    I'm a left stander...I blame being left handed plus the fact that when you go up or down stairs, you stay to your left.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    I always run my central heating off the thermostat. So it's currently on my winter night setting, around 13 - 14c. Yesterday was the first time the central heatings kicked in since April, and it's never kicked in in June.So much for trying to reduce my heating bill :mad:

    That'll be me (waves). Which of the ends did you live at? I use Chorleywood and Stanmore when going in to Wembley. Would use Watford too but other two are closer to motorways so quicker to get to.

    I used to live at the Middlesex end :) I'm sure it wasn't you that I encountered - it was traffic in the other direction (from central London), which if it was a football match consisted of large (height or width or both) men who smelt of lager (and were often drinking it) crammed into the carriage with those of us who had planned our journeys badly and so were trying to get home at the same time.

    Are you a girl or a metrosexual? Most men I know wouldn't know a hair extension if they got hit in the head by one.

    Gender and sexuality labels are unhelpful. If I want hair extensions I will damn well have them.


    Anyway...I think this probably just shows you how bad the hair extensions were. They were the same colour as the hair but massively glossy and shiny whereas the hair was dull and matt.

    So, NP mushroom lovers, are you also Garibaldi people? NP mushroom haters, do you too see them as a waste of time.
    I am a mushroom hater. I would eat a Garibaldi biscuit. I would even buy Garibaldi biscuits if they were 10p and other packets were 30p. But I'd not rush to buy them, nor crave them.

    We used to call them "squashed ants biscuits".

    OK - and from a girl's position:

    I, as a girl, had NO Idea they were extensions ... I just thought the girl had grown her hair. The programme said "you've not got short hair any more" and she said "No, I missed long hair so I had these extensions put in".... there is NO WAY I'd have EVER known they were extensions.

    As to whether they were bad extensions or not - who knows - but I do know her hair looked funny.

    :)

    I also didn't notice shiny/matt .... so Legoff must be metrosexual to some big degree.... she had HAIR. That's all. Hair.

    What did you call welsh rarebit then?

    My parents were continental. We children all thought it was called welsh rabbit.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    perhaps you were tired, or didn't have your glasses on?
