I'm sorry it's still that long. Doesn't seem to be much fun, you said you hate your dentist.

Emy Klevers · September 22, 2012 4:22 pm

No...it is all fine...Then, I forget my brace and ...who like the dentist ? Even Mycroft don't like him !

Harriet · September 22, 2012 4:35 pm

I do love my dentist. He is special, so funny I could laugh my head off. But I see him way too often, though ...

Emy Klevers · September 22, 2012 4:38 pm

You are lucky ! My dentist is not like yours ! I don't like when he say : "Lève la tête" "voil� " and I hate when he talk with his colleague when he observed my teeth ( or tooth...god, I forget...)

About the difference to fanfic:....

A nice addendum, she made a funny remark on
Adventure IV of Sherlock Holmes. “The Boscombe Valley Mystery"
"Are we certain he was not writing fanfiction?"

Is he at least a good doctor?

Emy Klevers · September 22, 2012 5:11 pm

I think he is good...but my mother don't like him.
And he isn't really funny...I am going to say like Sherlock about ordinary people : " My dentist is an idiot, an ordinary idiot dentist".

Harriet · September 22, 2012 5:19 pm

If you think he's good, that is what matters. Even if he is predictable, dumb, dull, boring and tedious.

LOL

But that's so true!
I had a "funny" one years ago. But what does it help if he is joking all the time but you think he is not good - AND expensive!
Now my dentist mostly doesn't talk at all. What I like because I think he's concentrating on his work. And that's all he has to do.

Harriet · September 22, 2012 5:32 pm

If I thought he wasn't a good doctor, I would not go either, like you.
Good for me: I left a not-so-skillful dull one for a hilarious quite good one.
I'm glad these characteristics don't always exclude each other.

My funny one helps me a lot to relax and I enjoy going there, instead of postponing an appointment

My dentist didn't charge me for my last visit because he said we laughed so much. Honestly! How often does that happen?

Emy - There was a conversations about braces on the forum a while back -- either here in chit-chat or in free rants. You might want to check it out.

The Brits also call the things that hold up your pants braces, but we call them suspenders in the US. And I think in the UK suspenders are what we call garters in the US. So, you see, even we English speakers don't always speak the same language. You can find some funny things in the languages thread.

By the way, I'm a full-grown woman, but I may be getting braces soon -- one my teeth, not my pants!

Oops almost forgot: We Americans say pants for trousers. In the UK, pants are underwear.

Because you find the words "Sherlock Holmes" in Leo Berlin.

Today, walking through the pedestrian zone of one of my neighbour cities, suddenly THIS caught my eye:

...that would be: "Put Leo on the lead."
Leo - what have you done...? Susi, didn't you pay attention?

(Just for the record: yes, I know it concerns the Leo tank.)

SusiGo · September 22, 2012 7:49 pm

Oh, I love that, Tobe. Don't know what he's been up to, the naughty boy. May I post the photo on FB?

tobeornot221b · September 22, 2012 7:57 pm

Of course you may, Susi!

veecee · September 22, 2012 8:06 pm

It sounds like something Irene would say.

And I just started to wonder - braces for pants?? (I think I learned the UK version. )

Nice dentist, btw.

Good find, tobe. Never thought about puttin Leo on the lead. Maybe I have to check the other books.

Yes, great dentist! We should bring ours together and watch them perform.

My dentist is already retired but he still fixed couple of cavities I had on a saturday in his old office, for free of charge. He's a family friend and a really cool guy. He knows pretty much everything about Lord of the Rings, Greek mythology, atrology etc. He has one of those brains that when he reads something, it sticks to his memory. I mean he knows all the family-trees from the LOTR book by heart.

SusiGo · September 23, 2012 12:31 pm

Dramagod, how good to hear from you again. Welcome back.
