Thanks Doc. Had lots of drilling, which was wonderful. Getting a crown done. Felt pretty grotty afterwards but getting better a day later.

It was a tooth that had a huge filling in, so it was weak. Then I finished it off with my chewy sweets! I've seen the movie, The Dentist (I think it is called). A real nasty horror! Not for the squeamish.

I think they have their own pair waiting for me!

A couple of days ago, I was chewing on some candy and the whole top part of my tooth sheered off. It doesn't actually hurt, but I do have a dental appointment tomorrow morning and I am worrying that he might need to yank my tooth out! my previous dentist has gone AWOL so I changed to a local...

Moderated posts because a) low volume of posts and b) daily spam.

I heavily modified the other site, so there were several hoops to go through. e.g. removing what version of the software it was, adding captcha to signups, min 5 or 10 posts before links can be posted, some back-end stuff linking to stopforumspam, I think there might be a honeypot on there, and...

Every morning, I check The Mind Tavern. Currently, all posts are being moderated. And every day there is at least 1 spam post I have to Reject. Oh the woes of being a administrator. I'm not sure how much spam my other forum gets but probably more than here! In any case, it is such a nuisance!

My club is a couple of miles away, so it is a no brainer for me. Having said that, I only go when there is a match to my local club. This new club has stronger players so will drive the 6 miles there. Doc, at least you know its there if you get the inclination. If you are anything like me, I...

Thanks Doc. I never got into bridge, but it is hugely popular. Whenever I go to my local chess club, or even the new one too, there is a bridge thing going on, with large numbers of people taking part.

I won a trophy at the weekend. It was for best Crowborough player in the local tournament. I also won it 32 years ago! After 32 years of hurt, it is finally back in the right hands again. I am the champ! Also, I joined a new chess club this Monday. Played 5 games and won 3, all against very...

We have 4 seasons. Each brings a different flavour to life and consequently a change of sorts. How is your life changed by the coming autumn and what does it mean to you?

There was a scuffle in parliament last night. We have become a laughing stock.

Doc, my understanding (which is limited) is that factions within the Conservative party do not want Brexit. Then there are factions within the opposing parties that do not want Brexit. By collaborating, they want to stop Brexit with no-deal. They want to stop a process of leaving Europe which...

Sadly, my mother passed away today. She was 85 years old. Rest in peace. :cry:

My fitbit shows that I only had 5hrs 28m of sleep last night. I normally need about 8, although I usually get about 7hr 30m on average. How much sleep do you need? Do you normally get what you need? How do you feel when deprived?

I wouldn't expect anything less. :p

I like Ben's train of thought. Looks accurate to me.

Can America ever pay off such a huge debt? It is mind bogglingly large!

Is Venezuela a good example of this, or a poor example since I don't believe it was communist?
