Maybe you could paint it like the blue man group ?‍♂️

I think the best part of her hair dying is she clearly got bored pre their latest online shop as she ordered it specifically to do it ?. Didn't even know my mum liked pink. I guess ita a new slant on a blue rinse...

I just got my clippers in the post. I told the wife to give me a number 8 on top and a 4 back and sides.
I now have a number 4 all over!!!?

I feel your pain, my wife got the clippers out yesterday. My only words we just be careful and don't go near the beard. I've ended up with a No6 on top, a No1 at the sides and you guessed it she went to low and got the beard with the No1, so I've had to completely buzz cut that to ?

Only way I can describe it is I look like a Marine. Sadly not the former Royal Marine I am, but a US Marine with a crap hair cut. OORAH!

Either that or I look like a 12 year old boy I'm not sure what's worse.

Like Action Man then ??
 
An old lady in sheltered accommodation in Edinburgh, got a visit from police who told her they had an anonymous phone call saying her son was visiting her.
Thy told her they would fine her if they received another call leaving her distressed.
When did police get the power to fine anyone on the basis of an anonymous phone call.

Another point I had to take my daughter to hospital this morning to get blood samples taken.
The hospital had stringent procedures in place.
I'm walking into the department and a hospital worker a cleaner I think walks besides us then stops at a lift and asks us if we want to go up in the lift with her.
I told her the last place I'd want to be is in a lift with strangers at present.

i actually turn off once they get to questions. I think it will come to the point when no press can actually ask questions.

You should try watching the Scottish digital version of FMQT.....as some wit said three clueless Unionist politicians copying the Two Ronnie's Mastermind sketch but their subject being...….'asking the last question that has already been answered'.:love:
 
Mrs Hogie just received notification that, as much as her charity helpline provides very helpful support to the NHS - they can't keep everyone on the helpline in place - and so she's been furloughed. Her employer asked - she offered - they accepted. She's OK as she knows that the charity desperately needs to cut outgoings to the minimum and so only a core of the most experiences nurses will be kept on.

She gets that, but she is a bit down about it as she felt that she was 'doing her bit' for her previous colleagues in NHS breast cancer teams across the UK. But hey. Her super-boss assured her that, though she was new to the team - she was an important and very valued part of that team. Which has helped.

That is told as if hundred per cent accurate. I doubt it is, because, as you say, the police could not fine
her without evidence. What you describe is not evidence.
More importantly, the person offending is her son, is it not? ( if true), so it would be him who commits the offence, not her..

She may well be distressed at the police warning her that her son may be fined if he does visit her unnecessarily, - a more likely version.
But nobody knows what really happened but the officers and the lady.

I was still struggling with the test test test thing until yesterday during a discussion about it, it sunk in. If you test as many as possible you can find out who HAS THE VIRUS AND SEND THEM INTO QUARANTINE., and therefore stop them from infecting others. Sorry, just had to post that in case anyone else is struggling with this idea.

Bit like the silly SNP member on the Health Select Committee who had to be reminded that the NHS in Scotland was devolved and the responsibility of the Scottish government. So it appears there are a few up north who should stay away from politics

Would she not like to volunteer?

I'm not sure she could as furlough rules very strict about not doing any work for your employer whilst on furlough. Could volunteer elsewhere of course but my furlough terms say I must be contactable during my normal working hours...which may be rubbish!
