RE: I've got a couple of

Quote:
I've got a couple of force fields protecting my eyesight :)


Dark ones that you hang off your ears to stop you squinting or...? oh. No I'm not commenting on your squint. It's quite charming, really. It's forcefields. They give me headaches. So do transparent ones. In fact anything balancing on my face gives me a headache. It's the concentration needed to keep stuff there and the psychological trauma wearing my first pair inflicted on me when I was four...

Quote:
Was this before or after the altercation with the brick wall, and is there any link between the two occurrences?


They were definitely cosmically linked, because If I'd continued into the wall, instead of lurching round it at the last available moment, as I did, it would probably still be out there... flying around like MAGIC'S hummingbirds. The flying thing, people, not the wall. Unless of course, it had also been in the middle of texting someone, lurched left as I lurched right, and lost because of the size differential.

Quote:
And can we define "small flying thing" Midge, fruit fly, Bee, Robin, Pigeon, Airbus A318?


I'd go for a species early in your list. My ears were relatively near by. They would have picked up the latter pre-impact I'm sure. Defining precisely what, is where things get more difficult though *troubled frown* It smeared easily across my face according to one eye witness is all I know for sure.

Unfortunately, no baking yesterday. But I do appreciate all the volunteers for taste testing.


Just as well ... once Mike moved on from scones and started banging on about his favourite sponge, the queue turned into a bit of a brawl.

They are called eyebrow extensions and the process is called eyebrow threading.


And then you can have vertical stripes put in! I know because a friend's son had that done to one eyebrow, so not just a girly thing, no... and it looked really good :) He did the stripes himself with fishing line I think. Or was it a spring? I'm still working on getting one long one across my face though, mainly because plucking them makes me sneeze. Try it and see, specially with tweezers. Seemed very suspicious to me on the few occasions I did, so I don't. And if you leave them to grow wild and woolly, there really is no better way of announcing your imminent arrival somewhere.

*ignore everyone suddenly to watch Bill's clip* :)))

RAC looks very nice, TL

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Annoying as it is, I'd rather

Annoying as it is, I'd rather have rain on my glasses than my face on a brick wall. The biggest problem is that the former can possibly lead to the latter.

All right, off to Seti where I haven't been in a few days.

Ah. I grew up as the fifth of five kids so [ kicking vocal module down an octave and hitting the gravelly switch* ] :

Cheers, Mike.

Well, I went to my email first, but now I'm at Seti and just popping back here to borrow the time lapse link from myself.

Hmm would he be one of the green spiky hair persuasion as well?

OK, provided you sit still long enough ..... What? oh sorry you meant me!

Eyelashes are funny things, some women have them so thin they look like they have been shaved off and replaced with a single stroke of a brown pencil, then we have men where you could grow potatoes in them!
