Do you reattach the aglet or just let them fray?.

Burn the end so it melts, put a bit of tape around it or let it fray.

Funnily enough the pair I bought today had laces just about the exact length that I usually have them. Sadly though I am returning them for another pair of the same style I already have, but in a different colour, which will probably have the longer laces.

Faucets that don't go into the bowl and swirl the water around the bowl, instead go straight down the hole.

The barbers are a kin rip off where I live. All the 'cheap' barbers (up to about 13€ for a cut - excluding tip) literally take less than five minutes to give you a short back and sides. The lazy gets don't even bother to switch to scissors when giving the top a trim, just using their machine and a comb to whop way more off than you asked for.

If you want to go to a 'good' place when you're looking at around 25€, and obviously they're expecting a tip on top of that too. Oh, and a 1 minute hair wash will set you back between three and five quid. Ain't no way at all I am paying close to 30 quid for a short back and sides when I get it cut once a month.

This one fat Iranian guy who was in a place I frequented took the mick big time once by taking a phone call and continuing to cut my hair, with the bleedin' phone between his ear and his shoulder while he continued to snip away. Needless to say I didn't go back after that!

When I was in the Philippines recently I tried a little barber shop I spotted and it cost me less than ONE POUND for a 15 minute cut, fresh clean shave on my sideys and neckline, plus a two minute shoulder massage. And that was the best cut of my life from a guy who actually took pride in his work.

You don't have to suffer. Two acceptable options that have worked for me....

1. Just let it grow and tie it back when it gets in the way.

2. Buy a hair trimmer and do it yourself. It's easier than shaving and you'll wonder why hairdressers charge so much.

.....in recent years I have noticed how often people use the phrase “I love you” each time they finish a conversation with a partner or family member. I just think it dilutes the meaning and is said automatically along with “goodbye”. A girl I worked with always finished a phone conversation with her husband with “Love you”, yet was having an affair with a colleague.

Yup. My missus also has the dreadful habit of putting an x at the end of her texts. Worse, she expects them back.

It just becomes punctuation. A full stop will suffice thanks.

(The worst bit is when it becomes habit and you text a mate about something and finish with an 'x' ffs! )

I also hate it when you're expected to reciprocate on fb or show public support/affection for stuff. I've almost canceled my fb account because of this.
