Wot a tangled web they wove.
After watching it I immediately wished I had forked out the £75 to go and see them at the NIA after all (they were playing there the night I watched the documentary). I shall have to make do by adding The Dance to my Christmas list instead.Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?Comment

I've come back from the dentist. I wasn't quite shaking and sobbing, but not far off. What a wuss, eh?
Anyone who wants to know why I'm so afraid of dentists is welcome to hear the stories, if desired. But I cannot commit myself to writing them down: too unpleasant.
In short:
- when a baby, was hurt by a bad dentist dealing with an abscess. My Mum would never elaborate but she always said that with hindsight maybe she should have either sued him or had him struck off. I know no more than that and never asked.
- when small, sitting in the waiting room listening to the drill in the room above, followed by the screams; then seeing blood on previous patients as they left sobbing.
- when a teenager, having the needle jabbed into a bundle of nerves in the back of my throat. I thought my spine had been torn out of the top of my head.
- when in my 20s, I got conned by a dentist in Oxford Street. He had me keep going back and in the end I paid over £1,200 for a crown. He intentionally created a hole in a good tooth and took the enamel off the top of two others. All work creation for the future. He fled the country before the 7th appointment. I'm not sure he was a real dentist. I was too ashamed of having been conned to report him.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
