The UK have just thrown back a huge re-think policy reccomendation too... sux...

Government offical salamander pedophile ninja pirate zombie terorists...

Slightly different circumstances, but I suffer from a form of Alopecia which normally results in a daft 'monk' haircut - no hair on the top of my head, just around the edges hahaha! Makes for fun times I can tell you.

Myself and a few friends went to a well known live music bar in Edinburgh 2 years ago. Being the dead of winter and in Scotland it gets slightly chilly so most peeps have some kind of head wear on. I was way cooler tho, a nice pinky-black wig :)

We went into the bar, had a few rounds of drinks, only to be disturbed by a 'bouncer' who demanded we took our hats off. Apparently there is a dress code which states no hats. Hmmmmm, well we were let in by the bouncers, served by the staff, kept ourselves to ourselves and only after a few hours being there did the hatwear become an apparent issue. At NO time during the evening were we told to take our hats off, nor were we asked at the door. There are also no signs etc stating this so-called hat policy.

As we did not take our hats (or wigs lol) off, we had our table grabbed and tipped by the bouncer which resulted in all our drinks and various belonging all over the floor and over us. Cue a bunch of peeps going mental and leaving, never to return again... I just wonder tho, would they have made me take off a hat if I was wearing one?

Sigh, we don't have anything like that in the UK :(

Prep H is also used for tattoo work in order to reduce swelling etc...

Cue me in the Local Tescos buying some sweeties and a big tube of H :D Mucho embarrassing!

$52 for the ring... I wants two for wedding rings :D

Think of the gross factor when people find out what they are lol!

I see the point from both sides. I live on a huge park in the city centre in Scotland, so there are 'yoofs' who do the whole drinking/shouting/abuse thing but not all of them do. A bunch of them think it's cooler to watch me play tennis with my 2 dogs :)

It's a shame that where I also live, on many streets there are signs warning about fines for playing football/games/skates/having a life etc...

What are kiddies to do? The comment earlier was spot on: we (as adults lol, moan and complain that they spend all day talking to their cyber mates, or even their 'real' friends online more than they do in person. 'I was out till it was dark!' we say. But when the police are called night after night, day after day, you do tend to get a bit of an attitude. Unfortunately, it's the wrong attitude...

It's not so much Jstor for life, but Athens for life :)

Hmmm, my mother and I have been registered donors in the UK via the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust for many years. No charge to register either...

These have to be the most fantabulous shoes I've ever seen!
Do they ship to the UK? I have a student loan payment due into my bank account soon :D

Hi, long time reader and first post!
I am currently off on Easter break from university in good old Scotland, revising for up-coming exams.

I did my usual skive today on Boingboing and this resulted in my being distracted for the WHOLE DAY reading this :)

Good stuff, I'm away to hunt down some of your other works and skive some more :D
