@Welsh Muffin cutting my hair today with the clippers, "oh shit" after the first run!

No guard fitted. Scalped!!!!

Been doing that for years.

Apart from the ears, I'm aerodynamic.

Easily solved if you take the guard off

Survived so far. (I started with one of the guards but I looked like a gooseberry so abandoned them and went unguarded and been doing that for years now. Saved a fortune. Eventually replaced the mains Wahl clippers with Wahl rechargeable. More convenient but the quality ain't the same).

True enough, even though I put mine on charge for the whole day it always sounds like it's going to die before finishing the job.
Still, it does let me cut my hair in the back garden which removes the need to clean up after.

The battery seems fine and it's v slow charging so should last a few years (if I'm right in my theory ). I get about 4 trims per charge and I oil the clipping bit with Wahl oil every time after. It just feels cheap and plastic-ey compared with the 25+ years old one. I sometimes use that one just for the buzz - literally. The sound takes me back to haircuts when I was a kid - those old ones probably lasted longer than the barbers.

The NHS app rocks, seriously better than having to shlep down to the surgery.

Not when it doesn't effing work!

My neighbours selling up has bmp, well maybe just slightly upset by it would be better. They've lived next door for over 20 years and we know them and their extended family well. They're a really lovely family! Never know who you're going to get next do you!

When Harold and Hilda next door sold up, we found out it was a couple (wife a New Yoiker) and three teenagers moving in

They've been brilliant

Think positive. You might get a lovely Yorkshire family move in

I did warn you that leaving that fucking hideous scooter out on the drive would have consequences, didn't I?


Anyhow, maybe now is the time to dig up that pampas grass from the front lawn. You're getting on a bit.

Crikey - does he have the pineapple garden pots/decorations as well

I only found out on Sunday that 'the pineapple' was a thing. How naïve am I?

Friends went on a cruise and it was the topic of conversation at the dinner table one evening. Does raise the question, do swingers carry around a book of pineapple stickers to place on their cabin door? Or does only a fresh pineapple count?
And is it still a thing on Saga cruises? I mean, that's an image I don't need to dwell on....

And apparently I need to be on the lookout for people with upside-down pineapples in their shopping trolley when doing the weekly shop.

I found out about pampas grass and pineapples on an expat FB group - it's a straight group, not a swingers group (so far! ).

Funniest comments were those who were horrified that their favourite shirt/dress/shoes/handbag etc had pineapples on them So, pretty sure it doesn't have to be fresh!

No idea about the stickers though. But I will be careful not to buy any clothes/accessories with pineapples on now

My suggestion was to buy a book of pineapple stickers and to randomly stick them on cabin doors during the night.

Should get all the passengers well acquainted.

TBF, I'd do that just for the laughs!! I'm sitting here sniggering at the thought

Not pineapples, but I bashed on a load of doors on the Hull-Zubrugge ferry a few years back. It was to confuse some exchange students. I bashed the doors and then waited by the lift to watch the fun. They all accused each other.

Today I finally tried again with the VPN stuff

Signed up (can cancel if it doesn't work etc etc)

Found the discovery+ page - managed to sign in (using a different email address, they must remember ones connected to previous attempts )

Page doesn't play the game. I'm bored already - currently chatting with a 'bot' on the VPN page

AND - finally tried to put WhatsApp on my iPad

Can only find WhatsApp Web and half the screen is lost due to adverts - I have to pay a subscription to clear the ads.


Thing is, I'm a dick on this stuff. It's not 'that' important to have WhatsApp on the pad, just handy - if they make it difficult to use I'll just delete it.

But, today is not a good day for techie stuff

There isn't a dedicated Ipad app for WhatsApp and the web solution is crap IMHO.

Whatever solution I've downloaded it is indeed crap. Big piles of steaming doodoo!!
