The mainland? What bloody mainland? Mainland Europe? Miles away from them. Britain and Ireland are both Islands you know Ed! Tiny little ones in proportion to the island you're on at the moment .

I have long maintained that this site is more than JUST anout shaving, it's like a 'mens' group' for a lot of us, at least it seems that was to me...

I felt like I had met a big group of kindly uncle's when I first came here, now I feel like.I have a big group of.friends I would never have met otherwise

The Italian parliament is better, they have fist fights and.stuff.

Just because your island is bigger doesn't make.it better. Hang on it's.going to be my.island.soon too. But yes I meant the mainland of the united kingdom

That's as 'bout as true a statement as any I've heard in a long while!

A little time ago I was at my son's 'camping buck's night' (a camping version of a buck's night) and someone asked why men have nipples. In the end we had decided that they would be useful if they provided snacks, I suggested Doritos (corn chips) on tap so to speak. In the end we decided Doritos from one nipple and salsa from the other would be generally beneficial to the human race. Generally. However, we decided expelling Doritos from one's nipples may be slightly painful, so some sort of soothing nipple cream may ALSO be expelled from SOME men's nipples to offset the pain. The recipient of said nipple cream could barter for it by expelling Doritos (and salsa) as payment....

Was this the "am I evil?" Camping trip Carl?

Love this description Ed! Describes this thread perfectly

Worth the wait

I quite like waking up, and lying in bed for half an hour or so checking up on the forum, it makes 4am not.so bad. Today was exciting, I had loads of replies to threads to check, which I am still working through.
It's the bleary eyed morning after the houseparty, at some.point someone is.going.to suggest going.to the local caff for a dirty fry up, then back into the southern comfort and.blue bols until the offie opens.

Southern Comfort and Blue Bols? Together?
What would you call that?
