Lol at Malvern. That would be embarrassing. OT- but a close friend, also bald, and I had a drunken discussion. Would you rather stay bald or have a ginger mullet. Even really inebriated we both chose to stay bald ๐Ÿ™‚

People

...would be my answer, too. I can fathom just about anything else.

If I could grow a full head of hair I'd have a mullet more glorious than 80's Pat Sharpe, Gaz Topp and Swayze in Point Break combined. It would be a thing of utter beauty. Grown men would weep at the sight of it, knowing that they could never again see something so truly wondrous and women would faint in adoration.

Hang on! Aren't you that bloke that started a thread the other day after shaving off your somewhat spectacular beard?

If so, you don't have the face for a mullet. Or hair come to that.

Weirdly, I saw an ad for a TV show with someone claiming Prince was seen as the black Bowie.

I didn't watch the show...

Not recycling.

It's no effort and it might just do a smidge of good for the planet. So why do so many people willfully not do it?

It's a small thing but littering, especially from cars and I just don't get why folk do it yet I see an ever increasing amount of it every day and I really ****ing hate it to the point that I feel I'd have absolutely no qualms about taking my clenched fist and repeatedly punching the ****s that do it till their face is reduced to a bloody pulp.

I cycle to work, not very far mind you but it's 4 miles of very pleasant bimbling out of Kirkcudbright (Galloway) to my workplace nr to Twynholm, a really scenic cycle as I climb out of the town and look out over Kirkcudbright bay then progress through a section of enclosed tree lined road known as the beeches and every day I despair at the amount of discarded cans such as Red Bull, monster energy, coke and coffee cups, crisp packets, fish/chip wrappers and just about every imaginable detritus possible littering the verge of the road. Whilst passing all this roadside debris as I cycle to work I often have fantasies (genuinely I really do) of catching someone throwing rubbish out of their window and then finding them later, perhaps parked up in the town and I daydream of stuffing their discarded rubbish down their stupefyingly ignorant pugnacious orifaces till they choke to death on their own discarded rubbish.

I just don't understand why folk think it is ok to throw their used items, whatever they may be out of their car window.

One of these days I will catch someone doing it..... and I will manage to confront them.....and dependant on their response my actions may land me in court but it will be so ****ing worth it as I couldn't give a shit anymore, I see their rubbish every day day of my life littering the countryside around me..........I've had enough, I want my "Michael Douglas - Falling Down" moment

Oh and reading the title another way - tiny pops. With a 5 year and only Freeview it was a disaster when it was cut from my regional freeview listing ( I miss paw patrol as well if I am honest)

AC-DC

Me either! Electricity is utterly baffling.

And if you're on about the band - 4 good songs, 2 terrible singers, lots & lots of filler.

+1

also my wifes apathy to anything going wrong when travelling abroad and acceptance of airport rip-off prices. just packing now, suggested splitting the suitcases in case one gets lost, "nah cant be bothered doing that, never lost one yet". "until it happens of course". "shhhhh"
"you want me to have half the euros in case you lose your purse/bag?" "nah, itll be reet, never had me purse nicked yet". "until you do of course". "shhhhh....."
"im making some sarnies so i dont have to pay rip-off prices at the airport, want me to make you some?" "naaah, ill just buy somethings on the plane" grrrrrr......

she just wont play the game :-/

Putting a smaller, plastic bowl inside the kitchen sink. No one has ever given me a legitimate reason for this. All you've got is another greasy bowl that needs cleaning.

Stops you scratching an expensive, difficult to replace sink by washing your metal utensils in a cheap, easy to replace sacrificial basin?

It's a protective layer, like helitape or underpants.

they're also used to reduce the amount of water needed to wash up and still get a good depth of water to wash things in..

and theyre handy for filling with water and taking outside to wash your bike... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Must see TV, sure some shows are good but they're not as good as real life

That just poses the forget question of why you'd buy an expensive sink that's likely to get scratched when serving it's only basic purpose? I have a metal sink that copes just fine.

they're also used to reduce the amount of water needed to wash up and still get a good depth of water to wash things in..

I've never found that to be anything like the case. I use extra water cleaning off the plastic bowl.
