DS says that in order to get it out in a public toilet, it's necessary to undo not just the fly of his trousers but also the button. I had always been under the impression that only the zip was necessary to undo. I have no men that I know IRL that I would feel comfortable putting this question to.
Ha ha ha!
No, it is not. That's what the zip is for, innit.0 -
Zip only as well
Just did another 4 hours of filing (well pre filing sorting into piles). I wonder if the reason I have so much paperwork relates to having in the last 12 months house purchase, 2 house rentals, remortgage, loads of car repairs, 7 live credit cards, 5 closed credit cards, 17 open bank accounts, 6 closed bank accounts and umpteen savings accounts, isas etc?I think....0 -

The 20 year old they followed on his 2 year stint as a missionary wasn't allowed to meet any member of his family for the whole time, could make phone calls twice a year to them. He and his fellow missionary had to be together every minute of every day for the whole time, except when in the loo or bath. They slept in the same room, had to be in the same room, do everything together, 24 / 7. Very, very odd. No internet, books, newspapers, films, TV, radio, no anything.
I spotted that on 4od and thought I must watch that soon.lostinrates wrote: »Today I feel better. Yesterday was grim. I spent most of it asleep.i didn't go downstairs.
I've spent most of today asleep. Sleep is good.
Hope your sleep has done you good, lir.I thought the burns were getting better really fast. Turns out I was taking paracetamol with codeine rather than paracetamol alone.
Oh well.
Including codeine under current circumstances sounds like an excellent thing to do.
When do you expect the burns to stop getting worse and start getting better?Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

Perhaps he wears the waist of this trousers around his thighs gangsta style...but somehow I can't imagine Lydia's DS doing that....I think....0 -
They sure beat old fashioned slot head though!
No no. I can manage old fashioned slot heads no trouble. With Phillips ones I always end up trying to unscrew something that's been screwed up too tightly, and then the screwdriver goes round and round chewing up the screw head without actually unscrewing it, until the screw head is so hopelessly chewed up that nobody will ever be able to unscrew the screw at all.
Allen keys every time for me. I remember as a grad student needing to make some piece of equipment mounted into a box whose back was held on with screws. My first action on getting the box was to take it to the workshop and swap all the phillips screws for allen ones.chewmylegoff wrote: »Ha ha ha!

Thank you gentlemen. One further question, if I may... do you think that undoing the button as well is a common developmental stage in boys, that they grow out of as they become, err, bigger???Just did another 4 hours of filing (well pre filing sorting into piles). I wonder if the reason I have so much paperwork relates to having in the last 12 months house purchase, 2 house rentals, remortgage, loads of car repairs, 7 live credit cards, 5 closed credit cards, 17 open bank accounts, 6 closed bank accounts and umpteen savings accounts, isas etc?

Good lord..... How do you find the time?“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

It was interesting. They are mad as a bag of cats, though. Seriously strange.Well, even a half-hearted clean has shown me how slovenly I've been regarding housework recently. Oops.
Housework, remind me. Is that like cleaning and stuff? I have this vague memory.....
Currently holding a sleepy baby who snaps awake if I try to put him in his basket.DS2 now got abroad 1 visa 6 days and a lot if money later!
Where has he gone? You said Africa, I think?v
I have never been to Russia..and I would like to visit Moscow and St Petersburg. We will do it under own steam at some time I expect when all is well.

I hope you do go - when you're feeling better, I think you'll love it.
Sounds as if the time wasn't right for DD, sorry if I was insensitive about it....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Chamomile tea works well.
@Mystic Trev - Work have been ok about this. Not amazing but ok. They've told me that now I'm out of sick pay I have to take paid holiday. If I need further time off I'll be taking unpaid leave. They have been very understanding about needing time off at short notice and my sleepiness.0
