Yes - I was pleased - got the asking price £10250 and he is going to keep it as a classic and we will keep in touch. 


I was a bit sad seeing someone else driving it away - don't know why really - it was only a car and I have never minded parting with a vehicle before  :-\

Maybe because it it the start of a lot of changes for you?  And Jags are special cars (not that I've had one).

 Good luck with the new dentist - your tale of woe is very familiar to me and brought back horrid memories of weeks of pain. They said 'extraction' to me and now it is fine ;D

I've had bad experiences here in Scotland with NHS dentists. I have been spoiled though having grown up abroad with private dental care....Here they can't be bothered to do anything useful. Amoxycillin is the least working antibiotic for anaerobic infections and still they prescribe it like sweets or rather as an all-cure. One dose of a proper broad antibiotic does the job but you don't get it! Neither is anything available that maintains you teeth - just rip them out! Ours has sealed in kids' cavities to leave them smoldering under the sealant. He never adjusts the bite after a filling unless you're in pain. Before this one I had to listen to a young dentist flirting outrageously with the nurse - through a closed door. I could understand every word ... :rant:
Glad you like your Vaio - I like mine, too !  :&>

Yes - the dentist I am just parting from would ask you to open wider or relax your jaw or something, then without a break carry on the conversation she had been having with the dental nurse since 9am that morning - totally ignoring me as the patient, then in exactly the same tone expect me to instantly respond to her next request.


Mine you this next one looks a bit pricey, perhaps I should have checked before I booked still I didnt fancy a dentist I had just had a minor altercation with being in charge of ripping out one of my molars!!!!

 You have my sympathy dbe .
I had over a year of problems with infection , pain etc , not nice to say the least .
I am now minus 2 teeth , and after 10 lots of anti bios , my system is just getting back to normal now .
I am certain that the infection in my jaw is still there , every now and then i feel it trying to grab hold again , but as my natural imnune system regains some strength , i seem to be able to fight it off atm .
 They kept giving me amoxy for the infection in the jaw bone , all it did was allow the infection to increase . They then gave me other , more powerful anti bios , but the infection was by then very deep seated .
If the infection hits me hard again , i will take the heavy duty anti bios , but i just hope that i am at full strength at the time .
 Good luck , hope your probs are sorted .

Rusty, I've been wondering how you are. Good to hear you're alright at the moment after what you've been through. My OH swears that chewing fresh garlic a few times a day (we don't kiss much  :roflanim: ) sorted his tooth infection in the end. He had also been told that it was going to get ripped out. Good luck with the new dentist, dbe! :&>

I looked it all up and the Amoxicillin is for aerobic infection and the Metro whatsit is for anaerobic infection, which sounds far more useful when the infection is in the jaw beneath the tooth.  Plus I don't think I talk all that much to have a mouth full of air - hot air though possibly :roflanim:

Yes i am getting back to  normal here now ducks thanks .
I take my immune system boost everyday , it is chopped garlic , apple cider vinegar , lemon juice and honey taken 3 - 4 times a day , plus 3 cups of cleavers tea , and cranberry juice .
They all seem to be having an effect , can't do any harm anyway .
