When you'd rather have an awesome nasal hair trimmer than an awesome wank.

 

I love my Snozzmaster 5000.

That looks pretty decent judging by the reviews. I need a new one myself as the one I've got, a Wahl is fucking hopeless.

Sore conk for a few days after use, last time I ended up looking like Karl Malden.

I don't know why I never thought of Panasonic, I've got a Panasonic shaver and it's fantastic so I think I'll order one.

Ta for posting the link.

Why does it NEED to go in a ladies handbag and how hairy is she?

Beat me to the question. It must suddenly become unkempt during a shopping trip.

You never know when an unsightly nasal hair will rear its ugly head.

I buy the 3 month versions. Too much for a yearly.

My eldest informed me that he had some cider yesterday and enjoyed it.

It might not be all bad. I used to get pissed on Cider as a 16/17 year old and it put me off it for the rest of my life since.

I remember knocking Blackcurrant,from a vodka and black,all over a girl we were chatting to while she was drinking it. Safe to say the conversation never got much further after that.

There's a blast from the past.

Jennings: Jack! What's going on here. I am hitting fast forward on the remote control, yet the TV is clearly rewinding. Look! It's happening time and again.

Jack: You have the remote controller upside down, dad.

I bet she was wearing a white top or trousers as well. Every. Fucking. Time.

Don't remember those. Diamond white was a cunt of a drink though. Cider that's never even seen an apple. They actually reduced the alcohol content eventually, but during my student days we found a corner shop that still had a plentiful supply of the old full strength product. Result.

The lesbians will be inviting him over instead soon

Just had a text from my brother, he's round at his sister in law's atm, her fella Danny had a heart attack and died at 8 o'clock this morning. Completely out of the blue. 45 years old!

 

No fucker had a good word for him tbh, but I always really liked him, got on well.

 

Only saw him on Saturday, captaining the local cricket team 2nd xi to victory. He dropped 3 easy catches to go along with his 3rd duck in as many games, so they're hardly gonna miss his runs or his fielding, his captaincy was highly questionable as well tbh but ffs, 45 years old and dead as fuck.

 

Rest in peace Danny boy, fare thee well mate.
