The rain scuds in, the thermometer slips into single figures, and my teeth, especially those on the right hand side ache. They're like the three musketeers, where one goes, all go. This happens every year. Without fail.

So this afternoon I've been at the dentist, where after the check-up, I sneaked a look at my dental card. I've been going to the same dentist for twenty years.

C'mon guys reward that loyalty. Maybe a free check-up or a discount on an electric toothbrush. I must have paid for the revolving, up and down dental chair several times over. What about it.
