Very chilled out on the sofa and been planning to get to bed the last hour but too tired and lazy to get up! :pac:

My OH gave me a much-needed “Covid cut” yesterday before he got unwell.


Here are the results...

Is the missus a barber? That's quite impressive!

While the grass may be cut, my hair isn't. I've reached the point where I really need a hair cut. Tried to buy a barber gadget online and everywhere is sold out of home versions. Cannot afford the 120 quid + pro versions. So gonna get Mrs G to do it the old fashioned way tomorrow. Wet hair. Crimp with comb, snip with scissors. She's doubled over with laughter at the thoughts of her dodgey stroke hand controlling it all safely.:D:eek:

I'm thin on top as it is.. shaved now. Ever see that film 'the boy in striped pyjamas' ?

Mister, not missus...lol

Nope, he’s a business strategy planner. He does cut his own (balding) hair with trimmers. Not bad, eh? :pac:

Jupiter I think he did well (without a before pic to compare of course ) I hope he's feels a little better soon..

Harry I shaved me noggin too. Tis growing back at an alarming rate, always seems that way when it's that short I guess.

Grand job in fairness.. mines rough as f*ck. Me thick eyebrows make it worse looking. Youse gay lads keep it snappy! I'm a strategy planner of sorts meself,it's pretty stressful no wonder he's losing his hair! I can relate

It's 2.59am, and I am sprawled on the leaba mostly growing my hair and watching a John Ford documentary. A few hours from now, the laptop will inevitably have run out of battery and I'll be facing a different angle. Still planted in the same location, and the hair technically longer. Talking Heads and all that. Tomorrow's (today when dawn breaks) internal struggle will centre on comb versus garden shears. Stay tuned for more haphazard antics like the time I pushed the button on the nespresso machine when there was no capsule in it but the liquid was coloured how long was the residue there is it safe to drink I don't know better change the water then insert another capsule.

Morning all, cloudy day around here so gonna do my morning walk before it gets too hot. I was lucky and purchased a hair trimmer during my first days here for 30 Euro, so I just cut my hair every week or so, I always kept it short due to the heat so it looks normal. The missus on the other hand is freaking out and trying to get a friend to volunteer to cut her hair.

Stay home, stay safe :) (Every time we make a phone call, we hear this message in Arabic and English before the phone rings)

Deskside. Tasty coffee.

Started watching the new Harley Quinn animated series last night, it's hilarious, violent and full of bad language... very adult themed cartoon from DC. Well worth a watch if you feel like a giggle!

Happy Wednesday Wherers!

bolgbui41

Reluctantly back at the desk after a five day bank holiday weekend. I need to write two sentences to finish an article draft. I know what I want to say, but have now been staring at the document since half nine trying to actually write my thoughts down. Can't start preparing for tomorrow's online classes till this is done. Anyone want to swap brains and/or jobs for a while?

Can someone help me with my ignorance?
I was pointed to Borrowbox from here when I enquired about how to cope without physical books now libraries are closed.
How come some books are 'on loan', actually most books and I can't currently check them out?
They're not hard copy books so why can't multiple people be able to read one book at the same time?

I'd also love to know the answer to this - the current offerings are really limited (Irish language books in particular). I'd imagine it might have something to do with copyright?

Purple Mountain

Jupiter, does your partner do lady cuts too?
Any good at layering and side fringe?!

Grandeeod

Haircut done. Neck shaved too. Feeling better after that grooming. No dinner to cook as cottage pie leftover from yesterday. Have a Wednesday night beers on facetime organized for 6pm tonight. 3 of us. Actually looking forward to it.

Have to post the mandatory : Pics or GTFO

Well done to Mrs G cant have been easy.

@PM & BB shoot emails off to your libraries. ( maybe they have 'bought' a number of virtual copies and thats the max number that can be virtually borrowed ? - just a guess )

Sorry to hear its wet Way Down South. Another super day up here.

I caught up on that last night too..... Jesus her sitting on the single bed waiting for him brought back memories..... Complete contrast to now, where it's "did you lock the kitchen door? Is the alarm on?" etc.

There's definitely rain in the air. Garden will be happy.

Who turned off the sun?!
Was finishing up work, planning to have a glass of wine in the garden and now it’s dark and chilly out there.
Heading to collect some groceries, there better be cornettos in the bag

ETA: Disaster, not one cornetto

We just had a sand storm, visibility down to 50 meters, so glad that I wasn’t working

Am in the garden trying to think of some, of any, excitement for the evening.
Might go break some laws like a bad ass.

You going to go for a 5.5km walk??

5-6 km walk in the Phoenix Park after working from home. On the bus now back from Castleknock gate to Navan Rd. Cracking day!

Cheers for the compliments on the gruaige after my Covid cut!

I might go 5.5 km, sit outside a pub, pretend like it's a beer garden, drink a can of beer, play some music on my phone and smoke a doobie.

See you there Grem!

Sounds like a plan.... Let us know the pub so we can all accidently converge... Maintaining social distance of course

My Strawberry plant needs lots of rain since I put it out in the sun. It needs consistency above and beyond watering.

I have done that in a very quiet way. A nice walk to a rural boozer. Watched the sun go down while suppin a beer on an outside bench. No doobie.:D But the more urban variations of it just look like dipsos (kids in toe) assholes. I've seen them doing that out my way. Not nice. Picnic benches outside bars at two in the day. Pissed. A bit sad on the kids in particular.

Wednesday beers (online via Facetime) was pretty poor. I won't repeat it. You really can't talk the same when lads wives are hanging around in the background and they're acting "different". I had the pleasure of being at my isolated tech desk. Remember Chat Rooms all those years ago in the early days of the internet?? That was great. Boards is still like that in some ways.

Gremlinertia

Ah geocities and early yahoo chatrooms etc, miss those.

Same here Grem. Specialist rooms were tame enough and good fun. Usually organized around a set time one night a week. Random rooms could be feckin mental and very very little moderation.:eek:

We are pioneers of the Internet.:D

Worked in the IS dept of a company back 99/00/01 lots of odd hours (surprise, eh) chatted with people from all over, twas magic.

From me to you, we'll keep you.:D It's a hard slog these days chatting to people who only remember the internet via social media on a PC/Laptop and then the Smartphone.

Boards.ie was there in the early days, even when it was slower than a chat room on a Saturday night!

Anyone remember 3txt chat on TV 3 2001/2002?
You'd text in from your phone,user names , your message would appear on screen (like teletext) hilarious tbh !
