your dentist is competent you won't feel a thing.

It was my dentist who said that, given the positions of these particular roots, there could be some significant pain for a couple of days after the novocaine wore off.

Sorry, I haven't seen your ML post yet. Too tired to dig for it at the moment, and I have to be out early tomorrow morning. If I haven't responded by tomorrow night, "nudge" me again.

It's OK, I've changed the theme of the desktop and now I can see it again.
The bummer is, when I wiped this machine, I lost my FTP password and now I can't remember it!

It's OK, I merely created a new one. Phew! Not nice when you can't FTP up to your own webspace.
