I'm from Yorkshire - of course this stuff speaks to me! :))
That last bit is encouraging at least!
Although I adjourned to work the first day, yesterday I called out as most of the roads were pretty bad. Several vehicles were reported off the road.
However, I'm not going to whine about that.
Here's my official whining and ranting:
My barber is out of commission for awhile due to the icy roads and will re-open in due time.
So I went somewhere else today just to clean my taper. Meaning, don't actually cut it, just taper the nape (and a little around the ears).
The guy squared it (and kind of messed up one side). He didn't show me the back before I left, so I didn't realize until I got home.
If I wanted it to look like Connery's in NSNA I would've brought a photo of Connery in NSNA.
Effing A, Connery's toupee in that film looked amazing compared to this!
No, actually this looked closer to that weird haircut Bogart gets in the opening of TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE.
We gotta fix it. So I drove 25 miles on these icy roads to a backup barbershop......and I got there just as they closed.
Well, there's one more place. This was my last shot, and the last available barber shop in my area. It's also a very old school classic barbershop.
Luckily, a stylist who has occasionally cut my hair, was there and she was able to fix it.
Now it no longer looks like Bogie's odd haircut in TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE but closer to KING OF THE UNDERWORLD.
Happy ending.
Something like that ;-)
nah, medical check-up. I won't bother you with the details but they've got very good doctors here, far better than in my own supposedly western superior country. They found a problem in 5 minutes flat that they couldn't find in my own country for the last 20 years, and has had major reorcussions on my life as it was a major reason for me not to persue my dream job.
So yeah, there's that.
and yes there's an international crisis, but there's also just people living their lives here. Nothing sinister.
You should start a 'Barber comments.... while you watch!' thread, @ToTheRight 😅
Haha! Great idea, @Mathis1
... and found a woman that had just finished her business. Why do people do that (leaving the toilet door unlocked while they hit the porcelain express, I mean, not, well, the other thing) ? Is it too much of a hassle to turn that little knob in the "closed" position ? No, really, I don't understand that. And it's not the first time this has happened. Nor, in all likelyhood will it be the last.
Perhaps some people are in such a hurry they can't even lock the door? ;-)
I've had that happen to me a few times too. Both as the person opening the door and the person on the toilet seat. All I can say is that it's very embarrassing and sometimes people simply forget to lock the door or think they have locked it. I do take extra special care with locks now though to stop any recurrence of this sort of thing as it's very unpleasant to have happen.
You just assume it's open I think. And then you get a shock! :)
...or stun gas. Effective range, about five feet.
The latest thing from Q Branch. And all attributed to natural causes. ;)
Flying out of Ukraine today. Gives a very sad and double feeling. Almost as if we're betraying our friends.
If you don t like Thursday, there are six other days to enjoy.
As it turns out, this friday is as shitty as thursday. We're trying to get friends and family out, but for now we can't, for all sorts of reasons. It's not easy to sit at home in a safe country when the cities where friends and family live are beeing bombed, or, as now is the case in Kiev, beeing invaded.
I understand. It must be stressful. Sorry about my flippant remark, I didn t know what you were referring to.
My brother has another way of seeing it, fatalistic yet positive: "Life's a bitch and then you die. But I'm alive, so life's my bitch."
It's OK, I understand. My world has turned from very bright to very dark overnight. I can't (nor want) everyone to join in. Now my mother in law is hiding in a bunker while the fighting rages outside. It's effin 2022. I know politics are not allowed here, but f-bomb putin.
@CommanderRoss, I will join you in f-bombing putin. I'll even add that America's favourite self-serving talking orange with his complimenting remarks towards putin has now, hopefully, lost every bit of credit with his followers. But most of all, friend, I truly hope your family will get out of this unscathed. Please keep us posted.
