Yup. An abscessed tooth/gum is ****in agony. Way more painful than yer mitt getting crushed - an am no kiddin - ah didny feel much of anything when that happened. No experience of setting maself on fire, tho.
A 25ltr drum of meths exploded in my hands, wasn't sore right away, I felt fine, I didn't even want to go see the doctor as i'm hard that way. 5 minutes later I was screaming in agony, needed pethadine to kill the pain. 2 weeks in hospital and 8 weeks physio before I was able to walk without looking like John Wayne after a 12 hour ride.
Seein as yer the artist formerly known as "Police Scotland" I can understand why ye wid vote politically to the right. But, since we know yer a good Jewish boy it disny make any sense
