How long have you got off, and what are you going to do with it?Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

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.

It's our yearly European trip with a visit to the oldies thrown in...Greater Surrey - France - Belgium - Netherlands - Germany - Poland - Lithuania....where we will stay a while in a place not unsimilar to
....and then relax...good food (not too much or i'll be over 100 kilo again), read, walk, doze off in the boat, being lazy, sunbathe on the jetty, a tasty beer, getting fresh milk that still smells a bit of cow poo from the farm...a swim in the lake if the weather allows...and getting stung by horse flies while removing the ticks from westie. 0 -

I don't think FIR looks like Simon Bird, he reminds me very much of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall - it may be the voice, which is almost indistinguishable to me, but he has similar hair.
I have a thing about voices, I think. My good friend sounds just like Claudia Winkleman. If you close your eyes, you're in the room with her.
Who do the other Nice People get told they look/sound like? I've been told twice recently that I look like Rebecca Adlington. On both occasions by drunken chav types. I'm not sure if I look like her to only drunken chav types, or whether drunken chav types are the only people that feel the need to voice it to a stranger.
There was a thing on facebook a few years ago where you had to post your profile pic as the famous person people say you look like. At the time, I posted Miyam Bialik from when she was Blossom. My friend who sounds like Claudia Winkleman posted a picture of Jimmy Saville (pre-Yew Tree) as her husband says she had the same haircut.Ah congratulations!
I haven't been told I look like anyone other than Federer for a while. Maybe it's as I'm getting older the 'one of those faces' thing is fading.
As I posted a year ago, if I get one whoopsied meal too many and shuffled off this mortal coil, and if they decide to make a posthumous film of my life/ put my head on a stamp/ carve my likeness into a hillside whatever/ at least Brad Pitt's still around to remind everyone what I looked like
Congrats Lydia!On a completely different note...
I have just paid off my "mortgage", posted on the mortgage free roll of honour, and then remembered to cancel the standing order to my dad.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

Dh has also been told tom hanks and justin timberlake. He's obviously a man of many faces. I think the curly hair skews to Hugh for you, he doesn't always have that though
. I prefer him with it though.
Does he sound like Hugh FW?. I find it interesting how different the timbre of his voice is in different languages. In French he sounds like a xylophone to me. He Italian ( where he is most relaxed,) his voice is deeper it feels to me. 0 -

Utterly ridiculously, I can remember:
- Toyah Wilcox, back in her "It's a Mystery" days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6vwTdQ6i7Q (I did have my hair a bit like that at the time, although more aubergine than ginger)
- Janeane Garofalo in The Truth About Cats and Dogs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janeane_Garofalo
- somebody else that I can't remember now .... might have been Kate Bush (in her Wuthering Heights days)
I think people are just blind to be honest
Oh .... and my ex who was really into the Caramel advert rabbit and said I had her eyes.0 -
Congratulations on your MF status Lydia!
I've just been to 'circuits'. This is a token gesture to counteract the mountain of junk I am likely to consume this weekend. With the added bonus that I might be in too much pain to walk tomorrow so I'll be desk-bound.0 -

Sounds exhausting
