How are we getting through it?

[Techno]

Whoa !!

That does NOT sound fun, Steve ! 

With Nobby's post about his local model shop 'opening' again....What other shops are folk waiting for, to open again ?

I want a haircut !!

Cheers - Phil

[Macsen Wledig]

dont need a haircut here 

[Techno]

You're lucky 

I dread to think how long it will take, to even get an appointment, once all the poodle parlours are open again.....certainly over here.

Cheers - Phil

My local's going to be re-opening "soon", but there's a note in the window saying that prices will go up to cover their extra costs

[Techno]

And the fact that they won't be able to have as many folk in 'as normal', Martyn ?

I also want our local electrical shop open.....very useful for all the obscure watch batteries...and just about everything else electrical.
The opticians....that's another one....a little 'trophy' shop in Cardigan.....Be able to get a new watch strap from them.

Cheers - Phil

I want a haircut !!

Can't you get the bloke who's coming to shear your sheep to do yours as well?

[Techno]

No.....Dave's clippers are far too big !! 

Cheers - Phil.

I'm fine. thank you for asking.

I think I may have to go back to the office this week, but there's not a huge imperative. I thank Milady's Rosiest Cheek* that I have a hobby that is so absorbing, yet allows me to stay at home. Extrovert acquaintances are chewing the curtains and desperate to join a throng - any throng. I am doubly blessed by Milady's Opulent Bounty** in that my job allows me to work from home with almost no problems. I should also give praise to Milady's Mastery*** of Scrabble and other Word Games for this Forum as an outlet for whatever small desire I have to communicate with others of my ilk.****

I can always while away the time phoning Techno and telling him that I am from his bank and he needs to give me his account number and pass code before thieves steal everything.  

Good of you to ask, Lemmey. How's everything with you?

Thanks for asking!

Your Facebook posts are a constant source of entertainment, Mr. Lemmy.
I do plan to go to the barber come July for an estimate.

Hope others are well and as sane as their disposition allows.

[Raider4]

Bit bored, technically working from home, but there's not that much to do (which is a bit worrying). Missing the office environment, if not the commute.

Not much hobby-ing going on - can't seem to get myself motivated to do owt.

Bought myself a father's day treat off of ebay - an old Hornby steam engine that I wanted to get ~25 years ago. Now I can afford it, but currently have no where to run it. I can just look at if for now.

Hope everyone's okay.

I let my wife cut my hair and beard at the weekend. She did a good job, much cooler now without the equivalent of a medium sized dog covering my face and head.

That is a suitably epic beard though and should not be touched by a razor!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

A razor would have NO effect !

Hey, d_Guy, I hear Marvel are looking for someone to play Odin in the next Thor film.

They need to be mature, to look good in a beard, have gravitas and a commanding presence. They need to be charismatic and exude an animal charm. Women need to see them as dangerous but are inevitably drawn to them.




Do you think Gerard Butler would be interested?
