Apparently my dad never went bald but he did always say that he had a 'wide parting'. His three brothers also had wide partings. Dad could have grown a beard but never did.
Adam I totally agree but then their big journalist egos must be fed. Personally I see no point in the journalistic point scoring where they are trying to out ego each other and I think they should cancel these pointless question and answer sessions once and for all. Needs to be balance - governments must always be held to account - but there has to be a better way.
we have been around this place and also had Espresso and pastry at the oldest Cafe in The Rocks I think it was called. This was before we were confined on that cruise liner. Stefan
Annoyingly, I am the only member of the wide-parting brigade in my family. Still having reached my age, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Both of my grandfathers died with as fuller head of hair as any man of advanced years could hope for, but both got silver hair at a pretty young age. Definitely 'silver' as opposed to simple grey. I'm forty-two at the end of the week and have only a few shiny traces here and there, but the omens do not bode well. My young daughter laughs when she sees my schoolmates on the webcam as they're all at various points along the path of balding. She calls them 'egg men'.
Since all festivities have been cancelled on account of the Corona lock down, the villages and towns in NE Holland are now celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation by hoisting flags:
Activities to relieve 'lock-down' boredom: #1 Re-discover the night sky If you are getting bored watching the box, and maybe your WW2 research has hit a brick wall, then its a good time to look for other areas of interest, even if only in the short term. If you live in a densely populated area, you may not be able to get a clear view of the night sky. But maybe you could get out that old camera and take a few long exposure shots of the city skyline. If you're lucky enough to get a clear view of at least part of the sky, you may find a site like this one:- Which Planets Can You See Tonight? ...is able to help identify that bright looking object, based upon your location. Is it a star or is it a planet? If you have a reasonably good pair of binoculars, you may be pleasantly surprised by the level of detail that you can see when viewing the moon or even a few of the planets. Again, if you have a camera with a manual mode (typically a dSLR or Micro Four Thirds camera) you could experiment with long exposure photography, linking together time-lapse shots to form a video clip, or stacking shots to produce star trails. I had my first attempt at a star-trail photo last night and was surprise how far the stars 'moved' in a short space of time. I took 10 shots at 1 minute intervals and stacked them using the Gimp image editor (...other brands are available). This is a good time to enjoy the night sky because there are very few planes up there. Anything you see moving at speed will either be a satellite or little green men (...PC edit: male and/or female).
And not forgetting the "Dangerous Contacts" that were "taken" too. Then later, "healthy" sheep blood tested and found to have FMD antibodies (so had clearly had it and recovered, survived, got better) were "taken" as well! Hopefully it won't give the round faced chap north of the border any ideas. Unfortunately any possible "ahhh, less mouths to feed" idea has likely been in his mind already. Kind regards, always, Jim.
It had to happen................... The brewer of the Mexican beer Corona is suspending production because of the coronavirus pandemic. Coronavirus: Mexican brewer suspends Corona beer production
From a wagon drivers point of view. I was not asked to be a ( Key worker). Having said that: it is my job & one will get on with it like many others in my trade. The size of the vehicle is not up for debate. We are all delivering what is needed. I don't want a slap on the back!! I went to a company the other day & asked to use the toilet. Guess what he said- you can't! Well the turtles head was popping out. Just imagine trying to tell the chap / office staff that you need to do what you have to do. Even some of the lorry parks are not serving food. Some are doing take-aways. You can sack the motorway services. I will finish by saying that it is illegal for a company to refuse a driver to use a toilet. No wise cracks thanks. R Stuart.
That's a sod, Stuart... Even at the best of times many customers don't make life easy for drivers. I'm "on furlough'" at the moment (as the UK apparently now calls it) but if you can wangle a Belgium run when this is all over, there'll be a super fast off-load and coffee in a proper cup waiting for you . We take the piss out of lorry drivers in four or five languages too..
I left it too late (“I’ll go tomorrow” syndrome) and the local barbers had closed. Got myself a cracking little Wahl home hair cut clipper set from Argos online though. Best 11 quid I ever spent!
I used to watch this but got fed up with the same two teams reaching the final every year...I know, I’ll get my coat.
Could we perhaps start a "Home use of the tondeuse" thread ? I badly need a haircut too..All tips welcome
I really wish I was in the porn business. On-line viewing will be off the chart when this sexual distancing gets to 4 weeks and beyond!
Cut my hair today, what little I have left of it. My housemates said it looked actually looked pretty good. Eat your heart, Bobby Charlton.
