So what have you done today..?

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by figaro, Mar 17, 2012.

  1. I had a Microsoft Teams meeting with my solicitor/trustee and that prompted me to log into my Cater Allen account to check that I still could - on a new computer and having not done so for ages. Got in eventually and there is over half a million in there, so that's fine. I will have to put in some requests soon, as we agreed for me to withdraw £5000 and there will be a legal bill to pay, when it comes.

    If I stick to under £4000, I could easily get something else, like maybe a new Beeza!

    But, of much greater importance, I made the mistake of ordering Tanqueray from Amazon. They have been trying to deliver it for days, but unlike normal deliveries where stuff is left in my summerhouse,, they want to check that I am over 18. I think that Amazon are wrong about this. You have to be over eighteen to buy it, but not physically receive it. If I buy booze at the supermarket, nobody runs out to my car in order to check that I put it in my car and not give it to a kid. Nobody follows me home to check that there are no kids waiting for the booze and nor do they stick around for days until I open the bottle! You have to over eighteen to buy, but after that, it is nobody else's business. I will never buy booze from Amazon again. I was only in because I had to be in for this Teams call, otherwise I'd be out, like I was for the last two deliver attempts. It is good stuff, but I will bever buy it again from Amazon!

  2. Bought my rail ticket to Plymouth. And it was unexpectedly cheap!

    Journey: 1 Cam & Dursley to Plymouth @ £66.50
    Off-Peak Return £66.50 (1 @ £66.50)
    With 1 Senior Railcard railcard(s)
    Remember to bring the railcard(s) for the journey

    If I was to drive there, I reckon the fuel could cost more!

    Changed the battery on my G Shock. Cost, 35p and 3.5 minutes of my time, compared to £59 and 4 weeks if I’d entrusted it to those chiseling cunts on the High Street. :D

  4. Sat in the dentist's chair for 45 minutes whilst he removed an old filling from a broken tooth and then reconstructed the tooth with a modern composite, built up in layers with a bonding medium between each layer. Just got to wait and see if it lasts or I have to have a crown. Replacing the second of 2 cracked fillings and replacing a botched filling by a previous dentist, to go in a fortnight. Andy

  13. Dentist for me too.
    Never had a filling in 52 years , and only ever had one tooth out 22 years ago .
    Bit of tooth ache the other day turns out a molar had cracked. The dentist didn't really want to pull it out as it was a good healthy tooth until the crack .
    What a horrendous experience having 95% of a strong healthy tooth removed . I swear he was almost standing on my chest with the pliers in place pulling for all his worth.
    I feel awful now fours hours later , had a small yoghurt and half a glass of water . Fingers crossed for a few hours sleep tonight.
     
  14. I feel for you. Had to have a perfectly sound tooth removed many years ago because it was being pushed out through the roof of my mouth. On a lighter note, I’ve got fillings older than you :joy: Andy

  15. I once had a molar removed. Needed the nurse to hold my head while I held my jaw with the dentist pushing down om my chest. What a palaver
     
  16. Do it yourselves, ya big Jessies!
