Being a mod, I thought twice about starting this, but I guess that being a mod, I can also shut it down. It might generate some interesting replies....
Seeing it just happened to me a minute ago, don't you just cringe when...
You're munching on a crisp (chip to the Aussies), and it goes up between a tooth and your gum :uneasy:
Yes, It's not a good feeling at all. On par I'd say with biting your own Tongue ,I mean what makes you want to bite your own Tongue. :confused1:

I'm with you on that, I'm having to bite my tongue regularly. Seems I'm referred to as a loose cannon and constantly engaging mouth before brain!! or so I'm told.

Either that or when you crunch on a crisp and a small bit forces itself BETWEEN two teeth - OW!

Sadly, it tends happen more with the chunkier crisps like Kettle Chips too :(

Its seeded bread that makes me cringe - when the seeds get stuck between your teeth and you spend hours trying to lick them out or pick em' out with your finger nails!! :'(

Good idea - never thought of that. I use them when I clean my teeth. I'll have to carry a couple with me.
:thankyousign:
But don't ya just cringe when.....?
Type here! :thumbsup:
... you bite down on something and realise immediately you're going to need dental treatment for the tooth in question...
... that tiny part from the bits bag from your brand new £120 loco that you have been carefully manipuating with tweezers (with your tongue sticking out to help concentration) flies off into the great unknown
Best regards,
Joe
P.S. Even worse if it's a vital screw that holds the loco together

Aye, tell me about it ! 6months ago he said that he couldnt do any more with it and that the next time it would have to come out.
Guess what happened 2 nights ago when eating some cheese on toast :( Not even pork crackling or toffee, just a nominally harmless , , oh maybe it was that slice of tomato on top wot dun it ?
Dont you just cringe :
when you read yet again that perfectly good Drives have to be destroyed cos your data can always be recovered !
Just because the delete command doesnt, what an urban myth has grown up as a result.
The only good thing about that is that the old drive is probably two small to be of any use anyway !!

I'm not sure, I will have to consult my chum B. but I think that could well be off topic ? I mean not "cringe", isnt it bordering on suicide ?? :laugh3:

A word of warning to our younger members living north of Watford - avoid pork scratchings like the plague. Otherwise you will have no back teeth left by the time you are 50.
I speak from experience :(

Cringe would be the polite word for when you think you can navigate the room barefoot in the dark, and a table leg leaps out and whacks you on the end of your little toe :censored: :veryangry:

Once upon a time long long ago when I was young,
are you sitting comfey ? , ,
my wife baked a birthday cake for her mother and when we were due to set off to visit she put the cake on the floor just inside the front door, went back to attend something in the kitchen saying
"Can you take the cake round to the car "
" Yes " says I, ever ready to help.
Bent down to pick up said cake and, and, and , yep you guessed , ,
arrrgggh! + other choice words and spent the next week in bed hardly able to move.
Lots of jokes over the years about heavy baking.

I cringe when I think of the excuses I had to employ to avoid being fed lots of bacalao* and feijoada** when I was in Brazil (and amazed at some of the language differences between Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese ! )
But all the churrasco*** made up for it :)
Now if that doesnt bring his partner along to read this I dunno what will LOL! muwahhaa !
Edit,
to save all the googling :D
* salt cod, ugh
** pigs tail stew, thrice ugh
*** BBQ beef steak, on swords stuck vertically in the ground near a big fire, ahhh that's better.

"bacalao"? The spelling is bacalhau.
The Portuguese and the Brazilian feijoada are completely different.
And for your information in Portugal there are more than 100 recipes of bacalhau. But for that you need to go to Portugal and not Brazil.

