Derek Dangleberries Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'm reading the instructions on my new hand clippers that I bought at the market yesterday. Each clipper fitting has a range of 3mm (ie 3mm to 6mm) luckily I only intend you use it for armpits and around my dangleberries. It's still on charge at the moment. Can't wait to try it out !! 🚑🏥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Unpacked and used my new BP cuff for the first time. BP still a bit high at 132/86, but much better than before now that I'm on BP meds. Happy to see my resting heart rate is still low at 56. Edited to add: Cuff I bough is the Omron HEM-7156.

It's because of the high BP reading 180/103 that I had before my first shot I decided it was time to do something about my high BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I'll tell you mine then...I was worried that a lurker might read it and report it.(There are some weirdos out there) Mine was 192 ...... I had been drinking heavily for about a week before the jab. I'm back to 140 now and keeping clean until next Tuesday .. and beyond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to try it out !! 🚑🏥 Be very careful when having a "trim" downstairs. My ballsack looked like it was undergoing death by 1000 cuts last time I tried it. Anyway, picked this up from waterstones, quite funny and interesting look at what can only be described as a very tough life under the sea... The Navy have some very peculiar traditions. My Grandad was on the Subs during WW2 (well, until the end of 1939) he then went onshore and always said if he never saw the inside of a Sub again it would be too soon lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemondropkid Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Reading this for the first time, though familiar with Graham Greene. Had forgotten what a wonderful writer he was. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemondropkid Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Reading some sound strategy for the high rollers on here who travel business class. septuagenarian Aunt Agatha trying to cover the cost of flying first class with boozing in the lounge and on the plane. “ Steward another glass of champagne and another vodka.” “We are just descending Ma’am.” “The more reason for you to hurry, young man. “ Classic, I’d suspect Greene wrote at least 12 better books than Travels with my Aunt. Some classic holiday reading if I ever get out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
