Its a good idea! go back to new term time with a new look, then do a talk on change of the the human fiscal being type thing, but dont mention the landing strip, parents might get a bit miffed.
Or anything to do with toes for that matter.
Or thinking of becoming a dredlocked rastafariun
Hmmmm, yeah, just go for the haircut, maybe a bit of colour too, but not on the landing strip, tried it on my bush once an the bleach was agony, different story there

I've used the power squirt stuff before and it's worked quite well - you need to be sure the plumbing's in reasonable nick and not completely blocked before you use it tho, or you end up with the pipes coming apart 
Use baking soda or the mr muscle stuff first, then use one of the power shot things on it..

If you are going to be using a powershot or other pressured method of trying to remove a partial blockage in a drain.....
Mr Muscle, or any of the drain cleaners contain acids which will and can cause a lot of pain if splashed on to bare skin
As a plumber, one of the first questions that I always asked when attending a blockage, was if ANY type of drain cleaners had been used.
Please be careful...... and call the guy who installed the drain

I don't think baking soda is going to do a damn thing to a blocked drain. You normally use Caustic Soda to clear a drain (available in most drain cleaners).
On the other hand, I've always found some gentle sucking on my pipe clears any blockage very quickly.

You need to get someone to look at your pipes Jen
Tell you what, I'll have a look when we're over

Not sure, Mrs Cooler thinks that we should wait until the house is sold and then come so that we don't have 'squat' at friends for too long. House should be sold within three weeks and finished work yesterday
Got the golf on and may bring some clubs over, fancy playing a round with me
