Public Service Announcement

[Bob Green]

I feel I must relay to you of an experience I had today.  The main thrust of this post is to bolster the saying “Preparation Is Everything”.  If I can save one fellow member from this stupidity, my work is done.

Today, I will probably go to a main shopping centre to purchase the requisite gifts for folk later today.  Now, you may have heard some retailers have instructed the female Financial Control operatives at the check-out to give a male, whose purchase(s) exceed £100, a peck on the cheek.

Armed with this knowledge, I decided to preen myself in readiness to which, in my plan, included the trimming of my beard so I am not guided to the 3 ton Sloth lookalike Financial Control operative on till 44.

Standing in front of the Bathroom mirror, I engaged the trimmer power switch but then realised my vision correctors lay next to the sink.  Still with the aforesaid trimmer merrily humming away, I grasped the vision correctors to place them on the mounting points of my head when I began to loose the grip on the vision correctors.

A small grapple on my face ensued whereupon I moved the beard trimmer as fast as I could whilst still trying to save the vision correctors.  Sadly the beard trimmer, vision correctors along with the Brawn toothbrush was subject to the forces of gravity and made a bee-line in to the bath.

On retrieving said items and vision correctors re-mounted securely, I stared into the Bathroom mirror to be confronted by a refection of my face with my N/S cheek looking not too dissimilar to a “Crop Circle”.

What I am preaching to you good folk is many fold:

1 - Always ensure all equipment required for the task of preening is secure

2 - In this instance, always ensure the beard trimmer is set appropriately for the task in hand, not at zero

3 - Never think some nubile young nymph will want to kiss you on the cheek

Remember; Preparation Is Everything

I hope this Public Information Service will be of assistance to all.

As a bye, I now sport a Goatee.

ALWAYS leave adjustable beard/hair clippers set to the longest setting, do not leave hair clippers set to "1", only to find out by running them up the back of your head and over the top.          

And for comedic value, it looks like the first cut of the lawnmower after winter's over.  

Even worse is knowing that you've then got to carry on and do the whole thing like that.

£100 for a peck on cheek..... blimey its £25 for full s.x in Redditch...... you must live somewhere very posh...lol

[V8grunt]

Measham posh!  The only reason I go there is for the car auctions!

The main street will test your suspension out.

You could always change the colour of your car to

"Clay red" if you drove past Redbanks pipe yard in the wet!

Mind tho there is a VERY select area if you turn left at the traffic lights, First on the left I thinks!  

Dont turn right tho cus thats called the "Concrete Jungle"
