Teeth Tales - Woohoo Thirty Two

I agree with ScoZen and Luigi we need some more entries for this challenge. So in the interest of quantity over quality here's my second one. Inspired by Blur's Song 2. (And yes, hampsteads really is cockney rhyming slang for teeth).

Dream on

Posted on Tue, 31 Mar 2026

I loved this Jane !  It had an air of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy I thought.  And for all we know, maybe this is what happens.  I'm so pleased he kept Floppy's ashes, they were far more important than the watch.
