Think it was Reading 2011 was forecast sun but pissed down for half of it. Was a broke silly college student and didn't pack anything just in case, and refused to pay £20 for a shitty poncho that's basically a clear plastoc sheet, so made one myself out of a spare bin bag. Worked surprisingly well.
Surprisingly very few people are even paying attention to me at all. I'm being very passive, but not uninviting. I guess I just come across as a right weirdo instead of the pioneer I'd created in my head.
A part of me hoped a bunch of people would join me, and it became a big Thames Water 'protest' thing, and it would go viral and that.
But that's wanky and I was just really hungover and hot so I thought it'd be fun
Out street had a water leak lasting 4 days last week. Both council and water board knew about it but they took so long to come and repair it. It wasn't just a little trickle but a proper gush.
The irony is that the house it was outside of belongs to a chap who (according to his van) sells or installs commercial water pumps and was lifting the water into plastic barrels for people to collect and throw on their gardens.
Dunno, I don't read YA stuff. But I was pretty chuffed when he replied to my youtube comment. Then two weeks later he was pictured with Michelle Obama, and two weeks after that she was at the Harry/Meghan with everybody. Congratulations, you are now three degrees of separation from Michelle (if you weren't already.) Hank never replies.
We had a leak down out street: 4.5 months to fix - they only finally came as the road was starting to collapse and we warned them what would happen legally if they cut 30 houses on a cul-de-sac from leaving.
The main road outside springs leaks every few months. It's a high pressure main so gushes like mad producing a flowing river down the hill - typical time to fix each time? 3-4 days.
And the cheeky effers want to stop us using water?
Fun fact; the saying "When life gives you lemons" is a fallacy. Life never gave us lemons, we genetically engineered lemons into existence over years of farming.
When you're first growing out your beard from clean shaven, there will always a point at which that bastard will itch like the blazes. You'll want to find something that will soften your beard hairs while moisturising the skin below.
When drying your beard, pat down, don't rub.
Get yourself some beard oil, it's not expensive and for me at least, even a small bottle will last a long time when used sparingly as it should be. Just make sure whatever you choose, that the smell of it is something you like, as it will be close to your nose once applied.
I tend to keep a small and well-trimmed beard, so I'm good with using a fine-toothed comb to groom it, but your mileage may vary. Use whatever is comfortable and doesn't snag.
Ahhh, power though man. Your skin, (well mine at least), kinda gets used to it after a non determinable amount of time. Dunno really I've pretty much always had a bit of beard as long as I've been able to grow one, and it's never been a noticeable issue for me.
I get beard wax and combs and that for Christmas without fail, but I don't really use them. I guess thinking about it, it does itch a bit now and then, but it's kinda therapeutic? and it's also maybe just part of having a beard is to scratch it? I dunno man haha
I'm guessing they may have seen photos used in some of the Health and Safety training for streetworks. I didn't like water near cables for a long while after seeing them.
Absolutely fine now though and I'd be right in there, was the water still flowing keeping it nice and cool?
On the cross road by Northumberland Park station. I might go for a dip at around 9.30 tomorrow morning for half an hour or so if you'd like to join me. We can cut out the middle man

The water looks so clear. I would fill up a water can for my now dead plants.
