Any links? Also, why do minor bumps and grazes hurt so much more when you're cold? The heating turned off during the night and I barked my ankle when getting up. Victims of the Inquisition didn't suffer so much. 12 hours ago, Stellaboz said: 12 hours ago, BigFatTabbyDave said: It may be difficult to believe, all things considered, but I've never heard the Spot the Loony song.

DiegoDiego Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Old women get purple rinses because as you get older your eyesight deteriorates and whites appear yellow. Purple is the complimentary colour to yellow so when they dye their hair purple it appears white to them, not the piss yellow they normally observe in the mirror.Short hair is an easy one. Hair is a reflection of one's health and a person with shoulder length hair is effectively displaying two years' worth of their medical history (which is why they test hair samples for drug use and why Britney shaved her head). As we get older our hair, somewhat like our skin, turns from soft and shiny to wiry and dull. Cutting your hair short helps disguise how old/unhealthy you are by putting less of it on display.It's also why women often cut their hair short after giving birth as the stresses of child birth and rearing have an adverse effect on their hair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds absolutely mental but, considering your second paragraph is reasoned and makes sense, you've got me wondering if there might not be something to it. I intend to start approaching ladies with rinses to tell them their hair doesn't actually look like piss. This insanity must end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra points if you have one that can have Spotify (or suchlike) on it. Can anyone point me in the direction of something? Quite pricey but this seems to do what you are after. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0821QBT1D/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_YyAsEbRY1PADN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark glasses were in evidence at that week's TOTP appearance to hide the damage. Interesting fact - although I've heard a few people say they were not a bad live act, they also got booed (rather than bottled) off stage when they played our local Prison Officers' Club in the early nineties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’d like somewhere with a view over golf course and Firth of Forth/Aberlady Bay, then Craigielaw Golf Club at Aberlady is worth a look. Open to public but might be worth booking a table as it’s pretty busy at weekends. They do a great Sunday carvery.https://www.craigielawgolfclub.com/restaurant/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
