I think afterwards is better because the heat opens your pores a little and the hair is probably softer.

Hair conditioner is really good too, my skin is really sensitive and shaving gel drives my skin insane, so that's what I use and it's fantastic.

At the risk of sounding like the seat of Ryan Giggs' Bentley, I use Gillette shaving gel and Nivea after-shave balm. Mighty tack, the both of 'em. :cool:

For when you are bristly, and have a bit of time. Heat a damp face towel in the microwave for a few mins and apply to face (be careful) and use shaving oil.

Back when I used to shave, I'd always use one of the expensive razors and Shea Butter Shaving Cream. Put the cream on and let in settle for a few minutes, then have a really refreshing shave.
.....not sure if there are and male shaving utensils in the house these days. I used to have to keep some around for when I was travelling with work. Now I dont bother shaving when doing face to face's with clients.

Sounds good and makes sense. I might try it when I get a microwave! I don't think throwing a towel in the oven would do...

My 6 year old boy has recently become obsessed with computer games. He wants to sleep over in all his friends houses that have an XBox, always wants his DS, but we are managing to control him quite well.

But this morning, the moment I've been dreading arrived. He has seen me briefly playing my playstation a couple of times, and when he's seen me, it's just me turning it off as I would never play around the kids. So while we were brushing our teeth he says:

"Daddy, you know the games that you play on the TV, like the XBox, but it's not an XBox"
"Yes son, it's called a Playstation, and is far superior to an XBox"
"Can we play games together on Friday and Saturday?, maybe a football game"


He's finally put 2 and 2 together and realised there is a games console in the house. My games console is essentially no longer mine.

Just tell him the PSN has been hacked, it's a very reasonable excuse and probably true most of the time!

I'm so emotional lately. I hate it. Im sitting here minding my own business, happy out, then I think about how much I love my dogs and God what will I do if one of them dies, I love them so much, and there I am, crying. 15 minutes later, snapchatting my friend and laughing like there was nothing on my mind at all. I am insane.

Guinness has officially sold-out with these new ads promoting the upcoming Six Nations.

Whatever about the Munster All Blacks one being over-played a couple of months ago, they are now airing one on Shane Williams and Johnny Wilkinson, two lads who done their fare share of damage to Ireland over the years. Over-dramatised too of course. Irish institution by eye!

You know your easily annoyed when a TV ad gets your goat up, although this maybe belongs in the "Adverts You Despise" thread on the television forum.

Now hear this: The following individuals/organisations are going to be receiving regular invoices for my time going forward:

* Bus Eireann/Dublin Bus/any shower of latchicos who habitually and regularly place a stoating great lumbering box the size of a bungalow blocking my way at junctions and narrow roads.

* Any knobjockey who dials one of my telephones with their own number blocked. I was a cellular infrastructure engineer at Motorola for seven years. I will find you. I will find you, and I will insert that telephone in your ear.

* Organisations who want to service my boiler/install telephone services/trim my nostril hair/whatever, who, on being asked what time they expect to roll along, calmly, with a straight face, tell me they'll be round "sometime between 10am and 4pm". What in the actual fortified hallucinating fcuk? What do you think I do all day? What do you think pays for your life of leisure??

* Old women in shops at lunchtime holding up a queue the length of the M8 while they sort out their lottery tickets, reorganise their many, many shopping-bags and attempt to pay for a dozen eggs and four packs of bog-roll with a Laser card that expired in 2007.

* Any "professional" who makes an appointment with me, and then trundles along twenty minutes late for said appointment out of breath and with hair and bags flying everywhere. Here is the news: this is not good enough, does not inspire confidence, and wastes my time. I'm leaving, you're not getting paid, and in fact you owe me for a full hour.

Addendum: Phil "Rawhide" Hogan owes me €187,000 for the sheer vast amount of inconsumable, incredible, dumbfounding horse-shít he has perpetrated upon me for the last two years or so in the form of Irish bastarding Water and all its infernal appendages and works. Blast to Hades!!! :mad:

My brother, the man child. To used to being babied and spoilt and now he's an ungrateful self entitled prick. It's only the last year he's realised dinner doesn't cook itself, bills don't pay themselves and it stresses him out. He text me today fighting with me for not washing up yesterday. He seems to forget the fact I wasn't there all weekend so anything that isn't washed up, is from him.

He gets so angry and so stressed out because there's nothing in the house, the heating isn't on, there's no loo roll, the esb bill arrived etc. I've been fending for myself since I was 17 years old and he's had someone wiping his ass up until last year.

So ****ing aggressive. There is no need for it.

Yeah full time he does welding and fabricating stuff, I don't really know what exactly, then he works the farm, then during summer he works after work/farm on silage outfits. But he's just so nasty to me, the prick.

Sounds like too much red meat in his diet, and maybe you could be a bit more patient with the poor fella, give him a bit of TLC. Failing that, a good, swift hobnailed boot in the balls might sort him.:D

There is an ancient Shaolin technique, takes years to master but it's extremely relaxing. It consists of spinning right around on the ball of one foot so fast you're able to give yourself an almighty kick up in the hole. Just sayin', like.

I think we have the same brother. I don't even want to start typing the things that are wrong with mine because I'd be here all day. Suffice to say he's a selfish, self-absorbed, emotionally crippled cúnt of a yoke who only cares about his car, his 3 in 1 and is singularly responsible for keeping the Thai prostitution market going. If anything happened to my Dad I'd insist on him moving out because he's the type of chauvanistic príckface who'd bully my mother into a corner for the rest of her days. Stupid, no good waste of space with the intellect of a garden pea and the comprehension skills of a knat on speed.

Shops discontinuing certain products.

My other half loves pork scratchings and our local Dealz always had them. Then about five months ago, they stopped selling them.
He asked the manager if he was ordering anymore, to which the manager said he'd get some in the folllowing week.

Sure enough, there were more on sale the next week. But when they went, there was no sign of anymore.
Save for us constantly asking for them, they're obviously not going to keep them on a permanent order.

Tesco did this too, with their Mild Chilli Rice Cakes and Homepride sauces. And their frozen chips in the blue bag.

Things I loved and can't replace 'cos nothing's the same!
