I also think that all these threads which end in a punfest should be amalgamated and then deposited somewhere safe.

Excellent work, I can see this being used as a template for future dental threads. i don't know how much more I can take, I'm beginning to go numb. I try to keep my mind wide open to new ideas but this thread need an injection of tougher material. It has lost a bit of bite.

I feel we are really getting to the root of the problem now, I was beginning to think things were starting to go rotten. This is turning into an amalgam of obtuse dental refernces and it is getting more and more difficult to swallow. Do you think you will be able to extract many more without too much pain?

I claim first use (by default) of "amalgam" and "pull/extract" since you were no doubt composing your post at the same time as me.

But I also need to apologise for my use of "filling" at 10.49 when you had in fact claimed this pun at 9.25.

There are bound to be more puns coming - brace yourselves!

I beg to differ. Amalgam is not the same as amalgamated, extract is not the same pull. But I like composing. Anyway the last thing we should do is fall out, there should be no bad blood between us. Your argument is toothless but I'm going to bite my tounge, bud.

BTW my 3 was intended for MoM. Unfortunately I left a gap.

Outstanding, Porty, outstanding.

I've not composed my response yet - my works in progress involve "thrush", "spit" and "swallow" so perhaps an avian theme.

You'll have to wait for those puns though, there's quite a long waiting list.

Will I finish off with a polish?

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 07 Feb 2006, 14:24

Yes, that should do til next time. Make an appt for six months on your way out and don't forget, twice a day for at least two minutes at a time.

Apologies for not responding earlier, I forgot I had an appointment. So who gets the crown? Is this thread just water under the bridge?

That reminds me, I'm going to have to make an appointment for a check up!!!!

I thought the Red Giant had done for us all (well me plus 3 magnoliettes) this morning.

we were passing by its portals when a numptie in Culdaff Construction lorry on the opposite side of the road reversed into a car coming down St Marks Place. He then proceeded to due a U-turn, brushing his bumper past us as we strolled along.

Then his ducts stored on top of the wagon rolled over with the camber of the road, forming a veritable jousting weapon that then struck the 'for sale / to let' sign right in the middle, bringing it crashing down behind us.

'sorry' he said, as he jumped out to cross the road to see what damage he had inflicted on the car.

we walked on, unsquished, but with slight staining to the nether regions...

horrendous, glad you are all ok

Glad you are all ok. Its like the bloody bermuda triangle along at that bit of the high street. Only last week Sandra was threatend by the "dog man of daisy park" and it was only 39 years ago that I was knocked down by a car there as I crossed at the Zebra.

You seem to attract trafficicious numpties, Mr M.

Should you be allowed on Brenda's highways???!!

It was partly my fault although the driver should have stopped at a zebra. My attention was drawn by the sight of the first freightliner lorry I had seen. This was shortly after the terminal opened. I was watching the lorry instead of the road and unfortunately ran straight in front of the car. I was badly shaken but not seriously injured, a minor cut on the head I think. The poor driver was devastated and two days later he arrived at the house with a gift for me: subbuteo. Which seemed like a great deal to me.
