Glasses or contact lenses?

The biggest thing is the not suupose to wash your hair for 3 or 4 days

Do you think swimming goggles will help me get around this problem?
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 3 Feb 2011, 10:18, Reply)

Maybe
Or perhaps get someone else to do it for you.

It hurts getting it done, you know? Gaz me if you want to know the full horror!

Or you could just watch videos of it on youtube
which is also a good way to lose weight - I certainly didn't want to eat my lunch after a couple of vids.

That is because
they are firing a LASER IN TO YOUR EYE.
(berk, Thu 3 Feb 2011, 10:48, Reply)

"... in the past decade scientists developed the laser, an electronic appliance so powerful that it can vaporize a bulldozer 2,000 yards away, yet so precise that doctors can use it to perform delicate operations to the human eyeball, provided they remember to change the power setting from "Vaporize Bulldozer" to "Eyeball."

Do you know the rhythm of the Yorkshire TV ident tune is the same as when you say "Ilkley Moor Bar Tat"?

So it is.

My favourite was always the Anglia ident. That silver horse meant one of two things. Either the quiz of the week, or Tales of the Unexpected.

A whole BBQ and a selection of wines

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 3 Feb 2011, 10:08, Reply)

I reckon getting a chinese takeaway meal and couple of beers in would be ideal
but it would piss off everyone else in the place. Plus when the lights came up you'd be covered in szechuan.

no, I mean before the film starts
when the lights are still up and all the teenagers are piling in and kicking the back of my seat.

I usually have to go on my own, so I don't have someone to talk to.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 3 Feb 2011, 10:13, Reply)

Oh I seeeee.
Thank God for technology.
When I was in my teens I'd have brief moments of awkwardness when sitting in a cafe on my own. Even though I had a newspaper, I'd suddenly become all self-aware, like "Argh I'm in public on my own, what do I do with my hands?? Oh, I'll eat my quiche really quickly then get on my my tea-for-two-for-one."
It happens rarely if ever now, but at least I have a phone to absorb it.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 3 Feb 2011, 10:07, Reply)

Spira?
I don't remember that one.

Cadbury also used to do a bar of milk and white chocolate. That was pretty cool. I like all my chocolate at once. Don't try to make me choose.

A Marble?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 3 Feb 2011, 10:15, Reply)

Oh man what was that called...
I adored those. Marble? No. Hmmm...
Spira was two fat twisty straws of Cadbury's chocolate. I had my first one the morning after the Kings Cross fire.

What are your views on the green/red chili debate?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 3 Feb 2011, 9:56, Reply)

I don't do chillis
or peppers. I can't even be in the same room as them. Oddly enough, I can even tell when they have BEEN in a room. There's just something about them that really turns my stomach.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 3 Feb 2011, 10:06, Reply)

I used to be like that.
I found them squeaky.
Then I tasted beef green peppers in blackbean sauce when I was a kid, and it became my favourite meal for a long time. And still my most favourite chippy option.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 3 Feb 2011, 10:08, Reply)

Nope.
although I once ate a stuffed pepper when I was in Germany, because I was visiting someone's granny and she was so proud to be hostinga foreigner.

You can't upset someone's granny.
