    On the special drinks board today is Bombay sapphire gin with fever tree tonic served over ice with a slice of cucumber.

    I'm not convinced about pairing Bombay Sapphire with cucumber tbh. I'd still give it a go :beer:

    The place I currently go to for my hair is perfect for me. You don't have to make an appointment, there are 4 of them who work there and they all cut it really nicely. Costs £8.50. I've spent a lot more and it looked no better.

    Man, I really fancy a G+T now. Might have to make myself a tonic and lime...

    Me too. Something to take the edge off.

    I have to be good though. I can't go out tonight half cut.

    Having said that, some friends of mine recently bought me a miniature of Vodka: 'Dutch Courage' Which I might have :D It comes with a free month on mysinglefriend.com, which I will not be using.

    The place I go to is called Mrs. Wheezy's hair salon.
    She uses a Remington hair clipper we got from Amazon for £15.
    Drinks are free and there's a choice between Jupiler Belgian lager, Harrogate water (still or sparkling) or a glass of milk. Very MSE! :money:

    That sounds very nice actually.

    I won't have Federer-esque locks if I use clippers on it though :D Otherwise I would.

    Edit: I now fancy a Belgian lager :D

    Oh no. Me too. I love Belgian beer. My suitcase usually clinks when I'm coming back on the Eurostar! (though I did regret it this time as it was heavy to start with).

    I'm going to stick the kettle on and have another coffee instead :(

    It's patio doors, flanked on either side by another window.
    So Short Window │ Patio Doors │ Short Window

    That sounds nice, it must be lovely and light. Are the panes of glass set into uPVC? If so, it is that uPVc I meant when I was talking about the "frame". You'd then need 4 short rods in that case, one for each window and one for each door. The solution you've already come up with is probably much simpler and less trouble!

    I still have some Hendriks n the fridge but the home grown cucumbers are finished and I am not allowed booze.

    current wish is for champagne.

    Champagne surely doesn't Count.....as the buzz is so short. :).

    My mother once made a new year result ion to drink champagne every day that year. ( sadly didn't keep it)
