to be on the verge of going Peig Sayers on it and making a poultice for me tooth?

[Doodadoo]

I am going a little bit insane with what appears to be a toothache. I have escaped the legendary pain of a toothache until 5 days ago, though I have heard it described in the worst possible terms throughout my life. I thought with sympathy of those who described the pain, as it appears to render the sufferer capable of poetic and graphic levels of imagery which terrified me in their descriptions. There was something about the brilliance of description which suggested that a toothache produced a pain worthy of note; an inspirational level of pain.

I'm now at the point of going Peig Sayers on it with leeches, or of attempting to fashion a poultice at the very least. Failing that, was it Robinson Crusoe who was marooned on an island or something who resorted to twine and a door to pull a tooth? If I knew which tooth was the culprit, I'd knock myself out trying that method too at this point. Nothing has been ruled out.

Fuck!!!!!!!! This pain is horrendous! What's worse is that I know that I have codeine here somewhere but can I fuck find it!

Crossposted with you, that particular stuff in the picture is rank so OP would be doing me a favour getting it used up.

She would only be thrilled to have a toothache, a wan only mad for complaining and wailing. You need to go outside and sit on a rock in the wind and rain to get the full effect.

Did I miss something? Is the next Bond Girl Irish?

They're strange grammatical rules.

Tuiseal ginneadeach is a thing which changes the normal spelling of a noun to a different spelling when it's possessed (a bit like myself with a toothache).

Instead of saying the horse's mouth, in Irish we'd say the hoirse's mouth. Yes, it's that complicated and that simple.

Modh conialach? Is that the conditional tense?

She was well able to talk about her toothache though!

I could be posting from it now Jane Jeffer🤫😇

Modh conialach? Is that the conditional tense?
It could be (see what I did there?)

I specifically recall leeches. Or limpets. Some creatures who sucked on your blood? They were like snails who sucked blood out? Christ almighty. What were we forced to read!?

It is the way I make sadly. Barrys or Lyons, Nambarrie or Punjana, it all inexplicably turns out like dishwater or stewed with no in between. I'm a philistine and a disgrace <hangs head in shame>

Ya need a taepot.

And a tea-cosy if ya like strong tae!

My Nanna used to knit tea-cosies. I actually don't know how to spell that but autocorrect hasn't underlined tea cosy. It's like a knitted thing which you fit over the pot of tea to keep it warm.

I'm an actual person who likes Peig. I want to read Peig again. I'll order the leabhair (the booke) online. I'll have to get a dictionary as well. I quite like prose dun Meanteistamarach - no clue how to spell that word. I'll have to check it out. One story I liked was about an adored only son who went out to get some 'messages' and tripped over a chicken who died which threw the family into penury.

In one version everyone mourned the son so badly. In another version he ruined their lives and he had to leave the family.

I might have got that all wrong. I'm living with chronic menopause sweats, freezing cold and memory loss, anything could happen.

I won't attempt to try to spell the tuisaal ginedach, I have no clue.

Reading this back also reminds me of The Last Policeman. I'll give the book a lash

Also a blow in the 70s , so didn't have to do Irish. Yay ! But found out that I couldn't get a job in a number of official places. Not Electricity Board , Post Office , any government office Z, schools , libraries..
Maybe should have put up with Peigs miserable , constant whinging about her life with everybody dead .
Re : toothache. Horrible for you. Have you tried flat 7 UP or Sudecreme ? I

My granny used to knit them as well, and I found a couple of them a few months ago in what you would call the press, but sadly the moths had been at them and they fell to bits in my hands. She taught me to knit but I was never much good, so am doomed to shit tea forever.

Perhaps when I get as far the the Ard Rang,I will be able to sit on a rock in the wind and rain and lament poetically about the shitness of my teamaking skills.

I remember now the family threw the boy out of the house because of the disgrace. I don't think they all lived happily ever after

Always have a packet of neurofen plus on ya.They work a treat on toothache. I once spent a very long night with a cold can of 7up on my cheek!

"One story I liked was about an adored only son who went out to get some 'messages' and tripped over a chicken who died which threw the family into penury."

Shitting hell she really was a mumsnetter. She was doing troll threads half a century before the internet was even invented. Legend.

Then, and only then, will you be Irish.

😂

The whiskey has worked. I'm like a live wire though as I drank it with coke!

I'll be awake all night.

God help us.......
