So am getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth out tomorrow.
Any advice on foodstuffs for afters? I'm not allowed to eat for 12 hours before hand. Or any other tips in general.

Alternatively - if you could pick your eye colour - what colour would it be?

Never play cards with a man with the same first name as a city.
Never sleep with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.

Bonus points if anyone can name the film.

Never get less than 8 hours of sleep per night.

my brain obviously dismissed that part as nonsense. The tips that Al can out with are perfectly sensible. whereas the 8 hours sleep one is bollocks.

I don't envy you in the slightest! I'd eat loads of ice cream, probably mint choc chip, that I'd mashed up with a spoon so that it's nice a slushy. Of course that wont sustain you for very long.

Why are you having them out anyway?

How was Wales?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 10:54, Reply)

They're OK
I read them years ago when I was playing DnD a lot. If you want a good set of books to read try The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever Book 1 - Lord Foul's Bane, Book 2 - The Illearth War, Book 3 - The Power that Preserves.

I found these to be far better.

(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 6 Jul 2009, 11:03, Reply)

I find thomas covenant too much of a whingy cunt
I prefer Donaldson's sci fi stuff, the Gap Series. Pretty dark though, especially the first one.

for fantasy I would recommend Robin Hobb's Farseer stuff, Tad Hamilton's stuff is pretty good. and you can't go wrong with Anne McCaffrey's dragonriders stuff for something a bit different.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 11:03, Reply)

The Gap series is fantastic
Some of the best books I've read, very dark, and sometimes a bit unsettling. I do agree the Covenant is a whingy cunt though. Never read any Hobb's stuff, and I've never got into Hamilton or McCaffrey.
(Herr Doktor Lemminge Is bored, so cheer me up!, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 11:13, Reply)

Hamilton is slightly far-fetched
the hero is a ginger.

the Robin Hobb stuff is very good though. unfortunately I've lent 2 (or 4) of them to someone and have no idea who. pissed me right off.
