ASK THE EXPERT
No matter how stupid it makes you feel or how trivial you believe it to be, just ask the expert and I will get you a full and frank reply.
Easier than Google
More reliable than Wikipedia
Have a go if you think yer up for some education. Whether the wonders of the golf swing, rugby, the wonders of the universe, whatever you like. If you seek the opinion of one more qualified to give it than you you've found the right place.
Who knows, others may even have enough wit to provide answers.
Like the Fosters ads only more righteous.

Re: ASK THE EXPERT
I have a stick that is about 8 inches long (no innuendo). I was told that I had to make it shorter.
I can't break it, I can't cut it, peel it, or bite it. I can't even touch it.
Can you help please Baggy?

Nose hair = definite trim-not pleasant to have a rogue snatter doing a Bungey without you knowing.LastKnightoftheproms wrote:Nose and ear hair. To trim or not to trim?
Ear hair = personal preference-potentially handy insulation for the cold winter months.

Re: ASK THE EXPERT
And it takes on a life of its own. User generated content, and all one has to do is sit back and let the thread function itself.
Surprising that, seeing as the very first query remains unanswered...

Where is the nearest place to park for free (without risking clamping/parking ticket) that enables you to have a wee look at the New Titanic building and also the Pumphouse/Drydock bit?

Is Titanic 3D going to be worth it (3 and a half hours) for the Kate Winslet nude scene?

Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Sorry for the delay, out and about and have just parked to enable me to answer the first tranch of queries.
I'm afraid Welder that I must seek a little info to provide a simple course of action.
Can't touch it? Are you forbidden or have you an allergy?
Is your stick wooden or perhaps a confection?
Peeling, biting or breaking would not be recommended in any case.
Cutting or touching, why oh why not, it appears someone is deliberately trying to make your task more difficult than it needs to be. Suggest you consider the many options of positioning it with an implement which will ensure that you done touch it, equally a boy scout will be all too willing to assist.
Come back to me with clarifications and we'll have it sort before you can say Hartley is a barsteward.

Re: ASK THE EXPERT
This one is simple but at the same time tricky to be absolutely definitive. It depends on your attitude to body hair, I for example like a woman who takes pride in a good bush, eschewing the childlike look provided by a razor, a mature view I believe.LastKnightoftheproms wrote:Nose and ear hair. To trim or not to trim?
On the other hand if you consider your nose & ear hair doesn't go with an otherwise suave self-presentation, then these blighters cannot be allowed to remain. That said trimming is entirely the wrong approach, it merely stimulates the wee buggers to grow ever coarser and with gusto. In particular neb hair provides a challenge, scissors or an electric trimmer both have their drawbacks but fear not the real answer is to pluck.
If you are somewhat metrosexual you may well already own tweezers, how ever, if like me you are a real man you must wait until an opportune moment and "borrow", by which I mean short term theft, the tweezers owned by your significant other, take 10mls of LastNight's patented "Tighten Up" syrup and begin to pluck.
Plucking not only removes the straggly offending hair but will pull the blighters out root and branch thereby lengthening the period until the next "treatment" is required. I have to say I'm fond of a good pluck.
Ear hair on teh other hand is not quite such a tricky matter and these hallions should succumb to you electric trimmer, scissors should not be used lest you snip a lobe.
YOU'VE BEEN ASSISTED.

Re: ASK THE EXPERT
For that class of nonsense you might consider contacting another type of expert at money saving expert. My services are not for the penny-pinching scrounger. Pay your parking fee and smile whilst you are at it. I believe they are ensuring that a modestly priced pint and burger are to be had at a highly competitive £10.HwoodMike2umate wrote:Where is the nearest place to park for free (without risking clamping/parking ticket) that enables you to have a wee look at the New Titanic building and also the Pumphouse/Drydock bit?

Q. Who was the referee in Ebbw Vale's first home game in the Celtic League (Eugene Cross Park - 24th August 2001)?
It doubled as a Welsh/Scottish game and they beat Pontypridd 18 - 13.

NO, NO, NO. A considerable waste of your funds, it wasn't worth it in normal resolution and for a gleek at Kate's muff a reckless waste of 3 & a bit hours of your life. Think of how stupid you will look in the glasses & if you are a specky barsteward in normal life you will look a holy fright.
's not even taking thon song which puts me off watching the otherwise spectacular fountain show at the Bellagio in Vegas.
To save someone the bother of asking is it acceptable to spend more than 2 or 3 nights in Las Vegas, the answer is a resounding no. Two nights is the optimum before losing touch with reality.

Re: ASK THE EXPERT
Well Merv, swiftly glossing over the state of Ms Winslet's baps, the 2D to 3D is a complicated and highly expensive process & the cost is likely to run into €2 million dollars & upwards for a standard length movie & Jaysus alone knows what for Titanic.big mervyn wrote:I don't think Kate is even DD these days.WhiteKnightoftheWeld wrote:Is Titanic 3D going to be worth it (3 and a half hours) for the Kate Winslet nude scene?

The industry term for the process is "computerised jiggerypokery" and involves layers of film and the use of such technical issues as depth maps when blending the multiple images.
I could go on but nobody would understand the mumbojumbo .

Pour petrol on one end of it and then throw a lighted match on and let it burn away until it is the correct length and then pour water on.WhiteKnightoftheWeld wrote:I have a stick that is about 8 inches long (no innuendo). I was told that I had to make it shorter.

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Re: ASK THE EXPERT
Bagster, I find myself somewhat perplexed by this conundrum. Hope you can help.
Is it better to do the right thing or do the thing right? I’m at a loss
