If going out in public perhaps something that can be switched on and off remotely might be the answer? The control looks very like the one for our garage or that is what the DW claims is on the key ring....

Your garage key is pink?

Do you know they come with black remotes?

A friend was going to a family funeral and ran the clippers over his hair to tidy it up. He changed the length of the blade and tidied up his neckline.

As he was dressing he spotted a longer bit sticking up on top. Picked up the clippers again....and mowed a 'bald' stripe front to back:eek:.

Had to shave off the rest of it. His partner was livid. In a dark suit with a skin close shave he looked like thug.

I used to cut dh's hair (scissors not clippers) til the day we were watching an old bing Crosby film while I cut and he had obviously cocked his head while watching, while I had subconsciously cut a homage to Bing in his Barnet...but on a slant, where his head was tilted. :rotfl:

I had never cut convensional hair cuts on men before.....hardly cut any men's hair. I learnt to cut hair by grooming dogs, horses and my sibling.

I'll say one great thing about my sister, I have done some dodgy things to her hair and she always was totally cool about it......but then if you hand an eight year old a pair of scissors and a bottle of domestos it does suggest a courageous approach to hair care.


I wish I could highlight my own hair. I had got pretty good at her highlights by the time I was at uni.

I am so looking forward to Sky taking over o2 broadband

I've had sky broadband for nearly three years- no complaints with it after it was actually set up. Getting the facilitating phone line set up was a right pain in the aris, but once it got going it has been fine. We used to have O2 and it was no better in terms of speed although twas a different house in a different area so not a proper comparison.

It is tight, gives him forty mins to get off, through passport control and pick up a hold luggage.

Very tight. Possible but needs a lot of luck.

And after that the flight was delayed. So it's nope. .

First time that when we could be together ( like in the same country, no work) we haven't moved hell and high water to be together . He'll get the earliest train he can in the morning. ( but then I am out for lunch so.......:mad:). Really frustrating. But the world will not end.

I'm confused by all this talk of mist in London. What mist?

michaels

Well i can confirm that this arvo i could barely see the BT tower from the S side of St James Park but this evening rain seems to be the order of the day. Still as we are looking at snow possibly as soon as Sat night,can't complain really.
