Teeth Tales - Woohoo Thirty Two

I agree with ScoZen and Luigi we need some more entries for this challenge. So in the interest of quantity over quality here's my second one. Inspired by Blur's Song 2. (And yes, hampsteads really is cockney rhyming slang for teeth).

Teeth Tales – a Song For My Dentist

I'll make a donation to the ABC tooth fund as an entry fee.

Lost in Translation

Not long after my mother was widowed (not my father, this was two husbands in), I persuaded her to come on a short holiday with me. We decided on...

Written in response to the IP 'The thing you kept that you shouldn't'. Except in this case it's the thing he kept that I wish he hadn't.

The Dancer

Posted on Fri, 10 Apr 2026

Well if we're all being honest, can I say I am seventy one years old and I wasn't shocked or offended at all. 

 I really don't think we can say 'great humour has never offended'.  What about the music halls ? Think Marie Lloyd singing "She...

Maybe nuclear weapons.  Which their own intelligence chief told them didn't exist in the first place, but they 'obliterated' in the second place, and then started a war over in the third place.  Them pesky nuclear weapons are mighty persistent.

Robbie says sorry

Posted on Fri, 03 Apr 2026

I think it must have been Robbie, my neighbour's lovely three legged cat, who passed away recently. (He was actually Robin, as in Reliant Robin)  He was an absolute porker and I'm not sure the bridge would have been up to his weight...

I loved this Jane !  It had an air of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy I thought.  And for all we know, maybe this is what happens.  I'm so pleased he kept Floppy's ashes, they were far more important than the watch.

It doesn't have to be like this

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2026

There's always going to be suffering, with diseases and droughts and earthquakes and other natural disasters.

But so much suffering is completely unnecessary, that's what makes my blood boil.  This current war of choice is an obvious...

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2026

I've read quite a few of the Rougon-Macquart  series, although not all 20 !  My favourites are Germinal and Au Bonheur des Dames (which the BBC tv series The Paradise was based on).

Posted on Sat, 28 Mar 2026

Well personally I'm very fond of films and books which don't tie it all up in a neat bow at the end. Leaving the readers to make their own deductions - they'd have to be better at it than Tubby Milton can manage.

I loved this...

Posted on Wed, 25 Feb 2026

Like Turlough, you have the gift of bringing the mundane to life and making it fascinating, Harry.  And funny. And sad.  And, in this case, just a bit spooky too.  Good writers can make great stories out of apparently very little material, and...

Hi Jane

Posted on Sun, 22 Feb 2026

Hi Jane

This is very intriguing !  Looking forward to what is going to happen to them next.

I think there are a few places where it says 'sight' when it should say 'site' ?  As in 'go around the edge of the sight only'.   I think...
