OH, I WISH I'D LOOKED AFTER MY TEETHbyPam Ayres
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth, And spotted the perils beneath, All the toffees I chewed, And the sweet sticky food, Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth. I wish I'd been that much more willin' When I had more tooth there than fillin' To pass up gobstoppers, From respect to me choppers And to buy something else with me shillin'. When I think of the lollies I licked, And the liquorice allsorts I picked, Sherbet dabs, big and little, All that hard peanut brittle, My conscience gets horribly pricked. My Mother, she told me no end, "If you got a tooth, you got a friend" I was young then, and careless, My toothbrush was hairless, I never had much time to spend. Oh I showed them the toothpaste all right, I flashed it about late at night, But up-and-down brushin' And pokin' and fussin' Didn't seem worth the time... I could bite! If I'd known I was paving the way, To cavities, caps and decay, The murder of fiIlin's Injections and drillin's I'd have thrown all me sherbet away. So I lay in the old dentist's chair, And I gaze up his nose in despair, And his drill it do whine, In these molars of mine, "Two amalgum," he'll say, "for in there." How I laughed at my Mother's false teeth, As they foamed in the waters beneath, But now comes the reckonin' It's me they are beckonin' Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.

@leeCal great poem
-
Lots of shouting going on downstairs today. I think a family member is annoyed about something. I don’t like arguments, it really affects me.
-
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that @66Mustang. I hate arguments and shouting too. Are you able to put some headphones on to drown out the noise?
-
@Tori_Scope yes I listened to Top Gear through my headphones for a little while and it was OK in the end thanks
-
@leeCal Love that Pam Ayres poem and how I relate. Why did I eat all them fizzy cola bottle when I was a young one!
@66Mustang Glad it quietened for you, I don't like arguing either. How are you feeling today? Do you have much planned?

Yuck, so I just checked Argos for stock of the Xbox Series X and they're out of stock! Eh? They got new stock yesterday! I know the demand is ridiculously high but come on!
-
I think it's probably because of everyone buying things in the Black Friday sales @MrAllen1976 , and the demand is very high as you say. Sorry that you weren't able to get one. Do you know when they might restock?
-
Black Friday?! Meh, another pointless import from the USA!

Might pop down to the Flat later and bring my Xbox back here so I can play Cyber Punk 2077, and take my Xbox Series S back there for now until I can get a Series X next year.
Euromillions is £175 Million again tonight, might pop in the Co Op and buy some tickets.
