So much for the Overseas Service!

@JohnnyO - seems you don't understand the rules, let alone the variations! I expect Samantha could teach you a thing or two.

JohnnyO · Sunday August 30, 2015

Ah, Samantha, totally equipped to help an old duffer like me get his ambitions and his abilities confused.

Don't worry, people often confuse me with UK born and bred gentleman.

Today's shaving related noted happening. Proraso Green, when mixed very wet, makes for a great lather for straights/shavettes. In fact, best lather for straight razor shaving I've had so far.

DPTC · Sunday August 30, 2015

Funny you should mention that I had a shave this morning with Proraso Green as well! I never get the water-cream ratio right though, either too slippery or not enough!

Something I do when using a new software item is to do a 7 day stint with it to try and find it's foibles and get the best from it, perhaps something to consider?

DPTC · Sunday August 30, 2015

I shave every 3 days and in a rotation process between 2 other creams at the moment but may stick with the green til it gets cold!

Works well with some liver in there too, and a pile of creamy mashed spuds, with lashings of thick rich gravy made with the liver/bacon water

Didn't strawberries use to get irradiated before arriving at the supermarkets? I vaguely remember this being discussed on "Tomorrow's World" (but that could be a false memory). Seems it kept fresh fruit edible for much longer.
These days a punnet of strawberries from the supermarket seems to last about 1.5 days until it evolves a furry jacket of mould.

^ Another modern innovation is fruit that goes directly from 'under-ripe' to 'off' without passing through 'ripe'. Marvelous.

Ah, the ballad of the Rochdale Cowboy - right up there with The Man From t'Pru - Mr Harding was an absolute classic of the time; saw him back in the early '80s, backed by one Maartin Allcock, a great guitarist I saw many times with Fairport Convention before he was replaced by the utterly boring Chris Leslie (if you're a Fairport fan, you'll understand my chagrin at how they descended into twee-ness after Allcock's departure)
