I'm off to the dentist today too. Getting my teeth cleaned. I get to go back tomorrow for root canal. Oh joy.

don't I can't tell you the last time I went! reading this is worse than recieving a reminder from the dentist

Have a nice holiday and maybe I'll see you at the meetup

Uwila · 08/08/2006 16:22

Oi, I work in Brentford on the edge of Gunnersbury park. We could do lunch in Chiswick.

quokka · 08/08/2006 16:32

I like the oi (very australian). You guys are so friendly!

Uwila · 08/08/2006 16:34

Australian? And I thought it was more Chicagoan.

Uwila · 08/08/2006 16:34

So what the heck does "Quokka" mean?

CountessDracula · 08/08/2006 16:35

I didn't know oi was australian
I am half australian and I always say oi

quokka · 08/08/2006 16:37

it's a widely used word in oz, I'm sure its even in the dictionary

Uwila · 08/08/2006 16:44

Well, CD we can chalk it up as something we have in common then. But, I'm definately not Australian. I've only been there once.

quokka · 08/08/2006 17:04

A Quokka is an animal only found on the west coast of oz (where I'm from). It's like a small wallaby or kangaroo. Very cute and quite tame - like me at times

suejonez · 08/08/2006 17:27

CD if you are half australian shouldn't you say "o"?

suejonez · 08/08/2006 17:29

And bad dentist appt today - root canal needed and possibly another wisdom tooth may need to come out which the dentist won't touch as its so close to the nerve

And Uwila - only going private because there are no sodding NHS dentists within a spitting distant of here.

quokka · 08/08/2006 17:52

sj sorry to hear about the dentist . I had a student take 2 of my wisdom teeth out when I was young and poor in oz and he acidently dropped one down my throat, but as they had to tie me down to the chair (I kept moving) I nearly choked on it! I am happy to say that I go private now!

quokka hadn't seen your last post... bl**dy 'ell... whata lovely dentist experience! I don't trust NHS dentists at all. I'd rather get poor paying my private dentist, who I can highly recommend - not my type but very nice indeed
