Only thing I found was a badly fitted phone system. This was not used, so I disconnected it, no improvement.Quote:

I have done, a 1989 Volvo 340. Could quite easily fit a starting handle, if I drill a hole in the radiator!Quote:

I've still got classic Minis, three of them. The oldest is a January 1962, had the car since 1968. It's got a 1275 cc engine in it. It would need a bit of work to get it roadworthy. Benefits, low classic car insurance, no road tax, MOT exempt, exempt from low emission charges (if car is registered).Quote:

Hi Alex, hope catty turns up as well !. I ve noticed before your kindness with cats and neighbours. b w
Yes, and it says a lot about a person who cares for all animals, and not just their own pets. Although I think it's a bit mean to expect Monster Cat to fit into that bath tub.
Thank you, you're very kind. I do try, I'm very trying!Quote:

Thank you, Monster cat did fit into a giant flower pot, this was last summer I think.Quote:

This guy really cares for cats, he even rents a flat for a stray cat and kittens.

They're very good at hiding away, shut the late Tiddles in my garage once.Quote:

A few dreamies in her weeble-mouse, and all was forgiven :)
Yeah women with weak bladders do have a habit of house spraying. An annoying habit[emoji23]
I thought that's what Tena Lady pants were for?:lol:
Marco.
You can see from his coat he's in good condition. Must have had a better offer yesterday.Quote:

I thought you got your supplies from Lidl, the ones labelled "Le Dix Dude" (grand).
Remember Billy Connolly's stand up about his giant incontinence pants, which he tied off at the ankles before going disco dancing? That was quality :D
Went to an engagement do last night, the disco was exceedingly LOUD.
The quality was fantastic, really clear and great extension top and bottom. Looked like some smallish pro monitors on stands, didn't go up close to look at then because it was TOO LOUD.
I hate it when you can't even have a conversation without shouting, even then I have always struggled to hear spoken (shouted) voice over the LOUD music.
I did voice my concerns to both of the couple and his mother, there were lots of young children there, I bet everyone has ringing ears this morning.
I couldn't stick it for more than 3/4 of an hour, my ears were beginning to ring after that time.
Did I say it was TOO LOUD :mental:
Possibly, but he's so wary of people, I don't think anyone could get near.Quote:

I'm very glad he/she came back, especially as they are so wary. It's a really nice moment when there is a improvement in communications, no matter how small.Quote:

Classic! Actually, one of the reasons why I'm into toilet humour is because it's a big Scottish thing. The fact is, most Scots find discussing piss, shit, male/female genitals, bodily functions and smut ENORMOUSLY funny!!Quote:

Have you ever watched the Scottish comedy series 'Two Doors Down'? If not, check it out. It's simply about everyday living for some middle-class couples in a posh part of Glasgow, although some their behaviour is distinctly 'unposh':eek::

Marco.
Managed to cut myself shaving. Not done that in decades. Here's a tip, don't buy Sainsbury's own brand disposable razors. Like shaving with a broken beer bottle.
tip, dont use disposable razors
Especially cheapo ones, only fit for shaving minges!;)
Marco.
They used to do a cheaper one than their own brand and they were excellent. So of course they discontinued them.
If you think I'm paying out a fortune for some fancy Gillette thing then you must be crazy. Never understood the fascination some blokes have with shaving and shaving 'products.' I'd grow a beard but it would be all grey and make me look about 90 years old. Plus they never suited me anyway. Skinny little blokes with beards just look wrong.
I did the same the other day, above my lip beneath the left nostril. Bloody sore it was!Quote:

Weird that's exactly where I cut myself too.Quote:

When they had those 'grow a beard' months a few years back some of the youths I know grew the most terrible looking beards ever - like something from an Edwardian costume drama. It wasn't a good look even in 1904 and it really isn't now.
I get it, but I doubt I'd have adopted that look, even had it been in fashion when I was a teenager, as I've always wanted to look young, even when I was young [plus my old man would've kicked my arse for going out looking like Catweazle], and now I'm older, I still like to look as young as possible (and dress that way, too), which is why I don't 'do' beards.Quote:

If you want to look as young as possible, when you're in your 50s and over, then stay clean-shaven and keep your hair (if applicable) as short as possible. Quite simply, there's nothing more ageing, aside from a bushy grey beard, as long (dirty and unkept) straggly grey hair, especially with a big bald patch in the middle!:D:doh:
Marco.
i use a good quality razor and the best blades. i also use a braun electric one every second day.
I used to have a number 2 all over but was told I looked like a thug so have it a little longer these days.Quote:

I seem happier with longer hair anyway (although I was at the hippodrome on champers in that pic)
