Well one thing you can be sure of:  I'm glad I never made any rash promises about posting every day in 2010.  It's probably just as well really or none of us would ever get round to reading them all, never mind commenting.


Yesterday I went to the dentist for my 6-monthly check up.  You have to do that... have to go...in order to keep your NHS dental registration up to date.   If you don't you'll be cast adrift, set aside, sidelined.  No messing about, no second chances, that - is - it,  make your own way!  Dentists who will take on National Health Service patients are like gold dust and your average man-in-the-street can't afford private treatment.  So if you're not registered and you get a toothache........prepare to suffer.  

Keith keeps up his registration too even though he has not a tooth in his head because they check your mouth for signs of anything nasty, like cancer, that you might not notice.  He goes annually but even so............he does sometimes wonder whether he, the Toothless One, is taking up a space that somebody with teeth might need.


£16.50 it costs and that covers the check-up and a scale and polish - even if you're toothless!  Keith still has to pay £16.50 even though he has no tussie pegs to scrub up.  He just drops his in a bath of Steradent every night and Bob's your uncle!


Not very fair, is it?


Different topic now.  Hair.   My whole life I have lived with hair that is a permanent mess:  "have you combed your hair today?",  "isn't it time you had that lot cut off?".  Lately A Truth has dawned on me:  I got the wrong head, a bloke was meant to have it.  I know chaps who spend HOURS in front of a mirror trying to get hair like mine.  They wax it and wet it and gel it and spray it, all to get it to look as if they just got out of bed.  My question is this:  Does any guy out there want to swap.  My hair is in a perfect bed-head the very second I get up and it stays like it all day without any chemical assistance.  An organic bed head you might say.  You can squirt it with water, stick a hat on it......comb it all you like.........hang it out the window in a force 9 gale.  It'll be perfect.  You too could have hair that looks as if it's been cut with blunt scissors while your finger's stuck in an electric socket.


See you soon
