Dunno why Tiss but I always pictured you with a #1 and losing it wouldn't be too bad. But you have my sympathies, life catches up with you in your 50s and I'm 57 this year :( Mum was 87 this year and tbh that looks a hell of a lot worse.
Not a grade 1, however it's looking like a possibility soon. I turned 50 last June, and it's really gone south since then

And it's true that bald men are more virile - one of the first things I noticed as my hair fell out. :)
:D
Virility isn't the issue, it's fitness :? The misses says I need an affair with a younger woman to cheer me up but tbh I think it would kill me.

How often do you need to water your garden in a typical summer?

Dunno about Derek but all the pots on the patio (40?) need doing almost ever evening, plus the tomatoes in bags etc. And the bonsais enjoy a mist with the hose to keep the leaves working well. I'm going to rig up a pond pump on the waterbutt for the hose this year, tap water eventually causes a built up of salts.

Every evening when it's warm, every few days when it's dry, the rain takes care of the rest. But I've discovered pots and hanging baskets dry out very quickly.

Why is 2 pints of milk 80p but 4 pints is only £1.09? I'm sick of being forced to eat cereal for breakfast every morning just to get rid of my milk.

A feature update is usually an upgraded version of Windows 10 rather than a patch so it takes a while. I never install updates until I've finished trading.

At least it missed the Range Rover otherwise the chaps at the country club might think you're a peasant. Maybe the birds are getting their revenge and for all the ones you've shot at the hunts? :lol:

Milkshakes and Angel Delight are the answer to that, or decant some into the 1 pint sized containers and freeze it. How about developing a cappuccino habit? Almond milk lasts a couple of days longer. ...that's all of my milk based tips :) Sorry not tips, I think the youngsters have decided they're called 'hacks' ...which always sounds like a bodge rather than a good idea but there you go.

I don't like angel's delight or cappuccino but milkshakes could be a good idea. :)

I've never tried freezing milk but I've heard it doesn't freeze well, the fat separates. I would only have full-fat milk in my coffee. Anything else is piss!

1) Buy filtered milk - it lasts 2 weeks and tastes lovely.
2) Eat choc chip cookies with a nice cold glass of milk.
3) Hot chocolate or coffee made with milk, microwaved in the mug for 2 minutes BEFORE you put the coffee or chocolate powder in (Cadbury's my fave).

Enjoy
