    I agree with GDB on this one. Your face looks fine to me - a lot younger and smoother than mine - as it should because you're younger than me.

    Thank you.

    Tbc I am not fishing for compliments ( though they are always nice).

    I'm just saying what I see. I just benefit from some maintenance now. Might be a carrot for after proper op.

    Beautiful girl in my bed naked who needs no facelift at all, eats half again what her maths should need and is never fat.

    My wife drops me within 50m of the train, I walk 150m and down 2 escalators at the tube station, up 20 steps and 50m to my office. Sit down all day except for trips to the water machine and bathroom. Reverse journey is similar except for walking up 2 escalators. Walk round the supermarket once at the weekend.....must be a lot of nervous energy....

    Or I miscalculated your BMR, or you eat less than you think, or...
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Fat pads out wrinkles beautifully, I have little to complain about apart from naso labial lines, which are normal. It doesn't lift up droop. ;), which is progressing abnormally because of the fat, filling up my facial lines......

    I don't think that genes related to failing to metabolise half the calories could possibly have survived.

    However, your basal metabolic rate is around 1700 calories. Add in walking to/from the station, walking around work, strap hanging, maybe quite a bit of stress and nervousness, and you could well use up the amount you consume.

    LIR may well have retained a lot of water. Otherwise, as Lydia says, the maths does not add up.

    This economist was captured in WWII and noticed that on the starvation rations the Japanese fed them, the prisoners were all dying of malnutrition. He also worked out the prisoners were dying in descending order of height and predicted that as he was one of the shortest in the camp, he might just make it to the end of the war, and three and a half years later, he did.

    Poor kiwi isn't very bright.

    This is an electric heater. The light is on, no heat is coming out, but he thinks its a lit fire, so that's where he's sleeping. No one can convince him otherwise. When we've stopped laughing we'll turn it off.

    Nikks, they go back to court and get the bailiffs sent in. Bailiffs seize anything worth selling if they don't pay up.

    To declare someone bankrupt costs money, so they have to consider if it worth it. If it is done then the official receiver marches in and tries to get any assets of value and agree a repayment plan. The court debt is then one of many debts the accused may have, so they may join a queue of people waiting to be paid out.

    Another option may be to get a charging order on their property, if they have one.

    Will delete once you've read.

    Similarly, one of firs relatives was accused repeatedly in her concentration camp of doing favours for guards. It caused as much bitterness as the rest of the whole saga for her. Years after the war it turned out she had PCOS type symptoms and it runs in firs family. Whether it was a genuine impact of hormones of pcos or guilt rejection I guess we'll never know.

    Dqwd...

    (Not entirely) random question: What happens if ....

    No idea. Sorry. The only time I had anything to do with a small claims court I was suing a company that could easily afford to pay me. Well, at the time. They nearly went bust later, but that was nothing to do with me. Hope somebody else can come along and answer your question. [X-posted with silvercar]

    Apropos of random hypothetical legal questions... what happens if a civilian witness in a court-martial is found to have perjured themself? Is it a crime? Would a civilian court be interested in convicting them for it? Because they couldn't be prosecuted in a court-martial, could they?

    (Nothing whatsoever to do with me personally - just arising from something fictional I came across that set me wondering.)
    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. (Link permitted by forum team)
    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.
