True. Not many will admit to a bloke doing something right.
TPBM hasn't quite accepted the fact everything has to be done online these days with no direct human contact.to sort out the inevitable mess.

Very true. If Blue Star Ferries website doesn't work (which is most of the time ) we simply phone the shipping agent in their head office in Athens. Problem sorted in seconds. On one occasion when I couldn't get any sense out of the shipping agents in Athens I phoned our agent on Amorgos and he sorted the mess out in minutes.
TPBM really doesn't want to get storm bound in Athens. ....or anywhere I suspect.

Storms and thunderation are wot Nature invented to help stop the world from overheating. AFAIC they're welcome anywhere anytime 'cept when I got a barby going on out the back.

Yep, and it's a most enjoyable way to cook & eat, especially when SWMBO is away and the dog & I can share some kangaroo steaks.

As TPBY (The Person Below You) and given your recent bodily malady, I am wearing a biohazard suit and am carrying an open umbrella! I reckon one should try and cork it in company. I mean I bet you if I was to let go in a cockpit with you, I could force you into abandoning the aicraft without a parachute out of sheer horror and disgust!

I become an instant horndog romancer whenever I sniff Chanel Number 5 on a busty woman.

Indeed, I find my beard works quite well.

False. Tried to, but after 2 weeks growing it I felt scungy and bummy, plus I couldn't stop my upper lip from fiddling with the stache. I felt so much better and cleaner after I shaved the lot off.

Depends. If being presented to the Thai king or even Yumlick Shinawatra yes. For everything else no. Sandals suffice.

No I don't mind washing up, indeed my first part-time lob as a teenager was kitchen slave and washer up in a local bistro.

For sure. Especially if "that person" is giving me advice. "If you know so much about it, you do it." Same with gardening.

Re: The Person Below Me...
Yes. For example I have very clear memories of seeing V1 flying bombs buzzing over our house in Kent, the county where 1,444 of the damned things came down and exploded. To a 5 year old it was an exciting time; I was oblivious to the dangers. Several were being chased by fighters with guns blazing, and even in brilliant summer sunshine the muzzle flashes were visible, and the gunfire rattle was clearly audible above the throaty roaring of the (probably) Merlins. And all that was 75 years ago, but still embedded in my brain memory neurons ...

I agree it's an ugly word, and although it probably won't effect me as much as others, the fact is probably as ugly as the word.
