It's Monday, the weekend has been and gone again.
Pull up a chair and tell me all about yours.
I'll go put the kettle on.

Morning, lustful one
I awoke with a sore head this morning, so I'm not in the best of fettle. How about you?

I'm good.
I saw my Irish man on Friday and didn't flash him, so all is well.

The crazy temp is due in at 10 so hopefully I'll be entertained for the rest of the day.

Sorry you're not feeling too good :(

Glad you had a good night with the bloke
I'll bet he was slightly disappointed by your lack of exposed boobage this time though!

Once my drugs kick in (just antihistamine and decongestant, nothing class A!) my head will be fine. Just in time for my boss to come in and screw it up again.

It was good.
He was very chivalrous which isn't what I'm used to so it made a lovely change.

Ahhh those pesky bosses making your head all hurty. Lets just have a mass walk out from work today and have an adventure day!

An adventure day
sounds just the business. I was just thinking when I was in the shower this morning that I've only been back at work a week, yet it seems like ages. Whereas I had two and a half weeks away on holiday and it flew by.

WTF is that all about? Why can't it be the other way round? :(

Sat: Visit from the outlaws. Visited friends. Booze.
Sun: Packed for the Lakes. Went out for lunch. Booze.

Today ...... Remarkably chipper and loving the idea of looking out over Helvellyn in about 5 hours.

I hate how fast holidays go!
Sometimes I feel like I spend my whole week waiting for the weekend and/or Holidays. I'm off to Amsterdam in 3 weeks and I can't wait. I know my time there will fly though! All this waiting for fun makes me feel like I'm wishing my life away!

It was a good date.
He's a very funny man and I loved the banter. I'm sure i'll see him again but in all honesty I kind of sort of ummm have my eye on someone else. So I think I'll just keep this a very casual getting to know each other thing before I rush in and ruin everything.

I am having a good Monday Kaol, but that's mostly because I am off work. And I now only have 3 days to work, and after Thursday get to spend lots of time relaxing!

All that bad I guess, I just have a series of issues with Mondays:

I don't like getting up.
My job doesn't generate work for me over the weekend, so it's normally Tuesday before I have anything to do.
I'm fed up with my job, in general.
Also, I have a pulsating headache.

I guess I just like moaning. *shrugs*

Nope, I read Good Omens a while back, then recently read Neverwhere and Smoke And Mirrors (which I'd very strongly recommend, t'is a fantastic collection of odd short stories, might be good inspiration for you).
Finished Smoke and Mirrors on Saturday night, couldn't sleep, so last night when I couldn't sleep again I started American Gods.

Not ONLY is it a Monday, but it's also the start of the month, which makes it a double hard bastard of a day in my book.

It's almost as bad as when you realise that Christmas Day is a Saturday, and therefore you're not really getting any extra time off of work.

Anyway, morning all :)

PoD - You might be right... I've stopped smoking again (I only seem to smoke when I'm in certain situations), so that might explain the supressed rage.

You win, that one sounds far weirder than mine.

Gets your teeth full of bits, right enough. But it's good.

Sweetcorn is a useless foodstuff, the human digestive system can't process it, so it just sits in skips at sewage farms awaiting transport to the local cattle...

With respect - bollocks!

The human digestive system can process it fine. It's full of sugar and stuff. It's only the fibrous component that goes right through, and that's good for you as it keeps your gut healthy.

Sweetcorn
Right...
K2k6 - You're right.
'Red - You're half right.

Humans can digest sweetcorn (although it's disgusting, and I don't know why you'd want to).

Humans can't digest the outer part of the sweetcorn "skin".
This skin is high in coloured compounds, yellow pigments that give it the classic "Horrible Yellow".

You eat the corn, chew it, pass it through your body, digesting the inside of it, the skin will stay mostly intact.

You shit out the normal brown log, and those yellow skins have to go somewhere...
They're studded through the turd like mixed peel in a Christmas pudding *shudders*

So down it all goes to the sewage plant and the fun begins...

Do you find taking vitamins
Has any health benefits that you can noticeably see/feel? Just curious to these things. Especially multivitamins which are a load of crap as the body cannot absorb certain things together - but on the flip side have had people who were always really sick start taking Echinacea and not being sick. Which is a question of was it helping or was the placebo effect in full force.

I started taking them as I was lacking in iron, no matter what I ate, and the doctor said the multi-vits + iron might help.

Now instead of bleached white, I am a healthy creamish colour, and feel a lot less lethargic compared to pre-vits.

Spinich...
I assume some of you will know this, some of you won't...

"... the iron content [of spinich was] mistakenly reported ten times the actual value, a value that was rechecked during the 1930s, where it was revealed that the original German scientist had misplaced a decimal point in his calculations. In truth, spinach actually has about the same iron content as a lot of other vegetables, and even less than others. Cooked broccoli and cauliflower, for example, have almost double the iron content of spinach."

