Gagging to Shave my Tongue!!!!!

Advantages: Inexpensive, compact, easy toget hold of
Disadvantages: Makes me gag, hate the scraping sensation down my tongue

...Over the past year or so I have been having quite a bit of bother with my teeth, including having to have two wisdom teeth removed recently, having root canal work and a chipped front tooth. I have always been fastidious about oral hygiene and take great pains to ensure that my teeth and gums are in the very best condition they can be. I religiously brush my teeth after every meal and floss twice a day. After a recent trip to the dentist, to check on the healing of my gums after having had my two wisdom teeth removed, my dentist remarked that I am having a lot of build up of dental plaque. Despite regular trips to the dental hygienist to have it removed, it just seems to come back quicker each time. I mentioned this to my dentist and he suggested that perhaps I should invest in a 'tongue scraper'. He went on to explain that when...

The Diary Of A Tongue Piercing

Advantages: Everthing but the healing
Disadvantages: healing process

...Okay so what I've decided to do is follow what happens during each day of a tongue piercing. Instead of just one day sitting down and writing the whole thing in an hour I will spend a few minutes each night explaining what the day was like, how it hurts on the day, what I ate, the progress my tongues made, any worries, and anything else I can think on that day. I think then this will give everyone a good idea as to what a tongue piercing is like and what may happen day after day. So In some ways it's like a tongue piercing diary haha. I know it's very long but this way everyone who is interested will get an in depth review and I have also tried to add a bit of sarcasm, wit and comedy so it will not be a long boring read. I will follow what happens each day for 2 weeks writing a few lines for each day, anyway enjoy and I hope this helps...

Tongue piercings

Advantages: The men like it ;-)
Disadvantages: Can get infected, swells up etc *see op*

...People often ask me, why did u get that done? Well, I had my ears pierced when I was 4 and since the age of 12 I’d always wanted my tongue pierced. I asked my parents if i could get it done, but as I expected the answer was NO! Eventually, after 3 years of nagging, moaning and wining, they gave in to me and said I could get it done, but then I began to think. Dare I? I plucked up the courage when I was 14 to go into town and get it done. I had to have a letter from my parents to say they gave their consent, as I was only 14. The lady in the shop had hers done so I was asking all questions possible. Did it hurt? Can u eat normal food afterwards etc I paid her £35 pound and sent upstairs to be faced by a scary looking man - he was covered in tattoos and piercings but was a lovely bloke. I sat down on the chair a he explained...

TONGUE PIERCINGS!!!

Advantages: looks kind of cool, either scares or impresses people.
Disadvantages: long healing period usually 5-10 days and cant eat.

...Where to begin... dont let the first story put you off, let it be a lesson to go somewhere sanitary and trusted, even if it does mean waiting until you're 16. Just turned 15, an angry rebelling teenager, pushing the boundaries.. decided to go one step further and get her tongue pierced. Big mistake. ----MY STORIES ---- As nowhere allows you to get your tongue pierced (or any piercings for that matter) before the age of 16 or without parental consent, I was driven to pretend a friend's big sister was indeed my big sister, and we went to a place where they would actually buy that kind of nonsence (aka. a dodgy place). They did find it a bit strange, but accepted the situation and agreed to pierce my tongue. ----The Procedure:---- They checked underneath my tongue for veins. I was told to eat a chocolate bar and drink...

Joy Division first album (discounting warsaw)

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...Unknown Pleasures was the debut album of a late 70's post punk group otherwise known as the genius that is Joy Division!! They were previously called "warsaw" and made an album of the same name but renamed themselves amd got a new manager and they came out with this album in 1979 through Factory Records, which was owned by Tony Wilson who believed so much in the band that he invested his entire lives savings on making this album. Band Members: Bernard Sumner guitarist, Peter hook guitarist, Stephen Morris drummer and Ian Curtis as vocalist. The album was produced by martin hannet at strawberry studios at stockport.. as alot of people haven't the foggiest who Joy division are I'll give a mini history: formed intially with old school friends bernard sumner and peter hook and terry.. later terry managed the band and another drummer was...

Review of Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division

My what a big tongue you have!

Advantages: Brings a smile to your face, looks funny, dog loves it
Disadvantages: Some dogs just won't hold it the right way for a photo!!

