Let your fingers do the talking/Timeless joy of cheap tools.
In an attack of carelessness on Friday even, I tried to hold open a loaded door with my right little finger. Or perhaps the wrong one. Anyway, the result was the nail being half ripped off an uncomfortable way down into the nailbed and presumably a deal of blood on the inside of the relevant glove. Even cut down as far as I dare, there's still a good section that's going to catch on anything within a 500 metre radius and cause more blood and swearing.
So I thought I'd try to glue it all together with some reasonably gloopy nailie. And paint the matching nail on the other side for reasons of symmetry.
Result: it looks like I'm dripping the final gothness from my life out of the ends of two fingers. Although I'm starting to wonder if I may as well do the rest, I rather like MAC 'Black and blue'...
Today I was seduced by the wonder that is the local pound shop again. A handful of maybe-useful clampy things for £1.98. Not much use for holding fingernails on, but significantly less useless than talking South Park car air fresheners. I'm sure there's a large factory in China that plans production runs using the same perl script that generates spam message titles.
And and and... Was that Howard Goodall programme (How music works) on Ch-4 a corker or what? It's self-evident that people who know their stuff (and can convey same) are going to be a lot more use that random simpering teevee presenter. Like Radio Humppa from WhatTheHack last year.
