I suppose I find this kind of funny, but it doesn't belong in the other thread.

I was using the clippers to give myself a No.3 this morning and as I finished I cleaned the clippers and then checked with the mirror. I could see a darker patch I'd sort of missed on the back so grabbed the clippers to sort this bit out.

As I'm shaving away I'm thinking, wow, there's a lot more hair than I thought, and then realised I'd not put the guard back on. Anyway, I'm now covered in a light stubble as it needed to be evened up.

Ha ha. Home made haircut!

I find myself thinking this most Sunday evenings: it's 2014, and no one has yet to invent the self-ironing shirt.

Charles Tyrwhitt non-iron shirts are the business.

I always find non iron shirts still need ironing.

Serious questions.

1. Do you get a crease down the sleeve?
2. Does the collar look OK?

Two yesses might just get me to take a look as well.  I buy my shirts from Lewin's usually, and they're fine.  But I do hate ironing with a passion.

I quite enjoy ironing. Within reason, of course.

CT's non iron efforts are great I agree. I still think they need ironing though as I'm anal like that.

Queuing like fuck to get to the tip at Cheney Manor, which is fine, except for the amount of people in tiny cars with 2 black bags in the boot.

Why bother?

Our local tip is ridiculous. Took some stuff up there in a mate's little runabout van- only a tiny thing, but as the only other car in our household at the time was a convertible, it was better than nothing. As we're dumping it out some chap comes over and asks to see our license. Apparently if using a vehicle that is 'commercial' or that is dumping off 'commercial waste' we needed to have one. That I understand, and fair to him he let us unload the van before leaving (as what we had was obviously not commercial waste, just stuff from the back of the garage...) instead of making us fuck off with everything still in the back.

What pissed me off was that whilst he was telling us this a massive fucking Range Rover with all the seats taken out pulled up next to us and started dumping bag after bag after bag of builder's rubbish. Did he ask to see their permit? Did he fuck...

Modern men? Pah, I enjoy ironing

Whenever I do ironing (which is rarely, god bless Ted Baker's non-iron shirts) I make little choo-choo noises. It's just like playing with steam trains as a kid. Except about 180 degrees hotter.

Did a similar thing a few months back. The wife usually cuts my hair and while she was finishing something else, I startd to get the clippers out, plug them in etc but hadnt quite got round to putting the guard on when she came in, and took over. As the first stroke went up the back of my head I thought "That feels cold", only to hear "Oh Shit!" from the wife. As you say, once you've done a bit, theres no going back and you just have to shave it all over.