I did stop off somewhere else as well, for work, but even so, seems a waste of a day.

The Results are In!
The findings, from two experiments, are thus:

1) I can fit an entire packet (25g) of Hula Hoops in my mouth if I crunch them up. This is quite nice.

2) Accounting for whole hoops, I achieved a maximum load of 21 hula hoops, mouth open.

3) To close the mouth, hula hoop load must be reduced to 17.

I'm sure that these experiements have value for humanity.

He always seems to shave just as it starts to soften (because it also starts to itch). If he shaved every day it wouldn't be so bad ....

It should stop itching. Then it's luberly.

proper beards for the win
mine is downy soft :-)

ask kaol, he's grabbed it.

and you get to refer to yourself as a beard-wearing gentleman.

I have to frequently explain to beard-sceptics that while growing a beard you go through the 3 stages of itchiness.

most people give up at the first stage, this is because they aren't real men.

some give up at the second stage and this is because they have no willpower.

few will give up at the third stage. there are a myriad of reasons for this.

but last the full course and the world is your mollusc*

Might well be motivation enough to grow mine back to proper (short) beard length.

Just need to keep my tash a wee bit shorter than before to stop it pissing off my upper lip.

Fine thanks. Have spent the weekend mostly enjoying the weather and messing about with my PC.

Have yet to hear from the companies I interviewed at so at least I know I've not been instantly turned down.

Re facial hair:
Every so often, I grow a goatee. Sometimes, it looks good but requires more maintenance than the rest of my hair. I then usually get fed up of it, shave it off, and realise I look so much younger without one.

BTW: For some reason, I cannot grow sideburns.

the top lip thing is annoying. that's the bit I trim most often

it's the only bit that annoys Mrs V too.

I love my beard though.

shaved it off for charity last year. it was fucking horrible. I didn't recognise myself for 2 weeks

Edit: hairy chest too. don't mind that too much. was weird though. I used to be really blonde and not able to grow a beard, no hairy chest etc. then when I was about 19 (I think) my hair changed colour to a mdeium brown, my chest hair grew and I started having to shave more often

When I was about 8
I was looking forward to growing facial hair, so I could sculpt it in weird and wonderful shapes (eg. spiral sideburns). This urge didn't last until puberty, but I've been known to be 'creative' when shaving off my many goatees. What I did was to basically divide it into mini-beards by shaving channels of clear skin through my chin-forest.

As promised
Me pulling a silly face displaying my beard at the weekend. The next day I trimmed it down to Stubbeard length because it was irritating my upper lip. For some reason it didn't occur to me to trim just that part.

Not anywhere near as cool as Vipros' though.

:edit: The more I look at it the more I think it was a Stubbeard even at that length. Sure was soft though.

Looks even better in that picture
I'm jealous. I might have to start growing my facial hairstuffs in a cooler way.

Subject changage: I've wanted to look into my family tree for quite a while and hope to find Scottish roots (I'm an Anderson you see) because I like the idea of having a legitimate reason for wearing a kilt and the associated swooning that would ensue!

I suppose it's only a bit of a subject change as Scottish people are renowned for having beards.

Well she said she wasn't comfortable discussing it. Perhaps she'd prefer posting a video diary of her shaving habits?

Family trees
My nan and grandad did that recently, they went all over the country, was pretty cool to hear the stories they had.

I've digitised their findings into both an image and a spreadsheet style document.
(Ethelred is watching cheese grow, Mon 1 Sep 2008, 16:24, Reply)
best thing about a good long beard?
you have to shave much less because no one notices the difference on the non-bearded parts

ok, enough beard talk, even for me!


I need to speak to my grandfather about our family tree, he's done a hell of a lot of research into it (good resources, he was a county librarian)

would be interested in my mum's side too though, but there isn't really anyone left to talk to about it...

Shaving is a pain
armpits, legs and making sure the ladygarden is kept trimmed and neat and tidy.

I always miss a bit on my calf though when doing my legs. Every single friggin time.

*has no holdups about keeping herself looking grrrreat*

Vipros that's a very rugged picture.

Oh are we not talking about shaving any more? I have been distracted by gazs...

I'm back
and I appear to have missed a discussion about beards and other body hair.

So - my tuppenceworth:

I don't have a beard because I shave every day but I am otherwise quite hirsute for a fair haired chap. Which isn't really a good thing, but I'm damned if I would ever have my back waxed.

usually I am but my boss has been mean and made me come in today. So i only had a one-day weekend.

'Waxing' and 'gentle'
do not usually appear in the same sentence, HLT.

*suspects a ruse*

I can't see how having several thousand well-rooted hairs pulled out within a fraction of a second can be 'gentle'.

*cringes*

Edit - a one day weekend is rubbish. Do you get another day off this week in lieu?
