My parents used to have a brush thing. Kind of like a hair brush on one side and like felt/velvet on the other. It worked really well both on the cat and on the furniture. I assume they are a thing that you can buy, I dont remember them inventing, developing and going through the R&D. I expect they just bought it in woolies

[flumpsy]

^ no worries. It needed the two sides. One loosened them and then the smoother side dragged the hairs off the fabric.

Why is the big internet (ie broadband) broken again?
I suppose it is 3:47am, and if I phoned up they'd take one look at my web history and suggest perhaps I need a break from it anyway...

[anxiouslondoner]

More importantly, why is it 3:47am, and why am I eating ciabatta instead of enjoying the temporary oblivion of slumber?

Mac Demarco? I'll go with your Mum!

(Seriously though, sorry that you don't feel up to going )

I'd imagine Mac Demarco fans are quite chilled out and it wouldn't be a pushing-and-shoving kind of gig. I went to a standing up gig for the first time in Bristol in August and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. In my head I thought I'd get pushed about, but everyone was respectful of each other's personal space.

Sorry I forgot to reply
I know, I also did a bit of research and it looks too much for me.
Yep Mac I'm really gutted, but she will be having a spare ticket ha!

Ah cool, who did you see? Yeah sometimes it's the case of feeling less anxiety in a big crowd, because you feel less noticeable, if that makes sense?

[flumpsy]

Can you order from a drive through on foot ? Or a bike ? Or a skateboard ? Or rollerboots and hotpants ?

I require a burger, it is vital,but they dont call it stabby chicken for no reason I really would rather not venture inside at 11pm. Obviously I cant drive.

Can I just join the queue in a hi-viz or something ?

[kirbycrackle]

^ call a takeaway ? Stabby burger sounds a bit too...well, Stabby.

[flumpsy]

^ Dont fret lad, I think its named mainly because its opposite stabby park. Where all the stabbings were.

Although I suspect the KFC car park stabbings may have influenced it a bit. Who can say.

I want it fast and nobody can find my door so when I do eventually pluck up the courage to answer I see 4 heads along the road sticking out where the twat has knocked previously. I guess, off to look on just eat.

[kirbycrackle]

^ or stick that kitten you've semi adopted in a seeded bun! Haha.

[flumpsy]

^ Eat a kitten are you mad ? That is the second last on my list, I have a long way to go before I get to kitten.

Ok, chicken ordered for delivery at 12:20..... and now we wait..... Thats what we do.

Can't you just turn mobile data off in settings? Mine is always off unless I need it when I'm out. Maybe too many people are sharing wifi? Or am I misunderstanding?

[Clementine]

^ It does seem odd if nobody else at home is having the same trouble.

I had a few too many Reece's Cups the other day and bought two tickets to see Mac in London! I think it might be seated, but there wasn't a seat number on the tickets. I might email the venue tomorrow to see if it's seated or standing otherwise I'm going to worry about it.

Now I just need to convince my sister that she wants to go with me!

I went to see Lucky Chops. It was on a boat call Thekla and it was quite a small venue, so wasn't too scary!

Thanks. Ha that's a good idea
Oh wow lucky you, Reece's cups change lives! haha! I hope you have a lovely time, and that you can convince your sister to join you!

A gig on a boat sounds wonderful!

That's what I used to do before I moved (seems alright in my new place). I would be video chatting and it'd be running off my data instead of my wifi

Just found out that interior L plates are legally iffy. Any recommendations for magnetic ones that won't fly off? The Le Yogi ones I've seen have good reviews.

[flumpsy]

^ I used halfords budget ones, nice soft magnets to keep your paintwork in tact, I wouldnt go on the motorway with them but then thats illegal I assume but they were fine up to about, erm, 15 mph... Yeah, sod it, ignore me

It depends on the curves of the car I guess, I refuse to let a car with any curves in my stable.

Unless you have very dark tints like all the cool cats then I would just use sticky inside window jobbies.

[Oddity]

Yeah my first thought was Halfords but they look worse than fridge magnets

I don't want stick on ones as they'll leave marks And it seems the interior clingy ones can leave you vulnerable in an accident as the other party can claim they couldn't see them (from sun/reflections on the window)

[flumpsy]

^ I meant the window sucker ones, are you planning on having a crash ? If you are I would say dont use them. Hang on, shouldnt you already have L plates ?

Worse in what way ? The magnets dont need to be strong if they cover a large area. You are welcome to mine if you want em. Probably the cost of a large letter stamp. Although once I know your address you will get swat teams, pizzas, random escorts and DFS deliveries any time of the day or night. Its just a thing I do, I am funny like that, quirky.

[Oddity]

I'm using the ones you stick on the inside of the window with friction or whatever it is Any interior ones can be dodgy if you're in an accident

I've heard of them flying off over 50, and I think my brother had that problem too Just the pizzas and escorts please

Does anyone know why someone would have half hairy legs and half smooth legs? Like you could draw a line straight down the middle of them, hairs on one side and none on t'other.

I can't find a decent answer to this question, I've seen some suggestions of nerve damage or heart trouble but no one seems sure.

[Bambos]

^ No, more like a vertical line down the leg. So the inside of the legs are hairy but the outside not so.

[Clementine]

^ from socks rubbing?

[Appear]

^^ I've seen that before. I think it can just be the way the hair grows for some people. A little like how some people have entirely hairy torsos, partly hairy torsos, etc.

[flumpsy]

I have totally bald smooth patches on the outside of each leg. Totally smooth even though as a flump the rest of me is kinda hairy. Not the whole side just a patch.

[Bambos]

Thanks for the replies. Wanted to check I wasn't a freak of nature and/or dying. I will try to see the positives. I could be a half decent swimmer.

[Bambos]

^^ Sheffield.

[Bambos]

I'm so sorry to hear that.

[Bambos]

I jest. Lived in Leeds for 2 weeks and Sheffield for 4 years so I'm a bit biased. Both have their merits in all honesty places are incredibly subjective I find
