Shotgun Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Are you safe if you say you've friends in Austin then? I've got into trouble every time I've been in America, gently teasing about politics. It's so hard not to, and the reaction when they realise can be frightening. You definitely need to know your audience, particularly in the confrontational atmosphere we have going on right now. If you aren't sure your teasing will be well received, it's better to bite your tongue. I wish it wasn't so but it is. For the record, other Texans hate people from Austin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Gymnastics! Daughter broke her arm doing a cartwheel last night, supposed to be going on holiday on Tuesday, cancelled! Gutter. Happened to us a few years ago. Luckily the insurance paid out no bother and we managed to get away later in the year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarley Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I almost got thrown out the smithsonian last year for posing for a picture infront of a Trump exhibit with my thumbs down, some old woman complained and told me to go back to Ireland, cow. Hopefully you got at least one boot to her pie before your deportation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 There has got to be a way or at least a balance, to not get bogged down by ironing and not being an absolute mink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is. It involves getting someone else to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Yep, that's nonsense. You obviously just go about looking like a student who can't be arsed. Shake the shirt a couple of times before hanging it up, make sure it is hung up perfectly, and it'll be fine. Doesn't work with all shirts, cotton ones for example, but works perfectly for my work shirts. Just taken one straight off the rack and it's perfect. The only bits that aren't are the arms but I'll either have them under a jacket or more likely have them rolled up anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On route back to Edinburgh after a wedding where I drank far too much, really just want to get home and lain flat on the sofa with lucozade and coffee as soon as possible, if I'm held up further because of people who like to cycle or run or stupid things like that I won't be impressed. If you're drunk it's best to stick to the back roads anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As people keep suggesting in the Viz letters column, give your shirts to Oxfam. They'll wash and iron them, then you can buy them back all fresh and ready to wear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until I checked their website and found that it costs eighty-five quid a time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
