Hurrah, that is, because I don’t have to actually GO anywhere in it and can just sit and look at it from my window 
The rather attractive scaffolding is a result of major building works on the flat which are being carried out, and for which I am being expected to pay a charge of over £12,000 for what amount to getting my windows painted. As you can imagine… I’m currently investigating ways to take the freeholders to court, along with a couple of other affected residents.
Saw this on Reuters and had to share:
“LONDON – An upmarket London beauty salon says it can give your hair the ultimate shine by treating it with a mixture that includes semen from thoroughbred bulls.Hari’s in ritzy Chelsea offers a 45-minute “Aberdeen Organic Hair” treatment that involves massaging a protein-rich mixture of bull semen and a plant root into the client’s hair, a spokeswoman told Reuters on Friday.
Owner Hari Salem told media that he tried hundreds of products — including wild avocados and truffle oil — before hitting on bull semen as the elusive element in a formula for making hair look gorgeous.”
So he finally hit on bull semen as the magic ingredient. WHAT ON EARTH made him even think of it? Maybe he saw “There’s Something About Mary” and thought – “ohh that idea has legs” (or little tails, whetever). Did he just have some lying around? How the hell did he get hold of it in sufficient quantities? And “a plant root” – potatoes are a plant root, and I wouldn’t want them rubbed on my head. I’m just hoping the testosterone from the bull-juice seeps in through their scalp so they have great hair BUT ALSO GROW BEARDS!!
Still, he wouldn’t have bothered if he didn’t think he could flog it – just more evidence of what these skinny rich lollipop ladies will put themselves through to feel ‘perfect’… my advice? Buy a nice big bar of choccie and learn to give less of a shit. It’s less humiliating, and a hell of a lot cheaper!
Coool! Nobody told me it was going to snow… I mean you forget to watch the news for one day, and look what happens!
And if it took me by surprise, I’m sure london transport will be utterly flummoxed by this freakish manifestation of frozen water in january, of all seasons -beware, heavy sarcasm- so getting into work this morning will be a riot.
