No it’s all different types of electric/ battery clippers, cutthroat razors, lighted tapers, exfoliating lotions and Turkish coffee.
Quite glad I self-clip... that sounds all too exciting.0 -
As I may have said before, given the number of Turkish barbers in the UK. One wonders who cuts the Turks hair.0

Anyway, it cheers me up that the two gert big Devon reservoirs (Roadford & Wimbleball) are starting to look a lot healthier, though Cormwall's Colliford is amazingly still only a third full.

Well, I could see it as I pumped it up, so put the absolute minimum in and put as little weight as possible on the front... I was lucky it wasn't the back.veronese68 said:That's definitely cattled Brian, good job it was dark so you couldn't see it.

A good looking graph ruined by including China twicepangolin said:briantrumpet said:rick_chasey said:Ha. The whining about charts others produce that I use is genuinely limiting when it comes to a constructive argument.
Recognising the problems with charts quoted before others point out the problems might be a good ploy: it's a Feynman strategy... "These are all the problems with my hunch... but despite all these problems, these are all the reasons why I think that my hunch is correct."
Sure, several of us, I suspect, quote bald charts to do a bit of (sometimes unsubtle) trolling, but one has to be ready for the pushback if the charts are flawed, by omission, or whatever.

It's the tomato I can never understand, it feels like a random attempt at putting something healthy on there.orraloon said:Whit! Nae haggis? Oh...

I did enjoy the haggis on mine when up in Edinburgh recently. I also enjoy potato bread and soda bread that you get on Irish versions.
Not a good thing to be thinking about when I'm trying to get ride of 10kg before a few running races I've got coming up!0 -
Finding all six episodes of The Singing Detective downloadable online. As I've just properly wanged my back again, I'm miserable and need some entertainment.0

^ don't see any mention of offshore taxdodging as per Barclay brothers. Surprising.
Added: I was contemplating that collection of 'wind up the gammons' buttox while washing some pans. If the purpose is to wind up the gammons, shirley that becomes a bit gammon-depleting wot wiv already high BP etc? Maybe the torygraph is actually a leftiebollox traitorous conspiracy.

Being in the right house next week, at least as far as heating bills are concerned... up to an 18° difference... but it's good news for the skiing, I guess.

Guessing that 'recumb' might be a real word, and discovering that, yes, it's in the OED.

It also fascinated me seeing how small it had been scrunched up to get in the delivery box and seeing it gradually plump up over 24 hours.0 -

Just did the maths on the mattress compression, and it had been reduced to less than one sixth of its volume to fit, as a roll, in the box. Impressive.0
