SPAM random annoying things

[Gwadien]

Just been to dentist for a second session in a course of treatment, needed because of previous useless dentists. I pay in instalments. Feeling very groggy said to the receptionist do I need to pay anything? She says Oh haven't we invoiced you? oh well I think you owe £6500! I nearly died. I was expecting about £900! I've paid her about double that but am now regretting it cos I'm sure they've got it wrong as when I get home and find the original quote it's way less. Aaaaargh. I'm back there again in 2 weeks by when they should have worked it out but feel slightly miffed to put it mildly. Think I've just paid in advance for work I haven't had done yet.

That on top of car needing new front brake pads and discs! There's no smiley for me shooting myself.

£6500 for some dentist work.

Holy fuck.

Noone is allowed to QQ about the NHS for the next 5 pages.

Isnt it a bit weird how shit the NHS dental coverage is though?

Its been privatised by attrition. I found it impossible to find an NHS dentist when I lived in London and had been private since the 90s. You can still find NHS dentists but even when you get one they'll try to push extra stuff on you via private.

I suppose in some respects it shows how the NHS would be if you started saying; 'if you smoke, pay for your services, if you're fat, pay for your services, if you don't brush your teeth, pay for your own services.'

 

[Raven]

Spoilt for choice round here.

London is a pit though.

You can have teeth problems and brush your teeth tho.

 

[Scouse]

Yep, but a lot less.

If you're still getting cavities / fillings etc. then your dental hygiene isn't good enough. Twice a day is recommended *minimum*. You need to use interdental brushes and should brush after each meal (but who does).

I had a large bill and now I brush in the morning (with interdental), when I get home and before I go to bed (with interdental again). No problems since.


Mouthwashes are a con btw - don't bother. The only ones that work are medicated (like cordosyl) and stain your teeth brown. The others are snake oil and make no difference whatsoever.

 

[Gwadien]

People may have a medical condition, hence why they're fat (it does exist)

People may have been smoking pre-awareness of smoking baaaad.

 

[soze]

There are plenty of people with heart conditions and diabetes despite not being unhealthy and over weight. And plenty of people with Lung Cancer who have never smoked. There is no catch all. The overweight hate at the moment is because they can't afford to go after smoking and drinking because they can't lose the tax. Something like 1/3 of all money spent by one of the ambulance services in the UK is spent dealing with drunken idiots. They will add tax to fast food and sugar filled drinks just in time for diet drinks to be banned because the sweeteners fuck you up even more. I hate all the sugar free crap but you can't buy Robinsons juice now which is not no added sugar stuff filled with sweeteners.

When you're doing a tech support live chat thing for an answer to a quick question about a product and you clearly know more about the product than whoever you're talking to.

It's tech support.. Facepalming your customers doesn't cut it!

Are you in America? No? Then its pavement. Fucking sidewalk...

Hah arrogant Brits(Tits). Pavement refer to a non specific 'road' that is paved with stone. He was most likely walking on the side of the road, thus, sidewalk, in conclusion, is a much more accurate word here.

"Suspicion of criminal damage". Says it all about the justice system in the UK. Lols.

You mean the justice system where he is innocent until proven otherwise?

You don't ever get arrested for a crime, you get arrested on suspicion of a crime, it is up to the justice system to decide if the person has carried out the crime, courts, judges etc. All the police do is gather evidence one way or the other. (In this case, clear camera footage)

I am pretty sure you will find that's the case in most civilised countries.

"lols"

Its a pavement, that is the English word for the bit that goes at the side of the road. Like dog is the English word for something that barks and looks a bit like a dog. I am sure your dying language also has none descriptive words for things too.

Full Definition of PAVEMENT
1
: a paved surface: as

a : the artificially covered surface of a public thoroughfare

b chiefly British : sidewalk
2
: the material with which something is paved
3
: something that suggests a pavement (as in flatness, hardness, and extent of surface)

In your defense you use 'Petrol' instead of the word 'Gas'.

But then there's the whole measurement system again, lets not go into that. Hah.

Hahahahah. "A little higher than a road". No, because it is a road! What is the word you use..hmm, daft?

You're the annoying little Brit kid i passed the other day walking on the 'road' with his parents, and i overhear him say in the most posh way possible to man: "You call this road?!? Hmpf, more like rubbish to me". What an absolute fuuucking prick.

Nah really not missing not being able to respond to a thread due to it being about fuck knows what. Haha.

 

[Raven]

Ok

 

[caLLous]

Well you seem to be becoming him, arguing with English people about the meanings of words in England. A pavement in England goes either side of a road. Lamp is English therefore he should've said pavement, not sidewalk. It's that simple. Nobody is arguing about what pavement means in other countries.

 

[fettoken]

I'm just satisfied with taking the piss out of Raven, but not really liking being compared to Toht here. That was over the line dude. In the 'slander' ballpark tbh.

 

[Scouse]

Yeah. The toht comparisons should only occur after a couple of pages of rotational rotisserie bullshit.

But pavement is indeed raised path at side of road.

 

[caLLous]

It was harsh, I take it back. Nobody needs that insult thrown at them before lunchtime.

 

[fettoken]

Thank you! Now, what for lunch..hmm

What the fuck are you talking about? Pavement is the British English synonym for Sidewalk. He's British in Britain so the "accurate" term is "Pavement". Or "Path". Sidewalk is an Americanism as relevant to the UK as "Hood" or "Trunk" on a car.

 

[Edmond]

There is currently a program on ITV called Flockstars, a celebrity reality show about herding sheep.

Seriously, is this prime time entertainment now?

(I say celebrity, but it's a ex singer from 90's pop group Eternal and Tony Blackburn)

I've only ever called it a path. Pavement to me is something the Romans built!
