Another forum I go on just reminded me
since I'm unemployed, I get free dentalcare and eye checks. AWESOME. I haven't been to either for around 2-5 years, so I've just made appointments for both.

I hate you.
I had to pay £120 for a new tooth last week.

That was last week.
This week it's all about accusing me of being Russian.
Get with the programme.

oh ok,
Ummm, it cost twice the price because the only painkillers you'd accept was 6 bottles of cheap vodka?

Does yours have a tiny robot in it,
That continually tells you how awesome you are though?

No?

I thought not.
( Cawl, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:15, Reply)

yes
it's the "robot in your tooth" that tells you those things
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:17, Reply)

Yep.
He's called "The Steel Avenger".
( Cawl, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:19, Reply)

That sounds like something a robot would name his penis

Tungsten. Doesn't rust, y' see.

But you have to work for it
I used to get that at the vets and at M&S, but they've now lapsed.
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:18, Reply)

I THINK I have to pay something towards treatment, but fillings and routine stuff like that are free
My appointment's not til July, so on the off chance that I find a job before that, I asked how much a check up would be...£16.40 GET IN.
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:17, Reply)

ugh I need an eye check and new glasses

( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:20, Reply)

I got the usual eye test voucher from work
because I use computers, so they paid for the ten quid it took to have my eyes tested. I had then to fork out the £120 for the new pair of glasses. However, it was money well spent as they make me look intelligent.
SHUT UP.

If I could take the piss I would.
But I can't really. My eyes are shit.
( Cawl, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:29, Reply)

Yea but at least you look intelligent even if you aren't

( Captain V, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:30, Reply)

For a Russian yeah

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:32, Reply)

Shut up,
Or you'll feel the wrath of my Nooclear wessels.
( Cawl, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:33, Reply)

True.
I feel shit today.
Three days of wearing a cowboy hat... And today, NOTHING. My head feels naked.
( Cawl, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:32, Reply)

Oh dear lord the cowboy hat
You're a very strange Russian.
( Captain V, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:37, Reply)

God-fuckin'-dammit,
I love that hat.

I forgot to mention that I fell asleep with it still on, on Friday night.
( Cawl, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:41, Reply)

I can't remember what I did on Friday night
Let alone what you were doing =/
( Captain V, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:43, Reply)

This was after I got
Those business cards from the drug dealers.
( Cawl, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:46, Reply)

Oh right
Still can't remember what you were doing but I do remember those cards!

*blank stare*
I have remembered what I was up to on Friday though.
( Captain V, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 15:02, Reply)

Should've gone to...somewhere else
My new glasses should arrive soon. They cost me £29 just like the last pair that I lost.
( Captain V, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:31, Reply)

yeah but those are top of the line Sarah Palin frameless glasses
pshaw
( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 14:32, Reply)

You think that's funny.
The style of glasses I currently wear are called Tinkerbell.

Aw,
bless.

Do they match your duvet cover and curtains?



(That's not a euphemism.)

Oh, christ
My dentist went completely private about 10 years back. Not seen one since.
Not had my eyes tested for about 15 years. They are now noticably worse (had excellent sight for years) so need to sort that too.

Anyone know of a NHS dentist in Portsmouth taking new patients? Or how I find a dentist taking patients at all?
( gareth_alien will be human again at, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 15:16, Reply)

I think you can go
to the NHS direct website and they will tell you if there is an NHS dentist taking new patients.
