Hows your tooth by the way?

Getting better, doesn't really hurt anymore. Major problem now, and one that's worrying me is that I've still got a bit of the abscess swelling left and its constricting the movement of my jaw, so I can only open my mouth about 1cm... which obviously is limiting what I'm able to eat... so I've been on yoghurts and soups for the last 1.5 weeks. If it's still like it at the end of the week I'm going to see my dentist again. They can't do anything about the tooth until the swelling has gone so they can access it, so I'm stuck in a catch-22 at the moment.

Otherwise I'm ok, at least with the pain gone I can concentrate on work again and on tormenting the poor souls on CYforum

Anyway....back on topic:

Dimitri From Paris - Was born in Turkey, to Greek parents, but moved to France at a young age. He entered the dance-music community during the mid-'80s by DJing at the French Radio 7, his reputation had allowed him to record soundtracks for fashion barons like Chanel, Lagerfeld and Gaultier.

Prob his most recognised works would be "A night at the Playboy Mansion".
