Having said that, if he suddenly needs advice on farming techniques and finds himself in the Norwich area, I am sure you could come to some sort of agreement.
I now only talk about the 'praxis' when with Thömas. I hope so too - he has employed a few mad people in the past, but he is a good judge of someone's character as far as sweetness goes.
His praxis has suffered as a result of many things in the past, the worst being the erstwhile partnership with an elderly Hungarian who he now refers to as 'Dracula'.
Thomas with an Umlaut? Only Motorhead (Lemmy) gets away such affectation. Which is why I am dead suspicious of any Martyn. Give me a Martin any day.
Whatever a dental technician does it will be more benevolent than what my (German) hygienist (Wimborne, Dorset, England, ca. 1990s)did. He'd take your mouth and resident teeth apart- with vigour, kindly put all parts back together again, after a long interval - all the while running a social commentary. I called him "the Butcher".
I thought it was Rachel for a moment
ReplyDeleteit couldn't have been, he is more or less sane
DeleteWhich one?
DeleteI need some dental advice, can I meet your friend Thómas when he comes over?
ReplyDeleteNo. Even I don't ask him for dental advice when he is on holiday.

DeleteDo you need it?
DeleteNeed what? Farming advice? I've eaten too many Norfolk sugar beet to need dental advice.
DeleteOh, the shame! My innate Germanity cringes at light saber loving men.
ReplyDeleteAs opposed to the heavy, sabre-loving men of university duelling clubs?
DeleteMy God, are they still doing that nowadays?
DeleteI had to get out my dictionary to look up praxis. It's what I thought it was. Hoping your friend's decision will be a good one.

Delete'Praxis' is a good word as is 'Zahnpasta', having nothing to do with Italian food.
ReplyDeleteHe brings us zahnpasta when he visits. There is a company called 'Meridol' which you can only buy from in Germany, it seems.
DeleteI hope his praxis doesn't suffer as a result.

Sounds as thought the experience had a lasting and detrimental effect on you, Ürsula.
DeleteCharming.
DeleteDepends how you define "detrimental" and for whom, Tom. My bite now a bit more polished and meatier than my miaou.

How's your bark?
DeleteI don't think you can put reference or preference to the classification of someones sanity when recruiting anyhoo.......
ReplyDeleteWell you can't if you work in mental health, anywaaay.
DeleteUnsypathetic translations they were.
ReplyDeleteMay The Force Be With You.
Be with you, the force may.
DeleteAll the same can't help being glad he is not my dentist.
