I thought I'd create a thread about tips and recommendations on....well pretty much anything....big to small.

I start you off with a movie I watched the other night, 'Searching' was its name....it was enjoyable to watch a reasonably sensible and believably normal thriller without bells and whistles rather than the usual over produced, child-like dross hollywood serves us up with.....Yes, I recently watched Skyscraper and Jurassic world 84.6

Another recommendation.....while I wouldn't normally broach anything to do with medical matters....I really have to recommend you having a 'tincture of myrrh' in your bathroom cabinet......Yep, the stuff from the 'three kings' story....it was a cure-all in ancient times.

But we have much more knowledge about it nowadays....If you have anything related to mouth ulcers.....while obviously seeing a professional is the thing to do.....I've always found that applying this stuff onto the inflamed area with a cotton bud has worked like a dream.....stopped many a trip to the dentist for me.

dont eat strong cheese before bed(which ive just done knowing full well it often ends in tears)

never buy F&B paint(farrow & ball) you're paying 80-100 quid for plain 'ol emulsion you can by for £20-£30 quid under a different name.
(i've been in the trade for over 35 years)
Its nothing special.
Also known as 'emporers new clothes' in the trade cause its laughable that people pay so much for it.


If you like the horror film genre watch 'Hereditary'

may not be everybodys cup of tea but has nods to a lot of other horror films from'to the devil a daughter' to the exorcist and onto drag me to hell.
give it a go, on your own, in a dark room.

 


Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Just had my flat completely repainted. My guy is of the same opinion vastly overrated. As I was paying he said you can chose what you like but he suggested Wickes Trade paint is as good as the other brand names and cheaper, so that's what I have.

A couple of money saving tips:

1. Make your razor blade last longer by using a drop of baby oil on the blade when the lubricant strip has worn out. I use a new blade once a month instead of once a week.

2. If you don't have a dishwasher and have those horrible greasy pans with baked on dirt soak them in soap powder. I find you don't need any elbow grease it just comes off real easy. I use 1 tablet of biological soap powder.

3. If you want thick dark hair never support Crystal Palace I am now balding and grey and I know who to blame.

It's like cornflakes, tomato ketchup or beans etc. They are all made by the same few producers, but different supermarkets would recommend a few slight changes depending on cost etc.....
