The phrase 'poisoned chalice' always pops into my mind when I think of days like today. Yes it's the wrong use of the phrase, but a day off - that you have to go to the DENTIST is for me a poisoned chalice !
Many thanks to Paul McCafferty for covering the breakfast show today while I "sit back and relax ....this won't hurt a bit"
I miss the days when tooth trouble meant that soon, someone would give you a pound !
