The totally off-topic thread

He had to have a general anaesthetic as the teeth hadn’t really emerged. I think the surgeon cranked open his mouth and used a jackhammer.

I’ve got three hiding wisdom teeth. The one that did emerge is gone and which was removed very quickly using gas. I went back to work that day too.

I had 3 removed under GA. Had no pain or swelling after. Bounced out of the hospital feeling like I hadn’t even had a GA. Back at work the next day.

Quinton de Kock is not known for sledging yet is involved in an incident off the field with Warner. The Reverend or the Bull. Gilchrist is saying the Bull is more likely to have caused the incident.

Steven Smith thinks there is nothing wrong with his players hunting in packs. What a poor ambassador for the game. It used to mean something to be Australian captain but that is just handed out to anyone now. Oh how sweet it would have been for Markram and de Kock to win the game for South Africa. Couldn't have wished for a better send off for the Australian bullies.

Anyway enough said. QF WP summed it up nicely when he said there was only one team playing cricket in the First test and it wasn't the Australians.

WOW, I had all 4 removed at once under GA at Westmead Hospital. I looked like Wilbour the Worm - I had so much swelling. Think I had a week off work, but did not need all that time.
My soon to be husband, thinking he was doing the right thing by buying me a chocolate to make me feel better......
A scorched peanut bar..... I gummed that thing for hours.

I looked like I'd had a stroke....one side of my face was a lot less pretty than the other. Ended up taking extra time off work too, it was hideous.

Oh, really? You seem to be excusing the making of crude and provocative remarks about a player's wife. I think that telling.

But we have to stop people thinking that if someone insults them then it’s ok to resort to violence. It’s never ok to resort to violence.

And if you throw the insults out you are most likely going to get them thrown back at you. Unfortunately there is plenty of ammo here without any exaggeration so best keep the mouth firmly shut and do the job you are highly paid for.

So someone said to someone that his wife was a bush pig? Im not surprised that resulted in a bit of pushing and swearing, pretty disgusting thing to say and should not have been said.

The old days of sledging was witty and funny, these days it seems its just a bunch of brats name calling and insulting.

Not quite right. You’ve got wives mothers and daughters a bit mixed up Denali.

A fun read….I tend to think of the author as a bit of a wanker but this is entertaining ( perhaps it is envy about all those flash cars .. anyway )

Warner can go back to watching CARDOONS on his telly for a week or two.

It was the South Africans accusing Warner of using that term.

The bull is just a thug. He is at the centre of most incidents. He wants to be the leader of the pack of thugs. If the other players did not stop him it was the Root incident all over again.

It's not a good look. This has to stop now including naming a new vice captain.

So. Last year, when I booked reward flights to the UK with EY, we were still entitled to driver service under the old rules.

But.... da dahhhhh, EY changed my ticket 23.02.18 as we now arrive in AUH 10 later than original booking and they are using ticket change as an excuse to not provide driver service.

Edit. Now being told driver service confirmed via FB chat but no pick up time ect. Will see 48-24hrs before flight but prepare for the worse.

FaceTime lunches? Seriously? Can the current society get any lower?

Depends on when and where.

My husbands office daycare, the parents could log online (special access code) and watch the kids during the kids lunch time. I thought this was a good idea.

I think that’s a good use but catching up with friends who live local is a stretch too far. But for distance then it’s perfect. Except when they do it without an earpiece in the QP. . Or in a restaurant.

Kids or family would be ok.

But 2 friends preparing lunch in their own homes and using FaceTime at lunch is just silly.

You tell 'em! And your certainly seem to have very close insights there. You are acquainted, I gather?

And you want to stop them naming a new Vice Captain?

Spent ages updating our department website to make sure all new staff were listed. Someone has been "helpful" and completely undone all my work. Removed everyones titles, demoted lab heads down the list and somehow I've become the very last person to get a mention. So disappointed.
