    That's because it's only for the uber-chav classes.

    Its probably quite 'fun'. Once. Till it itches, or is subject to friction. :D. Edit...if I were a teen of sexually consenting age I could see the appeal.

    Don't mind admitting I have never been 'vajazzled' it looks like it would be itchy and uncomfortable. :o

    Me neither. Can't say I've ever been tempted.

    Just read a thread about blue badge holders

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4536575

    All that aggro, from other blue badge holders, suggests I don't want one. :).

    Fwiw, my non resident parent has one, and is more able bodied than me though!

    It would have sounded more like a 'vajazzle' that a dye-job if that had been the case :D

    I had to turn to urban dictionary for that one - it is nice that the np's have such a wide vocabulary between us...

    Edit - I tried typing my name into urbandictionary.com :)
    I think....

    Don't know If anyone else here saw Mr Lewis recommend a kindle book the Martian ? It's cheap ATM on amazon, (77p ) but won't be for very long.

    I dipped into it earlier. It's not bad. I haven't read the end so I am not sure how good that not bad is yet. :)

    Eye contact is often a bonus! :o

    I'm fine thanks lir :) Enjoying seeing the sun again! There are a couple of niggles (lack of houses coming up for sale, and a feeling that prices will be higher when they do appear; my continuing inability to write a thesis), but other than that things are fine.
    Almost been in job for 6 months, time has flown!

    How are you?

    And just back in the door from Englandshire....

    Drive.

    Park.

    Wait.

    Fly.

    Hire car.

    Drive.

    Meeting.

    Eyes glaze over.

    Try not to yawn.

    Pretend to be interested.

    Politely say goodbye.

    Drive.

    Sit in traffic.

    Drive some more.

    Sit in more traffic.

    Drive.

    Return Car.

    Wait.

    Fly.

    Drive home.

    ..... Truly, a hand-bitingly dull day.

    (Note to self. Really must try harder to avoid going to Englandshire in future.)

    Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”
