*        I bet you’re glad you spotted that, Olga: numb gums could’ve been the least of it!   Yes: I need to pay attention.   But what didn’t help was that the chemist gave me three tubes of painkiller: in tubes the same size as my toothpaste!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        It’s an ok film, Debbi: it helps Angelina Jolie’s in it.   Actually, so’s Penn Jillette.   (One of the characters, Cereal Killer, made A mixtape: of songs by artists who died, choking on their own vomit.   Lovely chap … !)

^        Cheers, Trevor: I got it corrected.   (I hadn’t altered the template, properly.)
