Ok, moved house 6 weeks ago, took this long to get brodband internet set-up..... total fecking farce by the providers in this county, less then fecking useless.

New house is nice tho, pretty big downstairs for a UK house.  You US guys have big houses tho, no mistake there!

So, the tooth op aftermath ahs subsided and I can chew again........... but no sooner has one event passed and another lands on my doorstep.

This time is house selling / buying.  I need a bigger house (don't we all) and a cracker has come up just along the road but I'm not prepared for it; need to clean up house, lick of paint, secure the services of a solicitor, estate agent, mortgage adviser, etc etc.............. all of whom want to strip you of every peeny you have - money grabbing b'stards!!!

Haven't had much time to ride, weather is crap, working long hours - hopefully I'll have something remotely BMX related to write about.

Well, 1st blog entry and its about pain............. had my left side wisdom teeth out last Thurs (11th Jan). Opted for local anesthetic, which I think was a mistake as I could feel (not pain but pressure) everything that was going on and hear the teeth crack as the Doc butchered my mouth.

Now I have a few stictches and can't ride for a few more days - exerting oneself can cause blood pressure to rise and cause the stitches to burst or wounds to open up - bugger!

Damn my mouth hurts; on regular pain killers.  The ones prescribed by the Doc made me puke......

Best take the off-bike time to learn how to use my new Nikon D80 and associated toys !!

So, any of your mid-aged riders planning on having your teeth out, take the option of going under completely, its a rough, bloody and noisy op that you don't want to know about.!
