Did you see the South West Trains train that displayed that on its destination boards. I seem to remember it was ECS though!

I would like to say here I am dedicating this post to... (well you can guess if you look at it).

Hahaha. That's the bus that runs up the Exe Valley. I caught a bus from that stop on Thursday. :)

I've been told that I need a haircut by my other half. She's sharpening the shears up as we speak. :(

I almost had an embarrassing moment earlier today. I was halfway through a haircut when my clippers decided to stop working.

I've had a considerable amount of hair removed during my annual summer shearing.
The second picture was just something I thought I'd try out, I think it suits him.

That reminded me of the Young Ones when they cut half of Neil's hair off.

I thought at first that the two photos went together and they were of a sheep (the light floor being the fleece and the dog's head the sheep's head! :oops:

I think he was saying "You may think it's funny but at least my neck's not cold".

"Oh god, Cowley's having his annual haircut. Here wig-o again"

Oh that's good Gus. Head and Shoulders above anything I could think of and Sassoon after last orders too.
Over to you ;)...

Just as well the poor dog looks like quite a chilled-out character. I'd hate to think that he'd be Pantene with all that stress.

Went to the Showcase Cinema at Birstall yesterday to watch Spider-Man 3D...got out and realized I had missed the last bus back to Leeds!

Didn't really want to face shelling out £15 - £20 for a taxi back to Leeds so walked the 4 and a bit miles to Dewsbury station for the 00:30 Transpenine :lol:

It was actually a really straight route on the whole! Although passing through Batley at that time on a Saturday was certainly an interesting experience!

That's a good walk. Is Batley a bit wild then? I don't think I've ever been there.

Walking by the river this afternoon I saw a swan duck to avoid low flying geese. That's one event that shouldn't elicit any feeble puns.

Entertainment of the highest order in our garden this morning. Opened the curtains to see Jess the cat chasing a fox down the garden. Fox must have then thought why on earth am I allowing a little cat to chase me because it then turned and chased Jess back towards the house. Jess must have shot through the cat flap because I found her in the laundry room looking thoroughly ****ed off.

I thought Windows was crap but...

I've just installed an Ubuntu update and at one point I noticed the progress window said "Configuring Whoopsie", that was what Frank Spencer's cat did in his beret. Now Ubuntu has done one in my PC,

There's nothing worse than a poorly configured whoopsie. It can be quite painful. So I've heard.

I'm not entirely sure I understand how and why this thread came into being, however the forum staff have decided that this has run its course.
