Damaging the infra orbital nerve in your face is worse, imagine having a bad tooth ache like pain constantly for over 5 years that no painkiller helps with (unless you want to be so smashed on them you barely know what day it is).
It's faded a bit over the last couple of years but it almost drove ...

fucking off from FB & coming back to the fold.

Have we got a 'how to lose 3 stone before Christmas' thread on here? I've achieved a personal best on 'You Fat Bastard' stakes, & that mostly over the last 11 weeks too.
