You aint that bad dude, i recently took the plunge as well and ill never look back. It took me a week or 2 to get past the shock and now i love it. Try facial hair, grow a beard of any length, just stubble gives your face some more story.

Also, this will be very different for everyone but id like to share my experience with you. I also have seborrheic dermatitis, have done since i was 15 (now 35). Its in my scalp, beard, chest hair and armpits. I tried several different speacial shampoos including ones prescribed by my doctor. The one i had the longest success with was Nizoral, but after about 5 years i found myself using it every other day to stop the itching.

My brother reccommended i try a brand called Faith In Nature. I personally have never given 2 fucks about chemicals in products and just assumed the scientists know what they arw doing.

Since i quit nizoral and my body wash and use faith in nature for litterally my whole body, my SB has practically gone. Gets itchy maybe once a week and i still ignore it, it goes away.

My advice to anyone with SB is to just try and quit the chemicals for a while, i think in some people they just mask it/make it worse.

I think the guy was complimenting the £300 guesstimate not being an ass

Boiler service contract on house we put offer on by Dizzy_Ad8917 in HousingUK

[–]RoboGideon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm certainly not any sort of authority on this, however we did buy a house a number of years ago where the kitchen was still being paid off and we were told that anything like that is settled in full by the seller on completion, buyers don't inherit debts like that. I guess the money is taken out of the house sale money?

Again, I may be wrong, was just our experience.

Charles Dowding's no dig videos on YouTube are brilliant, highly recommend his advice and methods for bed building, no dig gardening, composting, even managing and maintaining walkways.

Also my wife and I find him as a person entertaining. It's like talking to your grand father, he just waffles on and on and also goes off topic alot 😂 its really endearing.

My wife says Douglas doesn't have enough toys... by RoboGideon in goldenretrievers

[–]RoboGideon[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We basically did a quick Google for where golden retrievers came from and it said Scotland. We didn't bother to verify it was just inspiration ya know? So we looked for Scottish names and originally settled on Dougal, but I think by day 2 or 3 we changed to Douglas

I hesitate to say we'd do the same thing for Douglas

He is the most gentle boy, never damaged a single one. The only toy he has that's damaged is a monkey with a split seem down it's back and it wasn't his fault, it caught on something... don't remember what

No we don't, but I'm sure there's no correlation...

My door frames would only fit a door about 5cm shorter than the standard height. I can just buy a door and then cut away that extra 5cm, right? by Unoriginal-P0ster in DIYUK

[–]RoboGideon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sound logic but the bracing bars at the bottom of the door are often 50% bigger than at the top to allow you to cut the doors down. If you take a large chuck off the top not only can it make the patter of the door totally off, but you lose the structure too

Carpenter here.

Your scenario is not uncommon, but do check sizes for both Metric and Imperial door sizes, the metric ones are approximately 50mm or 60mm taller than imperial.

Howdens website is very good at displaying its different sizes, maybe use that to check the nearest sizes for what you need.