...What is it? The company claim it's the world's funniest dog toy. It is a ball and a tongue in one toy. Basically it's a rubber toy with a ball at one end, its designed so that when the dog picks up the ball in its mouth the extended tongue protrudes out of the dogs mouth so it looks like the dog is sticking a big tongue out. It gives us humans a good laugh and the dogs enjoy it too. Sizing The Humunga Tongue comes in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large sizes. On the back of the packet there is a chart giving 25 different breeds of dogs and the recommended size of Humunga Tongue that you should purchase. If the breed of dog you have is not listed or if you have a mixed-breed dog just select the breed of dog which is similar size to your dog and purchase that size. Small Tongue - suitable...

Review of Humunga Tongue

Truly this album is a Joy

Advantages: Some excellent tracks and the rest will grow on you
Disadvantages: The cover is a bit dull

...drums & keyboards. So whats on The Joy Of Sing Sing then? 1 - Everything (Anderson) 3:14. The rather weird musical box intro might throw a few people off kilter but once the vocals kick in it does become rather shoegazeresque, the guitar line is rather nice and this is definately one for the Lush fans. This even has the typically layered vocals which were a hallmark of Lush too. 2 - Tegan (Anderson, Cipriani, O'Neill) 4:52 The title of which apparently means beautiful little thing in Cornish, you learn something new every day, don't you? The breakbeat really can't make its mind up and constantly changes but its certainly very different going from techno to Madchester to 80's synth & everywhere in between on the trip. Stelvio Cipriani is known for writing Italian film & spaghetti western soundtracks and is credited because the track...

Review of Joy Of Sing Sing, The - Sing-Sing

Joy all day long

Advantages: Unique brand of humorous writing
Disadvantages: Not the best Jeeves and Wooster

...writing and indeed Wodehouse?s style is unique and inimitable. Stephen Fry has said: ?You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour.? Still, some analysis is required if this review is not to come to a shuddering halt. Joy in the Morning (which I hadn?t read before) is a complete middle-of-the-road Jeeves and Wooster offering, neither pippin nor purler, as Bertie might say. It has a typical plot and all the usual elements of the Wodehouse world, so it?s no surprise that it was first published in 1947, right in the middle of Wodehouse?s output. One of the challenges issued by Wodehouse-lovers to Wodehouse-sceptics is to summarise the fiendishly complex plots, and I had a go at this one but abandoned it. It would take too long and would spoil it for you; that, and, to be honest, it?s way too difficult...

Tongueing it

Advantages: Pleasure, gives the olds a shock
Disadvantages: Got to be soooo careful with the after care

...After putting it off for 18 months I finally had it done! I'd been a bit sceptical before expecting loads of pain and stuff even though I have my eyebrow, lip, tragus and 20+ earrings. But I was pleasantly surprised at how little it hurt! I had mine done at Pierced Up in Bristol, they only concentrate on piercings and have one of the best reputations around. Pete the piercer sat me down and went through the procedure first. Then the nervy part. Pierced up will only put metal bars in piercings for optimal healing and less chance of infection. Nor do they use numbing liquids which can cause the introduction of germs themselves. So I had to wash my mouth off with a anti-bacterial solution for a full minute which did make my tongue slightly numb. He them made me curl it so he could get it dead centre and marked it above and below, I...

Aquafresh Flex Tooth & Tongue Toothbrush : A magic toothbrush?

Advantages: Good cleaning action, bendy neck, made my teeth feel healthy
Disadvantages: Packaging almost impossible to open, difficult to clean the back of the tongue

...To me, buying a new toothbrush is similar to having new shoes, a new keyboard or a new vegetable knife, in that they can take a little bit of getting used to. Thinking it was about time I replaced my toothbrush, I studied a few in Sainsburys and the Aquafresh Extreme Tooth & Tongue brush caught my eye. I was particularly attracted to the claims on the rear of the pack that it is supposed to remove 5 times more bacteria than other toothbrushes, and I liked the idea of a flexible neck (flexible neck on the brush, I mean!). The brush apparently contains silver ions, which are said to help prevent bacterial growth. My trusty old toothbrush suitably binned, I grappled with trying to open the security-welded pack so I could test out my newbie Aquafresh purchase. Because I was finding the pack extremely difficult and frustrating to...
