Yup, sometimes an opportunity comes along you just have to grab. Might not be ideal, but...

I'm lucky, I know. Fingers crossed that, with a little luck, you'll be able to enjoy the little pleasures retirement brings sooner rather than later!

Even on Bluesky, autocorrect continues to take its toll!

It was actually fine. No pain, no nasty burning smell, no high-pitched whine of drills. Still not something to look forward to, but then again, not a thing to dread. Had this happened 50 years ago with the primitive tools & dental technology available then, it would have been a whole lot worse!

Retirement is taking a nap when you fancy one, then continuing to lie on the bed, basking in the warm autumnal sunshine just because you can.

James Cleverly says it is "weak, weak, weak" for the UK to return sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. The very same James Cleverly seems to have forgotten that he opened the negotiations in 2022 which led to this happening today.

this happened to me in comics a lot. I wonder about the guy who stopped me on a show floor to ask if I was a particular artist who doesn't even resemble me at all, I told him nah, and he asked "Are you sure?" What a life he must lead

Indeed! Fifty years ago, the mere idea of having to have two fillings would have had me worried sick. These dates with the current dental technology and tools, it's really nothing. Apart from the numb face!