In respect of 'things dental'
When you bite down and on the 'Downward' stroke realise that something sharp has somehow just managed to insert itself under your bottom dental plate AND THERE I NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP THE 'BITE'!!!
Let's just say that 'pain' takes on a whole new dimension as a result...
Things ' Model railway': When you are carefully assembling a MicroTrains coupler and are just sliding the cover of the top. AND THE SPRING ESCAPES!!!! (especially as it is the only one you have left).
Anyone who has ever played 'hunt the springs' will know what follows... :) :)
While at Exhibitions: After having spent weeks carefully (and lovingly) assembling a (for you) most-intricate and difficult model that is now your pride and joy, and some plonker comes along and proceeds to loudly critique your poor workmanship, choice of colours and all and everything about it, and then walks away... (There is ALWAYS an audience in such situations....).

Well actually I have an admission to make :
I could remember the phonetics "bak-al-yeow" but not the spelling, and phonetics is not much good on google so I put in "salt cod portugal " and that is one wiki it came up with, so I'll now go hunting that Josie Wales character and tell him he got it wrong :) !

I am still not fluent in Portuguese
I never was either, could get by in shops and on the bus etc but not good in social and more refined company :)
On campus everything was in English and I couldnt gainay, after all they had a tame captive Brit to practice upon and they were about to go out into the world for their living !!! No contest, learning another lingo was fun for me (and of course being polite) but vital for them.
Then through lack of practice here (and not much used in Europe either :( ) I have forgotten nearly all of it.
The only use - when a French, German or Belgian would complain " you British, you cant learn another language" , , , heheee watch their face fall when they are engaged in conversation in Portuguese, oh the simple fun I did have :)

That's hard Sir, that's hard...
What's making me cringe now is all the dental references as have to have a root canal at 10.45 this morning :'(
Please think of me then and pray, NOT laugh.
Might go and stand on an upturned plug to cheer myself up! :D
Cheers weave
Ps Bacalao is the Spanish but think same thing.
Don't you just cringe when... you've got to have root canal... good luck, mate. :thumbsup:
Don't you just cringe when....
1..... You see yourself dancing on a wedding video.
2..... I see toads, I hate them. Must have a phobia. Am fine with spiders and snakes but not toads or big frogs. Obviously would not be fine with the spiders and snakes from Bealman's neck of the woods, that's more aaaargh run away, run away so it's really not cringing.
3. (from my missus) .....You see a grown man still sitting in his dressing gown on the computer trying to ignore the fact that he has a root canal in just over an hour and thinking of excuses to get out of it.
Better get ready :(

Hi Weave,
How did the R.C. treatment go? Not too painful I trust.

Yep... how'd it go?
Thanks guys,
It was OK ish.
Actually the tooth isn't so bad.
It was a top front tooth and still feels like I got punched in the nose at a bar brawl (not that things like that ever happened in my life :no:)
On a plus side the dentist has a new assistant/ nurse or whatever you call them who is gorgeous so I didn't cry. Not even a whimper until the drugs wore off.
Thanks again,
Will think of more cringes soon.

Cool! :thumbsup:
My wife and I cringe whenever a television presenter says those words, "And they're going to let me have a go at driving/bus/train or I'm going to cook with this master chef/baker etc.etc!

I used to cringe at 'America's Next Top Model' until I realised I was gaining TV brownie points to watch football instead of 'Britain's Got Talent'.
Unfortunately SWMBO decided that the first programme was a load of whatever and so I have to watch the second one and watch taped football at 1 in the morning :(
Others are...
Men in speedos. I know that's mainly a women issue but for the love of god wear some shorts. Was trying to have lunch in a hotel bar near the pool in Mauritius once when these two German guys walked in and used the bar stools as foot rests (one foot up, one down) :sick2:
People who try to help you with a cryptic crossword in a bar or on a train and then tell you they don't do cryptic crosswords.
'Sip of snow with note mixed up' (4,3,3) for want of a better clue.
That's probably rubbish so cringe, I'm not a compiler.
Would you like a bag? it's 5p. Yes and yes I know. How many? As many as you need to put my stuff in! I can still just afford a Fleischmann locomotive so I can afford a 5p bag.
Sounds more moaning than cringing but is in my head.
Sorry, out of my system now, I'll shut up....
Tooth playing up... more pills needed
Thanks for listening,
