That's cos it's a dry cold.

Chuffing straight, flat hair in the winter and mega frizz in the summer. Good tip, buy wigs or shave head.

You know, on first scan I read that as 'I had a threesome - they needed a good warm up period!!'. Then I read it again and lost interest.

Okay all, less of the banter, I haven't referred much to the wiki yet, guess I'm still all so new at that. Yes I should have read the message , I did read the intro but thought hey I'm not doing anything offensive so I'll come back to it. Glad you had the last laugh mm! But overall I've had some useful feedback on my other posting and others been very helpful, thanks you know who you are!
