This time no one was prepared and we are getting hammered. Lots of flooding and trees down, power outages and such.
Tree down beside the house and of course it landed on the power lines.
Bugger! Hope you're all ok Bill.

head & shoulders has just lost a customer. sick and tired of them messing with it for the sake of pouncing it up for poooftres. was not happy about the change the last time but at least i was sort of warned by the packaging change. not they have just changed the contents but kept the same packaging... fek right aff.

why cant these companies keep the original but offer alternatives for the "fashion conscious" asswipes.

there used to be just head & shoulders now you have to walk along an isle for half an hour to find the right one. there are ones for men and women etc.etc. its a fekin joke.

I think it's called Diluting the Brand. I agree with you.

In this case, the more dilute it is, the better.

People who keep asking me to change doors on buildings so that mopeds can't get in.

The same people drive in to work with bikes filtering through stupidly small gaps (and I'm on one of them). Why don't they get the fact that if you can walk through it then a moped can get through too?

Just stick a sign up saying "no mopeds"

Or, really big magnets in the door frame.

Steps.

Chicane.

Are these landlords? Video surveillance.
