Local college does hair training of which a mate of mine teaches a wee bit.

Anyway they offer haircuts* for £3, if any of you know me I'm not bothered what my face & head look like so thought I'd help out and donate my bonce.

Well £3 turned into £1 and I left with a wonky hair-do. The grin ? The look on everyones face when I said 'yeah do what you want'

Poor lass was sweating in fear 😅

😅 I don't think I've ever posted a picture of my 'normal' self, never mind a slightly wonky headed version.

I like a Dutch TV programme called Spoorloos. It is about person wanting to trace their natural parents. Sometimes these person are adopted, other times they do not know who one of their parents are (usually dad). Usually the person featured live in The Netherlands.

The last programme was partly about a Colombian woman who had been adopted at the age of two. The investigations managed to trace the mother of the woman. They shot the video of the woman's first visit to her natural mother. It was in an illegal settlement outside a large city.

What made be smile? The fleeting glims glimpse of a car (blue with a white roof)in the closing shots of this video.  The first few scenes are shown to give you some idea of the terrible living conditions of this settlement. There is no sound.

Get an AC Electric Invac.......

technically I already do! or whats left of one! LOL

that trailer I own was at one point in time an AC Model 64, 72V electric invalid tricycle 

(in fact the main part of it that survives and forms the base of the trailer is what used to be the battery tray and rear half of the chassis  )

I don't get it either , restored it'll be a replica car with a few AC parts on it

The bloke across the road should be on here. He will have a go at anything... Last Thursday he discovered a water leak in his kitchen, turned off the water & set about finding the underground pipe. Not a fucking clue does he have, his garden has trenches all over it, as if Time Team have paid him a visit. And a week on, he still has no water.

Living, as we do, in a terrace flat.... Street parking is the norm, however 'neighbourly courtesy' applies = a cars gap usually for me to SKWEEZZE into. Quite adept at the reverse slalom (2foot either end).....

The gap looks massive.  An Omega could fit.

Watching Moonraker on ITV 4.

I have realised that Jaws is the most useless Henchman ever.

In fact I wouldn't pay him in washers.

[wuvvum]

You don't need to pay him, just give him the occasional Sherpa van to chow down on and he'll be quite happy.
