Go with whoever your dentist recommends? it will prob involve some general anesthetic so not done in an ordinary dental set up. My daughter had hers done in some place on Northbrook Road. I was born minus three wisdom teeth....go figure!

I use AdBlocker. It is free but they request donations now and again so I give them 5 euro. Makes Youtube a great resource and can play online game without ad popups distracting on sidelines.

My sympathy Isha.... another Hoka fan here.

Surely the CSO have direct access to the civil registration of deaths and would not need to bother with RIP which is a commercial website?

CSO issues quarterly breakdown but none out for 2023.

One reason for higher numbers in RIP is that often there are double entries such as when the person died but came from a different county. Also some people who died abroad might appear there also if the non Irish undertaker contacts RIP. Also Irish people may be brought home for their funerals so th...

RIP cannot measure up to real stats but can give indication. It is at discretion of family that a notice is published in paper/RIP and only undertakers can put posts on RIP.

That 18% figure seems to come up across many countries incl those with better uptodate stats. See John Campbell today...

My point is that it is the consequent of the vaccine that people are dying. I follow posts of John Campbell on Youtube.

I thought the scandal/cover up was about the excess deaths that are NOT covid related and point to vaccine take up?

The hygenist removes plaque that builds up and is not cleared by toothbrush. Also checks generally and advises of tricky bits to clean. My partner has a badly done implant that needs frequent attention.

It is the hygenist I dread... I make sure to remind her that I have sensitive gums and to give a bit extra of the numbing gel that she applies.

Well it was considered a good investment! and final touch for the new bride like they get facials/nails etc these days.

That reminds me of the habit of newly weds who could afford it to get teeth out and set of dentures... my m in law in 1946. The old wive's tale was that you lost a tooth for every child...

Ah Mr Benn! reminds me of Noggin the Nog

Lassie, The Lone Ranger

Glad you went with the rough finish, think of slipping on damp smooth tiles. Maybe think of a grey grout as white will be unforgiving. I find a steam mop good for clean hard surfaces.

I had to log in just now, no idea why I was ever logged out? no updates and laptop never fully closed.

I binged on Bosch with Titus Welliver playing part... got me back reading Michael Connelly books.

I had the sad job of trying to close a phone account on behalf of a friend who had died. They insisted on a death certificate.

I have toes that I can move individually... described as 'prehensile' or some such remnant from prehistoric times. I also have one long sighted eye and one short. Daughter insists on mismatching socks!

this threat of VAT certainly puts me off ordering any thing from UK. Medals often come up for sale ... how about adopting one from some other poor solider whose family have no interest in the medals? So many young boys who would have no direct descendants.

We saw it on Disney +.... I enjoyed it but just a bit let down at end at weak story. Apparently there was an analogy to the civil war underway on the mainland...

Can I mention Happy Valley? not a movie....

Sorry to see it go, used down the years and in UK when years back it was not in Ireland. But felt death knell when the catalogue went... and in past year nothing seemed to be in stock ... and unavailable elsewhere so frustrating. We miss Roches Stores !
