Not sure about brandy tag, but tag used to be running about trying to catch each other.

You get to use a tennis ball thrown as hard as you like to tag the other person. A great game that often leads to many bruises and a few tears if wearing a shot to the head.

I always like to play British bulldog at school. Ironically i went to catholic school in a quite a republican area where they didn't normally condone British things :/

Can't imagine a ball to the head doing you that much damage Mick

A musket ball might...Cannon ball more than likely would do a bit of damage...

Just woke up, getting ready to start nightshift. I gonna give myself an hour to wake up before attempting a shave.
On another note the old straight razor I ordered on eBay should be here tommow. Then it's just a matter of getting it cleaned up and sent of to be honed. I was hoping to have it in time to take off my Movember tashe but not likely to happen now.

If you use express post both ways you may well be fine, that would give the guy a week to hone it, if he spends that long in it you will have no blade left

They say to allow 15 days for honing. There aren't many places that do it round here so maybe they are busy

Fair enough, how about doing mocember as well? You might raise some extra cash. on a serious note you never know they may turn it around on time
