A product was just advertised on TV as being "capable of removing up to 100% of makeup"... 0% is up to 100%!

As a teenager christmas day door knocking was the norm.
In those days we/they used to offer the magazines for money. Christmas day, people were in such good moods you could place/sell loads of them in one hour.
It all went on your monthly report and looked good.
I remember it didn't go down very well with my Dad - being interrupted in the middle of Christmas dinner!

I've had dealings with a couple over the years.

Colemans mustard vs cocaine....put either in your nose often enough and they will both burn a hole through your septum. And no, Classic 33, that's not from personal experience. As an undevout Episcopalian Buddhist who in depressing times like these turns to the Tao, let me say that zealots in any religion make me want to say "Kiss my tuchus!". The only exception is, of course, those who practice the bicycle religion.
And speaking of my personal bicycle worship, today I pulled out my minivelo which I've not ridden for a while. If you think it has twitchy handling with its tiny wheelbase, you would be right. However I got re-used to it PDQ and found it to be a fun change of pace. Probably it belongs in a circus with a clown rider but what the hell.
Be safe happy and well.... oh, and the other picture illustrates an expression new to me.

Don't think there'll be that many on here who remember Coleman's mustard in powder form. You'll confuse them.

Don't get me started on Scientologists...Just for something really whacky........is anyone here a Scientologist?
I've had dealings with a couple over the years.
When I was a student in Manchester, I had a Scientologist living in the flat above. I got very annoyed with him when he left his bath running and it overflowed and cascaded through my ceiling, then through my floor to the shop below.
Anyone can make a mistake, but when I ran up the stairs and knocked on his door, he refused to acknowledge me! (I could hear him moving around.) In the end, I gave him a 30 second countdown to open the door or I would kick it in. He opened it with 2 seconds to go! I told him that his bath was overflowing and he slammed the door in my face without saying a word, the dozy pillock ...
I went down to the shop and apologised for the water through their ceiling, and explained what had happened. They said that he had done the same thing twice, the year before I moved in!
All that is just a way of saying that his intelligence did not impress me. Some of his Scientology mags were put through my letterbox instead of his. I had a quick look at them before taking them upstairs - what a load of old tosh! There was one time when they reported on the grand launch of L. Ron Hubbard's new luxury yacht. Apparently, followers who donated so many hundred pounds a year would have their names recorded in the ship's log. A few thousand, and your name would be engraved on a small brass plate which would be screwed to a wall somewhere on the vessel. A donation of £25,000 or more would get you a short ocean cruise when LRH was elsewhere - bargain!
As for the E-meters ...

Morning. The usual sleepless night. Not sure why I bother going to bed!
It's chucking it down but thankfully not that cold. Off for my early trot soon. I have been watching someone I follow on Strava who is also on the forum running using what is called the 80/20 method where 80% of your runs are to be done at a nice low heart rate, similar to the Maffetone method and wonder if it's worth a try, especially for me with the way the body is struggling. I've maybe been trying to keep trying to find the pace I used to have instead of listening to the old body. It might mean jogging along at an extremely slow pace for a while to keep the heart rate down but might give it a go.

Mo, I will be using the Mathetone method for all my rides for a couple of months when I get back on the bike, worked great after the last long layoff I had.
Morning all, heavy rain banging on the Windows most of the night has made for a bad nights sleep. Also twice this week I have dreamed about people fly tipping lorry loads of waste in my garden, so real last night that Pam woke me to tell me I was making weird noises.
