I had mine done under general anaesthea. It was fine, didn't feel a thing - except that I went to a party that night and got fired into a bowl of cocaine, which reacted badly to the remaining anasethetics in my system and made my legs twitch uncontrollably for 36 hours.Quote:

They haven't actually told me how they're going to anaesthetise me, but I presume they aren't going to give me a general, since they haven't told me not to eat or drink. Ho-hum.Quote:

And, since our teeth haven't evolved to catch up with our longer lifespans, our teeth tend to conk out at this point, so people in their early-to-mid 40s tend to need a lot of dental work to put their teeth in some kind of shape to see us through to the end.Quote:

Enjoy! :thumbup:
A litre? As a decent Englishman, I will only be swallowing in pints. Like your mum does.Quote:

8 pints in a gallon. I thought everyone knew that.Quote:

I had all four done at once. A very light version of a general anaesthetic with loads of injections. Took an hour with a LOT of drilling but it was fine. ****ing painful about three hours later when the injections wore off but then the pills he gave me kicked in. Uncomfortable for a week (and you look a bit of a ****) but otherwise its no big deal.Quote:

Really? Mine was in the mid 90s. No blood was swallowed and the operation was performed by two Arsenal supporters. Beat that with a stick.Quote:

Topics of later conversation with this collection of racenteurs included, 'I've owned 106 cars in my lifetime, you might say I'm a petrolhead' and 'England will never do well in a world cup because of all the foreigners.'Quote:

Well it’s five hours later and still no particular discomfort. Quite bored of my mouth tasting of blood, though.Quote:

Poutine - and it's cheese curds if done properly. Quite the most wonderful comfort food it is, as well. :eat:Quote:
