Thanks Disembodied... I'm just back from the dentist, and not fully in gear yet.

No problem! I hope your gnashers are all back in working order. hemang25 seems to have a sideline in cosmetic dental implants in Mumbai, anyway, in case you're interested ...

Yeah, I noticed that... and I've been to Mumbai (or Bombay, as it was then). As for my gnashers:

The intrepid denizen of the spacelanes, fearless veteran combateer, master assassin and contrabandista extraordinaire, entered the dental surgery, humming nonchalantly, and calmly seated himself in the ‘chair of pain’... the dentist looked-up, grinning.
‘Good morning, sir… first, just a few little injections to numb the jaw and gum… then we’ll saw that tooth in half and extract it.’
‘No need for injections, my good man… I’ll just mentally chant ‘om mane padme hum’, and all will be well… pain is all in the mind, after all… just rip the damn thing out.’

Yeah right… I was quaking in my hand-tooled, cuban-heeled boots… like a virgin Jameson at Riedquat, who’s just been jumped by twenty bandits.
It wasn't as bad as the wisdom tooth extractions that I’ve had over the years (a molar this time)… but much worse than Monday’s… and now, as the injections begin to wear-off, the throbbing starts.

**BOMBED** (from orbit, it's the only way to be sure)

Bomb him.

Following users seem suspect. When searching google/bing they both seem to be related to dieting and dieting products.

I think that papavaughn is clean, Gimi… a Google search on its own can be misleading… try your own username… I get a whole bunch of stuff for mine.
Stop Forum Spam should be your first port-of-call.

I was not suggesting that they be deleted. I nominated them for further investigation. Both connected to dieting products, 0 posts and also being created almost at the same time suggested a closer look.

Will run stuff through "Stop Forum Spam" in the future.

Cool... you were certainly right about 'bridayPiora', and you may well be right about 'papavaughn'.
I have to be a little cautious... thanks for the 'tag' though, Gimi.

Slowly, slowly, nuke the monkey...

Damn smart these avians...

Ah, great-cousin MuggyHabby - a bit dim, to be honest. He shouldn't be prodding it with a stick, he should have prodded it with one of these:

In great-cousin MuggyHabby's defence, New Caledonia is pretty isolated... no katanas there, methinks.

We taught him basic metallurgy and smithing before we let him fly the nest - he's a disgrace...

You guys are off topic in the off topic section of the board by the way.

But of course, it makes a change from the smell of Spam in the morning...

Off-topic?... Us? Surely not... not on this forum, no sir... nor do we ever have threads hijacked, perish the thought.
